Krosswerdz Recordings (KWR) Announce The End Of An Era

It’s time to move on.

Krosswerdz Recordings (KWR) came together in 2009 in order to release 3 albums; “Unrelenting” by Wizdm, “It Is What It Is” by Oakbridge and “Bastion” by Brethren (Mistery & Wizdm).

It continued on from there as other artists came on board starting with The Profit, then Izzy, Bay Side Wreckers, Shelly.H, Reckoncyle, BRB & Sounds Like Dsipl. It is with great sadness that we share the news that the label has announced that it is hanging up the boots.

“After 9 years in operation it’s become clear that it’s time to wrap up KWR as a label. There’s been a fair few ups and downs but it’s been a dope journey. We’ve worked hard, come up with some cool ideas (like the 3B), collab’d with some amazing artists and released some dope music (in our humble opinion)”.

Although the KWR label is closing, the individual artists and crews will continue to release new music. Keep an eye out for that.

Eminem Is Touring Australia And New Zealand In 2019!

The wait is finally over! Eminem will grace our shores for four massive Australian stadium shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and for the very first time Perth in February 2019. Eminem will also travel to New Zealand performing for the first ever in Wellington in March 2019 – presented by TEG DAINTY.

Eminem’s fiercely loyal Australian fanbase has been willing for tour dates to be added in this territory, constantly spinning the rumour mill into overdrive, and now their prayers have been answered: the rap god is on his way, special guests will be announced soon and join the line-up for this second instalment of the RAPTURE 2019 stadium tour.

Eminem’s Rapture 2019 tour dates are:
Brisbane Wednesday 20 February QSAC
Sydney Friday 22 February ANZ Stadium
Melbourne Sunday 24 February MCG
Perth Wednesday 27 February Optus Stadium
Wellington Saturday 2 March Westpac Stadium

Tickets to Eminem’s Rapture Tour are on sale now from Ticketek.

A VISA cardholder pre-sale was available from 10am on Wednesday 17 October through to 10am Friday 19 October. Eminem’s live show illustrates exactly why he remains the “greatest in the world” of hip-hop. The Detroit rap icon’s rapid-fire flow, expansive phrasing and acerbic lyrics are awe-inspiring to witness live.

On Eminem’s 2018 headline Coachella set, Rolling Stone gushed, “Everything that made Slim Shady one of the most essential voices of his generation was onstage this weekend.”

When the 15-time Grammy award winner and biggest-selling rapper of all time dropped his surprise tenth studio album ‘Kamikaze’, unannounced, on 31 August this year it was impossible to ignore, flying straight to #1 on the Australian Albums chart where it retained pole position for four consecutive weeks, becoming the MC’s ninth chart-topping album in this country. And the record-breaking rapper just keeps on racking up the accolades. ‘Killshot’, Eminem’s standalone single, scored the highest 24-hour YouTube debut for a hip-hop video (the third-highest music video debut overall) upon its release last month.

Eminem’s previous Australian visit for 2014’s Rapture Tour thrilled audiences at sold-out stadiums across the country and every seat was filled during his previous Lose Yourself Australian tour in 2011. He’s no stranger to selling out stadium shows in less than 30 minutes in this country.

Paul Dainty, President and CEO of TEG DAINTY said: “Eminem is a global superstar and his live shows are phenomenal, we’re proud to once again present his Australian tour”.

You do NOT wanna miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to catch Eminem live! Tickets to Eminem’s Rapture Tour are on sale now from Ticketek.

Eminem’s Rapture 2019 AU tour dates and local on sale times below:
Brisbane Wednesday 20 February QSAC On sale 1pm
Sydney Friday 22 February ANZ Stadium On sale 4pm
Melbourne Sunday 24 February MCG On sale 3pm

Resin Dogs return with new single Activate The Soul feat. Mantra

In the true revolutionary spirit of Hip Hop, Resin Dogs have continuously evolved their style, always staying a few steps ahead of the pack. Mixing together live music, turntables, and guest MCs, Resin Dogs produce a mash-up of sounds, truly modern Hip Hop that is drenched with Breakbeat, Dancehall, Dub and Funk.

Considered as one of Australia’s most iconic Hip Hop acts Resin Dogs have released a number of albums, singles, remixes, and collaborations since 2000.

In November 2018 they will release their latest album ‘NOTORIOUS D.O.G’ which has spawned 3 singles: ‘So Long’, ‘Como No’ feat. Essa and ‘Activate the Soul’ feat. Mantra.

The seeds of ‘Activate the Soul’ were sown when DJ Katch and Plutonic Lab were digging through some records looking for sounds, and Plutonic had his sampler ready. It started from there. The tune was worked on over the next few months adding drums and basslines before the lyrical magician Mantra stepped up to the studio mic to lay down his vocals. Activate the Soul feat. Mantra is available now.

Remi and Raiza Biza Release Runner featuring Production by Black Milk

Melbourne artist REMI and musical collaborator Sensible J are one of the fastest-rising Hip Hop acts in Australia and are quickly gaining the attention of international tastemakers.

“This is the first body of work we’ve ever done that feels like it’s a diary. It’s pretty much my experience of the last two years in terms of relationship stuff, race stuff, political observations and mental health. I think you can hear that in the album, you can hear that it’s my brain… lyrically”. – Remi

Out on REMI’s imprint, House of Beige, the sixteen-track sophomore LP features the widely loved singles “For Good” featuring Sampa the Great, and “Substance Therapy”, and “Lose Sleep” featuring Jordan Rakei.

As well as performing their own sold-out headline tours and world-class festivals, REMI have also shared the stage with Danny Brown, Vic Mensa, De La Soul, Joey Bada$$ and in December this year were invited to perform Gorillaz tracks with Damon Albarn on each of his Australian Tour shows. REMI’s appeal is as diverse as it is impressive.

“Runner” is a high tempo beat driven out an out hip hop track with dynamic production and hooks throughout, and shows why Black Milk is one of hip hops most respected producers, and why Remi and Raiza Biza are two of the most exciting emcees coming out of the Southern Hemisphere.

Remi x Raiza Biza Tour Dates
Friday 9 November – Northcote Social Club, Melbourne
Friday 16 November – The Lansdowne Hotel, Sydney

G-Shock Teams Up With Sneaker Freaker For The ‘Redback’ Just In Time For Halloween

Following the success of their ‘Nightowl’ project in 2015, G-Shock and Sneaker Freaker have joined forces once again on a collaborative project. Commemorating 35 years of G-Shock watches and 15 years of Sneaker Freaker magazine, the new ‘REDBACK’ DW5700SF-1D watch is laden with subtle conceptual flourishes and personal observation.

REDBACK_GSHOCK_SNEAKERFREAKER_10

In 1983, G-SHOCK was born from Mr Kikuo Ibe’s dream to create an unbreakable watch. Over the next 35 years, relentless innovation has kept the brand at the forefront of time-keeping technology. G-Shock has grown to be a powerhouse in streetwear culture, donning the wrists of some of the world’s most influential personalities and collaborating with some of the greatest brands and designers of our time.

Established in 2002 by Simon ‘Woody’ Wood as a niche magazine catering to the underground community of footwear connoisseurs, Sneaker Freaker is an unlikely global publishing phenomenon that is proudly based in Melbourne, Australia. Known for their irreverent attitude, Sneaker Freaker has an impeccable track record of delivering idiosyncratic collaborations with brands including New Balance, adidas, PUMA and Montana Cans among others.

REDBACK_GSHOCK_SNEAKERFREAKER_12

Turning to their antipodean roots for inspiration, Sneaker Freaker’s G-SHOCK design was inspired by one of Australia’s deadliest arachnids. The redback spider is a notorious and prolific inhabitant of outback shacks and dark suburban nooks. Despite their small stature, the female spider’s deadly neurotoxin can prove fatal to humans.

Sneaker Freaker’s founder, Simon ‘Woody’ Wood is a noted G-SHOCK collector with more than 300 watches in his keep. With product knowledge acquired over more than two decades, his aficionado affinity with the Japanese brand is highly visible in the Redback design.

“I love nerding out on the details and those red-faced ‘20th Tribute Series’ watches are some of my favourite Gs of all time. They still trade hands among collectors for big money! When the Redback concept came together, the ‘Vampire’ display just had to happen, but there were several technical hurdles to overcome. This is a highly personal nod to my love of G-SHOCK, and I’m very grateful they allowed me to use the iconic red display.”  Woody – Sneaker Freaker

The undoubted highlight is the blood-red LCD screen. Known by G-SHOCK collectors as the ‘Vampire’ display, this unique feature has only been used once, back in 2003, as part of G-SHOCK’S 20th anniversary celebrations.

Coated in ‘cool grey’ matte resin, the branding, clasp and keeper are accented in metallic black pops. Debossed with Sneaker Freaker’s logo, the backplate was also dipped in black ion plating. Flipping the two-tone strap from grey to red mimics the spider’s natural livery, while a spindly cobweb was spun around the clasp, adding a subtle thematic touch to the strap.





Launching in Melbourne on the night of Halloween, the limited edition Redback is housed in custom packaging that brings coffin couture to the world of G-SHOCK. Limited tickets are available to the launch event featuring performances from Kwame, Melbourne local Kaiit, HANS DC, YO! Mafia and special guests.

As an added bonus, STANCE was also tapped to contribute their creativity to the project. Known for their ground-breaking approach to sock construction, STANCE supplied a pair of their high-tech Ventron socks to the Redback ensemble.

RELEASE DETAILS
The Sneaker Freaker x G-SHOCK ‘Redback’ DW5700SF-1D will be released in limited numbers with the custom coffin packaging from sneakerfreaker.com on November 1 and then the rest of Australia the following day.

Global G-SHOCK retailers will sell the watch in standard packaging from November 8.

And the video serves that time justice, featuring plenty of archival footage of the group’s good times over the past couple of decades.
