Yoruba Records has been a force in the dance music scene since its first release in 1999. Operated by acclaimed artist, producer Osunlade. Yoruba was founded on the ideals of the beliefs of Ifa and has given us some of the most consistent and diverse music ranging from deep house to soulful jazz. The focus is always great song writing and uncompromising production. Although dance has been its core in the past, the label has stretched out and experimented with jazz, soul and alternative electronic releases. Still considered the go to label for simply good music, Yoruba has survived and transformed as the times change. With an array of artists offering completely different styles, Yoruba is about integrity. From conception, the label’s spiritual connection has been its priority. Guided by the energies and vibrations allowing ones passion to create not only classics but honest music that reflect the soul of each artist. With more than 300 releases we continue to push the boundaries within ourselves and hope the music follows suit.

This is a space where I can explore and share all the different shades of my musicality with you. Love x

Founded by Melbourne drummer and songwriter Jeremy Schiftan, 9-piece Dub/Reggae outfit Echo Drama are a unique combination of ingredients that transcend their genre labels. A sound that is at once steeped in the traditions of Dub and Reggae but unafraid to draw on a myriad of influences from unexpected musical counterparts. 

“The dynamism of Melbourne nine-piece, Echo Drama is a thing of wonder. A downright dreamy combination of traditional reggae and contemporary hip-hop and RnB will have you hooked within mere moments of your first listening. ” - AU Review

In 8 years of existence the band has developed a refined live show performing regularly across local stages, residencies, festival appearances and international supports with highlights such as Easy Star All Stars (USA), The Skatalites (Jamaica), Maxi Priest (UK), Womadelaide, St Kilda Festival - Main Stage, NYE On The Hill, Strawberry Fields, Rainbow Serpent, The Hills Are Alive, Psyfari, Island Vibe Festival, Blenheim Fest and Folk Rhythm & Life.

“Echo Drama play a seamless melding of hip hop and reggae that conveys a pure, grooving happiness…it is impossible not to dance and sway to the infectious music” –Tone Deaf

In 2019 the band released their anticipated debut full length album “Before It All Ends”. The mammoth 14 track record was the follow up to the band's 2014 EP “Bury The Weapons” and was patiently produced over three years, ensuring every detail was just as the band had intended. This is an album of Dub in many flavours and a reminder that Echo Drama are making music unlike any other act on our shores. November of 2019 saw this feat recognised with the honour of Music Victoria's award for Best Reggae and Dancehall Act.

“While respectfully doffing their various bits of headgear to those who came before them, Dub/Reggae juggernaut Echo Drama have prioritised good music over pigeon holes in a band where the musical influences are almost as diverse as its audience appeal” - Beat Magazine

Celeste Evelyn is an artist/singer-songwriter born from the wild and fertile coastal soil of Tasmania, honing an original sound that borrows from roots, soul, folk and alt-rock, yet strays into realms of a genre undefinable. An earth-spun songstress with provoking lyrics, emotive melodies, and a focus on the depth and colour available to our human experience that can be found through rhythm and melody.

Inspired by 60s and 70s folk-rock as a bedrock in supporting her love for the genius of songwriting and production gone by, while the primitive force of her own craft expands into maverick creations and modern-day musings. 

Either as a solo performer, accentuating the nuances and control of her voice with ethereal electric guitar, or with her band of 4, filling out the songs with ambient keys, balanced drums, compelling bass lines and sparkling harmonies. She’s supported acts such as Mojo Juju, Gordi, Stonefield, and Chase City.
After enough dreaming about it, she released her debut 7 track EP, ‘Sun Borne’ in 2019. Recorded at Reel to Reel Studios, the body of work touches on themes of rites of passage, through a coming of age and letting go in order to gain and grow.
