73 'till Infinity - New Thursday night in Sydney
/
Contrary to previous musings on the Sydney underground dance, electronic and hip hop scene, it has not vanished, there are still plenty of great nights and places for good music to be heard.
A few newcomers have also been making a splash, in particular Astral People who have very quickly gone from taking a risk on expensive underground DJs from overseas along with new local faces, to putting on a sold out mini festival, OutsideIn, attended by Thom York.
More importantly Lioness (disclosure: they are friends of mine), who have put on a few great parties including Funkineven, Mark De Clive Lowe and Pablo Valentino have started a weekly Thursday night event in conjunction with Soul Of Sydney at Martini Bar featuring hip hop, soul, beats, pretty much anything.
The night is called 73 'till infinity.
I’ll be dropping some tracks there this week along with Edseven. And the following week you can hear Rap Radio podcast guy and avid music man Br0ke drop some dopeness
With this in mind, I thought I’d pick 5 newer tracks I’ve been digging recently that may get a spin and hopefully we’ll get the guest DJs to do this each week for this blog.
Check Lioness Presents and the Facebook event page for 73 'til infinity.
Game Feat Kendrick Lamar and Scarface - Murder
To be honest, I don’t even know if I’ve ever heard a Game (or The Game) track before. I saw him on Oprah once, he seemed strange. I love the production, the verses are quality and Scarface!
Roc Marciano - Emeralds
Reloaded is a great album and surprisingly my favourite tracks are actually the ones Marciano produced himself, not being a fan of the beats on Marcberg. This wouldn’t be my favourite track from the album but it’s definitely the best fit for 73 'till.
Angel Haze - New York
I don’t know if she’s the next big thing or the next big disappointment but this track is dope; there’s definitely a Missy/Timbaland-in-their-prime vibe here without being a clone. Check out the mixtape/download this track is from, Reservation.
