New DJANDJAY out now 😤 https://bakerboy.lnk.to/DJANDJAY

With the release of Baker Boy’s new album 'DJANDJAY' (pron. Jan-jay) out now, the multi-award winning Yolŋu superstar, also unveils brand-new single ’RUNNING LOW’ featuring US Rapper Pardyalone. A track that floats on an infectious, melodic hook but carries a deeper weight underneath of burnout, grief, and distance from home. “I was talking about being on the road, the pressure to create - but also the sacrifice of living away from community, of missing funerals and carrying that weight,” Baker Boy says. “It was a favourite from the demo, originally, I sang the hook, but bringing in Pardyalone gave it this crazy energy. His voice just hits.”

Sonically, Baker Boy boldly leans into punk for the first time, while still rapping in his first language Yolŋu Matha. Lyrically, Baker Boy channels his anger and frustration into vivid declarations of pride through powerful bars that mirror the colours and symbolism of the Aboriginal flag; “My pigment is my pride...red dirt, gold chains, blak knight, thick skin”.
 
Following the acclaim of his 5 x ARIA Award-winning debut album ‘Gela’, including Album Of The Year, ‘DJANDJAY’ is Baker Boy’s most emotionally layered and creatively evolved work yet. Named in honour of his late grandmother, ‘DJANDJAY’ also pays homage to the Yolŋu spiritual figure of the same name: a guiding octopus spirit that leads souls forward.

The 14-track ‘DJANDJAY’ album will include previously released singles ’THICK SKIN’, ‘PEACEKEEPER’, ‘FREAK OUT feat. Briggs and Haiku Hands’, ‘LIGHTNING’ feat. REDD. and will also include features from friends and collaborators Pardyalone (US), and Jean Deaux (US).

Rainbow Serpent Festival has come a long over the years. From a small gathering in a secluded clearing, to an internationally recongnised, multifaceted weekend of dance, colour, expression and celebration. People now travel from all over the world to Western Victoria to experience what some have said is the best outdoor festival of it’s type in the Southern Hemisphere.

For many of the 10,000 plus people that attend each year, Rainbow has become an institution, and annual reunion, a marker in the year that’s looked forward to for months in advance. For others it’s a fresh discovery of opportunity and escapism, a chance to connect with like minded individuals and to celebrate nature, community and harmony. Perhaps the continued success of Rainbow can be accredited to the broad experiences and opportunities on offer.

No longer just an electronic music festival these days you can expect to experience a unique combination of music, art, performance, spiritual education, relaxation and healing. "While dancing their Dreamings, aborigines spiritually connect themselves to the land and to the Dreamtime. The drumming of feet during the dance draws the earth into dialogue with the dancers, allowing the ceremony to bring the power of the Dreaming to life." The name Rainbow Serpent is distinctly Australian, coming from the Dreamtime creation story told by the traditional owners of the land. Dreamtime stories often vary between aboriginal tribes, however the story of the Rainbow Serpent is special as it is one of the few common to all. The Rainbow Serpent is protector of the land, and the source of all life.

Music has always been a highlight of Rainbow. From the early trance days to the broader musical style of today, one thing Rainbow has never compromised on is the quality of it's acts. With world class décor, roving artistic performances, crazy activities you cant imagine a more exotic sensory mix spread over four days. Put simply if you’ve never been to the Rainbow Serpent Festival, now is the time to buy a tent and call your friends.
