Melbourne/Naarm based hip hop artist Requiem has swapped his hoody for an astronaut suit. After years of creating critically acclaimed music, his latest release is a song about love, loss and travelling to a new dimension through a black hole.

Inspired by the sci-fi cinema of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and Nolan’s Interstellar, and the temporary nature of relationships, Transient tells the tale of an astronaut’s existential thoughts as they’re spaghettified in a supermassive black hole somewhere in deep space.

The new single features the other-worldly harmonies of Alice Springs/Mparntwe based award-winning producer/songwriter Resin Moon and brooding, atmospheric production from Sydney/Gadigal Country based producer HFNR aka Hugh Lake.

Entering the scene in the mid-2000’s, Melbourne hip hop artist Requiem’s music grapples with topics like growing older, finding love, and chasing your dreams.

Moving to Darwin at 24 gave Requiem the space to grow as both a musician and a person, and he released his acclaimed debut album Louvres in 2015. 

A return to Melbourne led to the release a string of singles that were built around life experiences, working with the likes Cam Bluff, Poncho, I AM D and HNFR.

His new single, Backstroke, is an uplifting track that’s produced by Melbourne beatmaker Hamley. From the Top End of Australia to Melbourne, Requiem’s got a lot to say, and he’s ready to lay it all on the line in 2021.
