“The completely insane genre blending is all Koi Child. Nice work, gang”
– BBC Radio
 
“Sick flow and dirty production that sounds like nobody else in the biz right now”
– Stacy Gougoulis, triple j
 
“Neck-snapping linguistic battles untangled at every opportunity by the experimental jazz jam contingent. It's a merging that recalls the freedom of The Roots 'Illadelph Halflife' era soul/rap”
– Rolling Stone

By now, the breezy port of Fremantle, WA has a reputation for birthing some of the worlds’ best alternative music. Enter Koi Child, the combined forces of local hip-hop party starters Childs Play, nu-jazz quartet Kashikoi, the brains behind the smooth as silk debut single Slow One & the riotous new offering Black Panda, both of which produced by Kevin Parker (Tame Impala). 

Since the single dropped in April, Black Panda has been played on BBC Radio 6, triple j, double j, and community radio across Australia, on top of a massive show at the Groove In The Moo Festival.
 
“It started with me beat boxing that fat bass line, Tom heard it and within seconds had the synth replicating the sound I was making. A few days later the band was on a break and Tom busted out that same bass line. Before we knew it the whole band had walked back in to join the jam, I busted some spare rhymes I had and we all lost our shit at the obesity of the track we’d made. What started as a piss take jam, turned out to be a fricken monster!” - Koi Child vocalist Shannon Patterson on Black Panda’s creation.
 
The 7 piece have already had a seriously busy first year of formation, supporting Tame Impala at Rottnest Island for Koi Child’s second gig, where The Music says they "managed to get a completely sedated crowd on their feet and grooving" and "genuinely felt like a band who'd been kicking around for years”.
 
As comfortable on stage with NY rap punks Ratking, as they would be with modern soul stars like D'Angelo, combine that with the magic aural touch of Kevin Parker, and you've got something worth paying attention too.
 
Koi Child are one of the most promising up-and-coming collectives in Australian music!

People  Under  the  Stairs  have  excused  themselves  from  modern  hip  hop.  “We  are  not  MC’s, Producers, or DJ’s” Double K explains, “we are B-boys, and we do all of that naturally”.  Together, both members dig for records, produce the beats, rap, scratch, engineer, design the artwork and construct the albums, and in doing so, present some of the most personal music available in hip hop.
