The Surecut Kids

Credit goes out to my friend James for putting us onto this one. I never realized just how ‘hip hop’ soft drinks were until now!!

Holla, holla… and Hollaaaa! You know summertime is just around the corner when all the festivals start popping up! We played at this one last year and it was a really fun day. In fact so much fun that i got a little bit worked up and did a backflip off the stage! Bouncers didnt even seem to mind! (nice one!!)
This year they’ve added another stage and it’s looking like being a kickass day already Get your tickets sorted and we’ll see you there!

Oh and here’s our clip from last year – Caution: contains massive amounts of air-drumming and jumping! Good times!!

Vassuuuuuuup?!  Got a little nugget of goodness for you here if you are the type of person who likes your club tunes with a hint of hip hop. Bird Peterson has been giving away a free track per day over on his blog. There’s some oldies on there, some new joints, and there’s even some unreleased stuff… I had a sniff through and there seems to be a fair bit of slammin electro which isn’t massively my thing but still some of it was just too good to not download. But the real gems for me were these two…. I love a good club edit of a hip hop track so these had me foaming at the mouth.

‘The Jump Off’ is an amazing bassline remix of the classic Wu Tang Clan song. Guaranteed to tip the party into overdrive! And ‘Chuck The Deuce’ is catchy as hell and totally a great idea, but in my opinion the vocal gets a bit repetitive after a while so im working on a remix/edit now to try and take it even further. If it ends up turning out ok i’ll post it up here.

Anyways, get over to his blog and check out all the goodness!!

Oh! One last thing!! When you’re playing ‘Chuck The Deuce’ loudly and dancing around to it, may i suggest that you rap along with it but change the lyrics from “I got them diamonds in my mouth” to “I got vaginas in my mouth” ….. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.

Yooooooooooooooo! Good evening to you! Ok so it’s that time of year when the teeth of winter are well and truly sunk in and you cant help but think about tropical holidays in warmer climates. As it turns out, Benji is going to just such a destination next week! We will have one last feature night together this Saturday at Fampire and then thats it until Parklife. Whoa! First time we’ve ever spent time apart! It’s gonna be crazy!! I’m gonna leave the toilet seat up and go on a riverboat gambling cruise etc hahaha!… Bada-bing!

Anyhoo, come wamp out with us at the top floor of Family this weekend – its always beyond crazy up there – and then we will see you for another world-ender at Parklife. Boomshalakalaka!

Our main man Cutloose AKA ‘Vampire Wookie’ AKA ‘Spirit-Fingers’ AKA ‘The Man With The Million Dollar Perm’ is back with another red hot mix. If you’re into your Glitch-hop, this one will have you jizzing lightning!  Cut has taken a real shining to this genre over the last few years, and in my opinion he is at the forefront of this particular sound in Australia (besides being a dab-hand at whatever other style he touches) so much so that he’s made a whole album of glitchy bangers which is soon to be released on D-Fault records. But for now check out this mix, if this doesn’t get you pulling the stinky-face i dont know what will!

Hey friends. If you live on the Gold Coast, you’ll no doubt know that this friday is a public holiday. That means your weekend starts on Thursday night and there’s no reason for you to miss out on the partyness thats about to happen.

We will be playing at Platinum’s 6th birthday party – its set to be HUGE! They’ve been kind enough to let us have our way with the ‘Pure Lounge’ which is the rad little side room. We plan to turn it upside down so get your ass there and let’s shake it down!

It just so happened to be that Tribe Called Quest were playing there first ever show in Sydney while we were in town also playing some shows, We snapped up some tickets and it was AMAZING!! Check it out for yourselves, the place was rammed but not to heavy. So glad we forked out the cash for this one.

Happy weekend! And if you live in Mackay, this one’s for you. We are playing at Code nightclub’s 1st birthday. We had such a great time up there at the River Sessions festival recently that we jumped at the chance to get back up there and stink the place up. If you live up that way, it’s time you put on your comfy shoes and “leave it all on the dancefloor”. See you there!!

Even though its the teeth of winter, we still get a lot of really nice beach days here on the Gold Coast. And nothing goes with a beach day like reggae. So it’s been awesome timing that this mixtape was recently shown to me…

Last week we had the pleasure of playing a show after Mike Who & Dj Ability at Sydney’s Dust Tones. The night was heaps of fun and these guys absolutely smashed a 4 turntable hip hop set. Massive respect! Anyways, Mike Who has mixed this killer selection of reggae and dancehall, and i gotta tell ya – IT’S FIYAAAAAH!!!!  Wait for a sunny day, put this on your ghetto blaster and go sit on the beach with your friends. Boom!

Check out this dreamy tune by Catcall … i’ve been listening to it on loop for a week now. It’s awesome! And yeah, i said “dreamy”.

This was filmed by our awesome friend Jimmy on his Iphone 4, i think he filmed it just so he could show off the fact he has a Iphone 4. My favorite part is when Snatchy our mascot gets his beer knocked out his hands from a beach ball around the 30sec mark. What a night it was!!

Check it out – A friend of ours recently used our song ‘80/20′ in this surf clip. Its a slick production too! Our song is from the 1:00 mark to 5:20…. Not the Baywatch theme at the start haha!

Hey friends, we made it home from Sydney in one piece and are now focusing on the next bunch of shows on the horizon. One in particular that is very exciting is Parklife! Definately one of our favourite days of the year, and it’s looking even better this year for us now that the venue has moved to the Gold Coast. The lineup is absolutely ridic, and we will be putting together a new 4 turntable & MPC set for the day. Looking forward to wamping out in the sunshine!! Boomshalakalaka!!

We know it’s kinda lame and a little bit of vomit comes up in our mouths when we say “Vote for Us”, bur here it is, that awkward time of year when we get judged if we’re cool or not. So Vote for us!!! (spew).
