EQUILIBRIUM marks the return of former Obese Records CEO and Gully Platoon MC Pegz and former Thundamentals producer Silent Titan.

The idea of EQUILIBRIUM on a personal, environmental, philosophical and political level are the albums main concepts. The ideas outlined are an attempt to give power back to the people, to make listeners think about their actions and highlight both achievements and mistakes the average person and ‘great’ people have made in the past and present. There is an element of hope in humanity, while outlining the devastating fact that most people on the planet are not doing enough to help our plight as a community.

Silent Titan and Pegz traveled across 3 continents to make EQUILIBRIUM. They were the outsiders, entering communities they were not familiar with. Their travel was research into how the rest of the world lives and feels towards their current environment. As well as being an insight into creating relationships with people who could relate to what they wanted to say with the project.

EQUILIBRIUM was inspired by the people who fight to be resistant and make sacrifices to better their living conditions for both themselves and the people around them. ‘Equilibrium’ will be available on vinyl and digital on October 5th.

Here is the first taste of the upcoming Pegz x Silent Titan album Equilibrium feat. Jace XL

PREMIERE: Perth Hip Hop Duo Otiuh Release ’85’

Otiuh are a Perth hip hop duo comprised of childhood friends Cesare Papa and Jahmeil Baker. They combine golden age lyricism with eclectic production and an infusion of funk & soul. The name of the group is taken from a Latin abstract term which refers to leisure time.

It was during these moments at concerts, festivals and in each other’s’ backyards rhyming where the two found their drive to make music. Being fans first, they cite influences anywhere from A Tribe Called Quest to Run the Jewels.

The duo released their first mixtape in 2017 and began performing around Perth. They soon formed a band and released a string of self-produced singles leading into 2018, gaining national airplay along the way. The act is gearing to release their second single of this year, ’85.

’85 is a neck-snapping groove that imagines the duo in a “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” type situation. A state where freedom of expression is enjoyed on the desert road away from society.

Otiuh deliver fast paced, braggadocios verses which bounce off exotic percussion and a creamy synth bassline. The track is further fleshed out by the baritone vocals of fellow Perth rapper José Halftime during the chorus and the screaming guitar of bandmate Will Johnson toward the end of the song.

After a successful run through the Australian series of The X-Factor, Lazy J took off with multiple releases building a solid Australian fan base. His feature on European superstar Faydee’s hit record ‘Laugh Till you Cry’ saw exposure to a new market, with the video exceeding over 60 million Youtube views, being the #1 record in multiple European countries 12 weeks straight.

However, after a few successful years throughout his late teens, J was involved in an incident that would set him back from creating music for a while.

In October 2012, Lazy J was involved in a brawl after a confrontation at his gig led to him being stabbed outside of a nightclub.  Since returning back to the music game in 2017, J has released a mixtape titled ‘Gone A Minute Too Long’, with the hit single Flatline being the first to receive a visual treatment. Now in 2018, Lazy J hasn’t wasted a minute. His latest track Make Money Not Friends features NZ artist Poetik and is produced by local producer DJ Sefru. It also features backing vocals by Sydney singer/songwriter Bea Moon. Check it out below.

Zimbabwean born, Perth native Alex Parkman emerges with his debut, feature length single, Out of Touch. Parkman delivers a smooth blend of new-wave Hip Hop and R&B with deep, emotive concepts.

As a Zimbabwean born immigrant, He moved to Australia with excitement for his new life. With the challenges of adjusting to a new culture, Alex quickly found comfort in knowing that music transcended all cultural barriers.

For him, making music was a gateway to connect and formed a sense of belonging. Out of Touch is an emotional anthem that explores aspects of lust, communication, and love. It delves into the idea of a distant relationship that is constantly out of reach.

I can see I’m bad for your health
I saw it in your eyes, I could tell you needed help
I just want you all to myself
You told me you were loved, can you tell me how it felt

The single utilises a range of moody synths and leads to create an emotional canvas for Alex’s deep, distorted vocals. The minimalist percussion and heavy auto-tune create a sombre yet flowing soundtrack to emphasise the themes of love and lust presented in the lyrics.

Parkman plans to spend 2018 releasing stand-alone singles and working with a wide variety of up and coming producers to further craft his dynamic and authentic sound before the release of his debut EP due in late 2019.

Dos Boy Releases Single ‘Yoga Babe’

Byron Bay born rapper Dos Boy returns with a fresh new trap-banger ‘Yoga Babe’ out now. After moving to Melbourne to pursue a career in music, ‘Yoga Babe’ acts as an ode to his hometown, paying homage to Byron’s huge yoga culture in a playful up-tempo manner.

“I wanted to use that sort of light hearted topic from my upbringing and blend it with the heavy trap sounds I’ve been working on with producer Agnus.” – Dos Boy

‘Yoga Babe’, driven by a bouncing piano melody and roaring base line from rising producer Agnus (Peezo, DEX), showcases the wavy and slightly comedic lyricism of Dos Boy; with Dos Boy himself stating that he sees this song as “the perfect drinking game. Sip your drink every time you hear the word “Yoga”. That would mess anyone up!”

After receiving plays on triple j Unearthed, building a steady following on Soundcloud and performing a string of headline shows across Melbourne, Dos Boy has positioned himself as an artist not to be missed. Hinting that he has an array of unreleased music, unannounced shows and even a trip to America in the works, its safe to say that 2018 is far from over for Dos Boy.

A debut album is a momentous occasion, so it’s with great anticipation we reveal ‘Area Famous’ from B Wise, one of Australia’s most exciting new talents, set for release on Friday 14 September. You don’t need to understand the importance of Sydney’s South-West to appreciate the music of B Wise, but the neighbourhoods he grew up in shaped the artist you’re hearing.

The songs celebrate the suburban streets where fibro and brick are intermixed, kids in the front yard, cars on the lawn and the greatest social melting pot in Australia wakes up everyday and makes a go of it. Wise is a product of that multicultural spirit of respect and aspiration, and they’re found throughout his scintillating flows on ‘Area Famous’.

It’s been a hectic 10 months for the rapper, with the success of singles Feel Something and The Key, a 35 date national tour with Thundamentals, a show-stopping performance at Splendour in the Grass and a huge triple Like A Version appearance in June.

From the initial waves he created off the back of Prince Akeem, B Wise has continually delivered impactful songwriting and opened up a distinct lane in Australian music. It’s a lane that connects with young African youth as much as it does suburban triple j listeners. ‘Area Famous’ is the grand statement of an artist we’ve been waiting for, someone who doesn’t look or feel like anything we’ve heard before.

From the joy and energy of The Key to the collected confidence of Actin’ Different, or the rich storytelling on the Kaiit assisted Time, ‘Area Famous’ is a fierce body of work. It features production by beatsmiths on the cutting edge of their craft; from grammy nominated Uno Stereo to DOPAM!NE, Adit (Horrorshow), Willie Tafa, Juve and more.

With the announcement of his debut album dropping next month, B Wise will be celebrating with his first headline tour across Australia kicking off in October! Presented by triple j, Niche and Elefant Traks.

B Wise ‘Area Famous’ National Tour
triple j, Niche & Elefant Traks present
Fri 5 Oct – The Lansdowne, Sydney
Sat 6 Oct – The Cambridge Hotel, Newcastle
Fri 12 Oct – Northcote Social Club, Melbourne
Sat 13 Oct – Karova Lounge, Ballarat
Sat 20 Oct – Black Bear Lodge, Brisbane
Fri 26 Oct – Transit Bar, Canberra
Fri 2 Nov – Jack Rabbit Slim’s, Perth
Sat 3 Nov – Rocket Bar, Adelaide

KIAN stepped into the spotlight with his killer chorus on Baker Boy’s debut track Cloud 9 back in May 2017. 16-year-old KIAN hails from the goldfield town of Castlemaine. A life surrounded by music, songwriters, and rappers – he’s no stranger to the inner workings of the music scene.

Since the age of two KIAN’s been travelling with his dad making music in remote Indigenous communities. It was at Beswick Community [NT] that KIAN met Baker Boy. Aged 13 & 17 the connection was instant. A few years on the crew were at a loose end and decided to create Cloud 9. KIAN stepped up to the microphone and delivered his killer hook smashing it out of the park. Inspired and encouraged by Baker Boy KIAN began focusing on his own songs.

Since that time he has been listed in triple j’s “best new music” [Feb 2018]. “Waiting” is the first song he wrote, and the second to be released after releasing his debut “Too Far Gone” with Vince the Kid earlier this year. Now KIAN has just been crowned the winner of this year’s triple j Unearthed High competition, stunning the judges with his song ‘Waiting’, an insightful slice of neo-soul expressing uncharted feelings.

KIAN is playing his first solo show later this month, performing with a four-piece band at Castlemaine’s Theatre Royale – the perfect prep for his BIGSOUND debut in Brisbane.
