There’s few more talented musicians in Melbourne than Rhath. Producer, Rapper, Guitarist, Sound Engineer, the list goes on and on. We first met at a Bar Oussou open mic, where we connected on each other’s music. Not long after, we were at my place, collaborating on beats he’d made with FCK. His industrial, apocalyptic sense for sound is an immediate draw-card for me. He pulls no punches with his production and his lyricism, and he’s here to say something important.
When he approached me for this collab, we were deep into our work together with Vibe Union, and he wanted to make a song that captured the madness of trying to create during the nuclear fuck-storm of a year we were having. I was working on my (still in-progress) isolation EP at the time and was getting real frustrated with the kind of stuff I was coming up with. The beat and the concept immediately struck me and I knew I had to channel that same frenetic, pent-up energy that I’d been pouring into countless games of Rocket League. I really let my insanity run loose on this one. Rhath and I have always enjoyed playing counter-characters on songs we do together, and this one really has a great tone to it. Have a listen below and let me know what you think!
Oh… by the way… there’s a full music video coming out for this soon…
