Hip Hop Ya Don't Stop

Whilst researching digital content I stumbled across this quote from Cut Chemist on his upcoming Renegades of Rhythm 

tour with Cut Chemist...

“I’ve always tried to tell people that hip-hop isn't one type of music; it's all kinds of music and how it's presented. The music made you think while it made you move."

And it did do just that. It made me think how much I surround myself with hip hop. Not just the music either.Though I'm not attending many local hip hop events on a weekly basis, streaming fresh exclusives or reading Rappers biographies on a daily basis (like I once was), Hip hop is still a very big part of my life! At this point and time this is how hip hop is influencing my life through my job at Boomtick Events…

Philly Blunt’s (Ambar Resident, Chief at Force Majeure, The Bootleg Blog) re-work of Danny Brown’s Dip I have used to promote the upcoming gigs he's playing in our venues! One being this Friday as he supports TWRK! More deets here: http://goo.gl/LKw3tQ

Paul Deej is well known for his illustrations in P-Town, many can be found as the cover art for hip hop artist's including Draft, Mr.Grevis and the late Hunter (RIP Homie) along with a heap of other SBX crew. This beautiful piece below (painted in the Ambar Alley) is up for grabs now by uploading a pic from Ambar Nightclub on Instagram with #AmbarNightclub  

Lastly the Reneged of Rhythm Tour which is less than a month away! Perth fans are in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience when turntablists supreme, DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist, celebrate the legacy of hip-hop vanguard and Universal Zulu Nation founder, Afrika Bambaataa. This vinyl-only tour will see the two maestros utilize 6 decks and real-time effects to honour Bambaataa’s influence on hip-hop’s beginnings through handpicked selections, all taken from his original and highly influential record collection.

St Jerome’s Laneway Festival 2015

1. FKA TWIGS

FKA TWIGS is one of the biggest names projected around the world in 2014, she’s signed with independent label Young Turks who released her debut album LP1. As a multi talented artist combing singing, songwriting, producing, dancing and directing she Is defiantly one to provide a full performance using all these elements to make sure you will never forget it.

2. CARIBOU

CARIBOU AKA Daniel Snaith is a multi genre crossing mastermind. Hes being performing in the electronic genre under the name Caribou since 2005 and before that in 2001 as Manitoba, With a break in-between with another project Daphni in 2012. From my personal love of him and seeing his live performances before Caribou’s show will be one not too miss.

3. BANKS

BANKS is a goddess so no wonder why thats why her debut album was titled it as well. With her soulful lyrics somewhat i would compare to dark R&B, her performance I guess would be as emotional and in depth as tracks you would hear on her album. This for me would be another artist to see due to the sheer presence and message she projects when performing.

4. JON HOPKINS

JON HOPKINS is a talented artist and a phenomenal producer. His approach to creating tracks is somewhat poetic, in not creating something that is perfect. Rather he creates music that is organic and sometimes irregular. This alone is the only reason you need to see him perform as he in 100% an artist and devoted to his music.

5. SEEKAE

SEEKAE the Sydney based trio who have pushed and destroyed the boundaries with there musical talents. Seekae are another group of artists who cross different genres to create something new that is rarely heard in the mainstream market. There latest album The Worry 2014, which has an erie yet sensual vibe to all the tracks makes this another act I’m looking forward to performing.
