Jon and Roy - What I Need

California Sway by Smooth Hound Smith

If you had stopped by the studio when Bye Beneco was recording its debut full-length earlier in 2014, you
would have stumbled on a scene littered with clues about what Space Elephant would eventually sound
like.
Softly sparkling fairy lights. Persian carpeting with a piling so plush you could easily sink into it. A splayed
out traditional Japanese Wagasa umbrella. And, at the heart of it all, a shrine to Mexican artist Frida
Kahlo with a dimly lit world globe as its centerpiece.
It was the perfect setting for the creation of a defiant, South African-hewn flag bearer for music that defies
easy categorisation; for an album that’s at once welcoming and inviting, and explosively experimental
and thrilling.
Those who have been following Bye Beneco since the Johannesburg-based band emerged in 2013
will know that creating a debut album that falls outside simple catch-alls like Indie-Folk or Indie-Pop is
befitting for this musical collective.
Through a growing slate of live performances (including Oppikoppi 2013) and gripping videos (“On
The Line”), Bergen Nielson (drums, guitar), Lenny-Dee Doucha (vocals, guitar), Jenny Dison (vocals,
percussion) and Matthew Watson (drums, percussion, guitar) have emerged as willing to explore sounds
and words without constraint.

Mama Kin - Was It Worth It

MAT. McHUGH & THE SEPERATISTA SOUNDSYSTEM

LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL

It’s pretty ambitious to consider recording a live album of a band that has only played a dozen shows. Capturing the essence of a live performance has managed to elude many, more seasoned acts. Mat. McHugh & The Seperatista Soundsystem have provided a glaring exception to this rule with their brand new LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL release. 

To be fair Mat. has known and played with the other members of that trio for years. Ian Pritchett (on bass) has produced every album Mat. has been involved with in the last decade and Paul Derricoot (on drums) has been a musical foil since playing on Mat’s 2008 album SEPERATISTA.

The sound of LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL is raw, soulful and real. Influenced by a broad range of genres from Hip Hop to Dub to Punk Rock. The album is a testament to the power of live music and puts forward the importance of the connection between performer and crowd.

Recorded in January 2013 across a run of summer shows in Australia,  the album features songs from Mat. McHugh’s recent LOVE COME SAVE ME LP, songs that span his prolific career as one of Australia’s most respected songwriters, as well as a mash-up of the Clash and Beats International’s Guns of Brixton/ Dub Be Good To Me. 

If this is what the band sounds like after a handful of shows the future is an exciting prospect.

LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL will be available digitally on Die Boredom / Controlled Substance Sound Labs in Australia starting June 4, 2013.

Touring July, August, September 2013, with dates and venues to be announced.

MAT McHUGH - Go Don't Stop / Is This Love (live at Random Hall)

As mischievous as she is charming, Fremantle’s Mama Kin is part raconteur and all-out entertainer. With a widespread reputation for her unique blend of foot-stomping soul, heart-wrenching ballads and stirring live shows, Mama Kin is back with a swag of new songs and a shift in sonic direction.

Her new album, The Magician’s Daughter, signals an expansion in Mama Kin’s musical palette. It ushers in a depth and potency underpinned by Mama Kin’s vocals that so spectacularly hover between vulnerability and power.

Cinematic at times, with lush arrangements and bold production, The Magician’s Daughter pushes Mama Kin’s own boundaries, challenging her trademark sound. Where her debut album Beat and Holler was a soulstress’ war cry, traversing the riotous and the raw, her sophomore album takes us deeper into the human condition, where the magic lives.
