gigs

Percussion Junction is a four piece that mixes traditional percussion and drums with modern beats that range from global to breaks, hip-hop and funk to house and electro. They played last night in Armidale as part of the Amnesty International Freedom Festival. A reviewer discribes then as an "infectious tribal blend of electro house and funky break beat."
They went off, awesome set with drums all over the place. very impressive percussion with a mass energy level.

Formed in 1992, Koolism comprises of a world-class DJ (apprently a regular judge for all the major DJ competitions) and an equally as impressive MC, KOOLISM is the "visionary collaboration" between DJ DanielSan and MC Hau - and they make an exceptional duo.

"Koolism is the standard-bearer of Australian hip-hop. Though it can throw down the funk live like the Roots, Koolism's strength is that it sounds like a hot summer's breeze, with nimble, laid-back rhymes and dub-heavy beats"- NEW YORK TIMES January 2003
Hot damn that was some nice scratching going on there. DanielSan was on fire. just awesome stuff. if you get the chance go see them live, some fun, funky and fresh hip hop.
