Close Counters x Maddy Jane - Ronnie

Pretty Lights - Around The Block (Close Counters Remix ft. Promise)

Fresh Melbourne artist TURBO CHOOK, (AKA Allan McConnell), readies his crisp new track ‘Rushing’, teaming up with multiple award-winning hip-hop artist Cruz Patterson from Fremantle, WA. 

Named after the famous flightless Tasmanian Nativehen, which can run up to 40kmph, TURBO CHOOK exposes a new side of McConnell’s musicianship (following his success as half of the house and soul duo Close Counters, who gained support from tastemakers Indie Shuffle, Clash Mag, XLR8R, NME, Mixmag, Pilerats, EARMILK, Stoney Roads, Gilles Peterson, to name a few). Close Counters cemented their status as one of Australia’s hottest house and soul exports with their diverse soundscape at the crossroads of house, neo-soul, hip-hop and disco. 

Similarly, Cruz holds a string of successful solo singles in his repertoire, such as the song ‘Venice’, produced by Tame Impala, and other collaborations including ShockOne and SuperEgo. Notably known as the frontman of the acclaimed group Koi Child, Cruz toured Australia prolifically with Tame Impala & Fat Freddy’s Drop, playing at festivals, international tours, and receiving a nomination for an ARIA Award for ‘Best Urban Album’, as well as acclaim from Beats 1, Triple J, BBC Radio 1 & more.

Described by Patterson as “a hip hop track that ever so slightly nudges the boundaries of the genre with its fast paced tempo and out of the ordinary story telling”, ‘Rushing’ recalls the night of the ARIA Music Awards, when Cruz’s drink was spiked. When TURBO CHOOK sent him the instrumentals, he felt they perfectly depicted the feeling of being unknowingly drugged: “I was rushing, kinda trippy, like time was spinning in circles around me”. Despite being characterised by a consistent and pressing groove, the track is painted with liquid tones which depict an enticing identity for the song. With Cruz’s storytelling and TURBO CHOOK’s skillful musical craftsmanship, the audience is encouraged to hear something new and refreshing with every listen.
