Recorded for PLF's annual NYE Fundraiser Decemberween! 
Lots of love and credit to Luciole Liberation, LLC for providing me with the first 3 tunes to set the mood to my set. It felt so good to play Bensley's remix of Camo and Krooked's Original "Heat of the Moment" and from there the adventure moved on!

PLF Decemberween 2020

For fans of acclaimed Perth wordsmith Mathas, the last four years have been a quiet time. Tumbleweeds-through-a-ghost-town kinda quiet. His writing periods seem to go on forever, his releases miles apart. But for anyone who understands the study and depth that goes into writing a single Mathas song, they’re willing to wait. Mathas has always presented quality over quantity, as clichéd as that rings out on paper.

Mathas tends to create conversation starters instead of hard-edged declarative mic-drop moments of finality. His new single Airing Out, however, delivers a touch more directness than you may expect from him.

Airing Out is the first solo single Mathas has released in four years, since the drop and subsequent remix project for his song Bravo Troll in 2016.

In his own words:
“What started as a comedic and autobiographical song about frustrations with my own artistic process ended up as a rant of sorts about how tiresome a lot of the language and humour in rap music has become. I don’t believe in dismissing past art & humour because the world’s changing, nor do I have any arrogant illusions of my own authority in speaking about hip hop from any other country. I do however think it's important for me, in my birthplace, to speak on adjusting our present and future behaviour in support of voices calling for that necessary evolution to happen. We can mouthpiece about being progressive and anti-establishment all we want, but oppressed groups, en masse, are asking for support and we’re still using them as punch-line fodder.”

Airing Out
