Australia’s hottest new national hip hop festival is here - Australia, meet HeatWave. Originating in South Australia where they burst upon the scene last year with Xzibit headlining their debut event, 2012 see’s Heatwave Festival go national. Exclusive to Heatwave, organisers have just made the announcement that headlining this year’s festival will be chart smashing US rapper Kid Cudi, known for his hit’s Memories with David Guetta, Pursuit of Happiness with MGMT, Erase Me with Kanye West as well as his own Day n’ Nite. Kid Cudi joins the already announced Tech N9ne, D12, Obie Trice and CrazyTown. Heatwave are also proud to announce, that in his first ever trip to Australia, Chamillionaire will be playing all Heatwave shows nationally. He won a grammy for Ridin Dirty with Krazie Bone, has charted in Australia, had Weird Al parody him and sold millions of records. But now he’s on his way to Australia, and once again - it’s exclusively for Heatwave!

The Line Up
As aforementioned, Kid Cudi will be joined @ Heatwave by Detroit superstars D12 and Obie Trice, whom fans are eager to see after the recent historical Australian EMINEM shows. D12 will be smashing the stage with hits like “My Band”, “Purple Pills”, “Fight Music” and “40 Oz”.

Obie Trice will also be bringing his wild Detroit bred style to the HeatWave Festival, as the former Shady Records artist looks to both bring down the stage with hits like “Got Some Teeth”, “Snitch with Akon” – and showcase his new record “Bottoms Up”.

Adding more heat to the wave is Kansas City king Tech N9ne, famous for his mind blowing live show, selling 1.8 million records independently and his electric fast rapping. Fan favorite Tech N9ne broke into the mainstream with a twist in 2011 and has spent a year topping the charts, collaborating with the likes of Snoop Dogg as well as featuring on Lil Wayne’s multi-platinum “Carter 3” record. And get ready Australia cause Tech N9ne is bringing some surprise guests with him too.


Switching it up a little is CrazyTown. Since shooting to international fame with their smash track ‘Butterfly’, still receiving heavy airplay all across the world today and sitting at nearly 7 million views on youtube (click here to view) and its accompanying 2001 #1 album in 2001 - Shifty’s band is back and set to rock something special for everybody as they embark on one of their first international tours in years.


The Festival
A festival just wouldn’t be something to remember without a bit extra for the fans and one of HeatWave’s main point of difference’s is thier VIP packages, packages like you’ve never seen before. Proper meet n’ greets with your favorite acts, autographs and much more. Check it all out at www.heatwavefestival.com

DAS RACIST
... just relax!


Brooklyn's finest weed edge/hare krishna hard core/art rap/freak folk music trio take on the fake patois boldly baking their Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and new civilizations where Michael Jackson has gone before. A million dollars. You feel me?



After their recent 30 date US tour to “impregnate America with pop-art rap stylings/next-level street literature” and launch new album Relax with friends Danny Brown and Despot... they cruise the cobblestones of Europe for the coming month before taking a plunge into the great southern cultural cornucopia that is Australia. Having beamed up for the 2012 Big Day Out Das Racist venture into deeper quarters as this white guilt art project/science experiment/ponzi scheme piloted by @heems, KOOL A.D. and The Honorable Prophet Dapwell up the spice and down the strip with some extra cool club shows.


Das Racist follow the "top-shelf wiseassery and sneaky political incisiveness" of last year's mixtapes Sit Down, Man and Shut up, Dude and raise the roof of your mouths with Relax lead track Michael Jackson and its whacked out video. Relax was produced with a mixed bag of collaborators including Diplo, El-P, Yeasayer's Anand Wilder and Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij... and is out on Hima's own Greedhead label.

DAS RACIST
With an origin going back to their time spent living in a “Students of Color for Social Justice”-themed dorm, Das Racist’s meeting seems like destiny. While MCs Victor Vazquez and Himanshu Suri met years earlier, 2008 would be the year that they would come to the attention of the music world after their strangely catchy song “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” became a YouTube hit. Teamed up with their hype man, Dap (aka Ashok Kondabolu), the Brooklyn group has a style that both satirizes and reveres hip-hop, combining druggy nonsense, social commentary, and obscure pop culture references into one boldly self-aware package. In 2010, the group self-released two mixtapes, Shut Up, Dude and Sit Down, Man, with the latter issued in association with the Mad Decent label and featuring a song with production by tastemaker and label head Diplo. Soon after, Das Racist announced they would release their debut full-length, Relax, on Greedhead Music, a label imprint run by Himanshu Suri. Relax arrived in September of 2011.

M83

November 14th 2011 21:24
Hot ticket alert. M83’s new lp Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is a sure contender for the Album of The Year. It’s an ambitious, sprawling, epic 22-track double album and it’s outstanding. We were massive fans of French electronic dream-pop artist Anthony Gonzales’ last album, Saturdays = Youth, but this is next level. Get it, put it on, turn it up and then grab tickets to one of the most anticipated gigs of the year.

“A riot of stadium-epic power drums, synth choruses set to Kate Bush and a runaway sax cut from Cut Copy’s cloth combine to excellent effect” – NME

“High-impact, dizzying synth-pop epic… Born on a vapour trail of dancefloor abandonement, it’s pure, digitized MDMA” – Time Out

9.1/10 (Best New Music) "The best M83 record yet" – Pitchfork

Presented by Pedestrian, FBi and Triple R

Rabbit Hole

October 2nd 2011 04:13

Director: John Cameron Mitchell
Lead Cast: Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart and Dianne Wiest


Grief is difficult. It doesn’t matter which way you look at it, and by degrees it doesn’t matter what the grief is about – it waits around until there is a moment when it seems less like grief and more like a memory. I doubt you ever really get over anything that causes grief.

Rabbit Hole is a simple film that follows a husband and wife through par of their grieving after the loss of a young son who has been run over chasing his dog into the street. It is a gentle movie. The complexity of the script is quite brilliant on some levels, for example there is a slow emotional burn of the man (Aaron Eckhart) and woman (Nicole Kidman) who have lost their son as they deal with mundane realities.

Do they keep his bedroom as it was? Do they get rid of the treasured dog that he ran out into the street after? It is all very painful to watch at times, but as they come around to accepting that there must be a future beyond the sadness and loss they feel, it becomes happy in a way. Happy in the sense that it shows there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The film is not too long and is paced well enough so as not to get too turgid. Performances from the lead cast are all extremely good. Nicole Kidman as the wife/mother does a fine job and Dianne Wiest as her mother who has also lost a son under different circumstances is quite lovely to watch. Aaron Eckhart continues to impress with his mixture of sensitivity and masculinity.




It is not likely to be the sort of film people rush off to see because it is after all quite a sad thing, but if you have been feeling down and out this could bring you some hope in so much as it shows the simple and gradual way people take back their lives without falling into the traps that seem quite a cliché – a dalliance outside of the norm for both the husband and the wife do not lead to an inevitable marriage breakdown or great angst.

There are moments where you will understand that loss – be it in the form of a child, a good friend or even a time in your life when things were very different ultimately shares a lot of space shape-wise on the emotional landscape, and this unassuming little film may bring a touch of comfort to your heart in that process.

‘BACK TO BASICS’

vol 1

"As I prepare to release my third album Deep Impressions, I put together this mix to share some of the music that had made an impression on me over my 20 years of collecting. I have drawn extensively from this resource in the creating of my own music, as have many that have gone before me. This is a collection of tunes that have been used in the creative process to make what we know as hip hop. Many of the songs are themselves classics that have a beautiful and still poignant message and vibe. Others contain fleeting moments of beauty that have been captured and reinterpreted to make modern day classics.

Apart form a few sneaky edits (to highlight the moments used by some of the best producers to have turned on a sampler) the tunes are as they appear on the original wax.

This series is dedicated to one of my music inspirations and heroes The Left Rev Eugene McDaniel's who passed away 29th July 2011. If your reading this and don’t know who the great man was, do yourself a favour and get familiar! This is Part 1.... more in the series to follow so stay tuned."

Adelaide Cinematheque

July 29th 2011 01:49

Adelaide 2011 Cinematheque (Season 2)

A must for all cinephiles, launches on Monday 8 August, 7.30pm at the Mercury Cinema with an unmissable screening of 1945 romantic classic Les Enfants Du Paradis (Children of Paradise).

The Cinematheque is dedicated to screening significant films from the history of cinema and this year's program includes a diverse range of classic and contemporary films showcasing directors, actors and thematic series.

Set among the Parisian theatre scene, Marcel Carne's Les Enfants Du Paradis is a tragic tale of the beautiful courtesan Garance and the four men who love her.

Other Season 2 highlights include Terrence Malick: The Restless Search for Epiphany. In the wake of Terrence Malick's recent release, Tree of Life, this season will feature a selection of his haunting and abstract films, including his 1973 debut Badlands and the 2006 retelling of Pocahontas, The New World, starring Christian Bale and Colin Farrell.

Lovers of Australian film were saddened by news of the demise earlier this year of iconic Australian actor Bill Hunter. The Australian Everyman: Bill Hunter pays tribute to the celebrated actor who appeared in more than 60 films. The season features Peter Weir's emblematic Gallipoli (1981), Philip Noyce's Newsfront (1978), Craig Lahiff's Fever (1988) and the unforgettable 1994 comedy Muriel's Wedding (PJ Hogan).

A celebration of one of the most recognisable and irresistible cinematic genres, Dark Seduction: Film Noir's Bad Girls looks at the sultry temptresses whose charms would seduce a man into committing unheard of crimes. Don't miss Robert Siodmak's murderous and beautiful love story The Killers (1946), based on a Ernest Hemingway story and starring Ava Gardner and Burt Lancaster or Orson Wells' enthralling 1947 mystery, Lady From Shanghai.

The 80s Brat Pack, a program of 80s cult classics includes John Hughes widely loved 1985 comedy The Breakfast Club and Joel Schumacher's St Elmo's Fire (1985).

Breakfast Club
The 2011 Cinematheque season finishes with a special Christmas Screening of Joe Dante's 1984 comic horror cult classic Gremlins.

At the end of selected sessions, members are invited to join Mercury staff and volunteers for a complimentary drink after the movie, thanks to Barossa Valley Brewing. Stay and chat about your favourite actors, auteurs, scenes and themes, talk about what you loved and didn't love and what you want to see more of on the big screen at Cinematheque.

The full Season 2 program is available at: mercurycinema.org.au Screenings are only available to society members, but anyone can join and becoming a member is easy and great value. Sign up on the spot at any Ten News Adelaide Cinematheque session or phone 8410 0979.

Global event September 5

Freddie For A Day celebrations on September 5 to commemorate Freddie Mercury's 65th birthday

QUEEN: FINAL FIVE ALBUMS RE-ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 2
1984-1995: THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Between 1984 and 1995 Queen released their last five studio albums and consolidated their reputation as the biggest, brashest and boldest band in the world. They achieved legendary status as they delivered THE defining performance of the century at Live Aid as well as headlining massive stadium concerts all over the world. Queen also released some of their best loved and most anthemic work in this period, before and after the passing of Freddie Mercury in 1991.

Now in 2011 Island Records reissue the five Queen albums from this period on September 2nd (to coincide with what would have been Freddie Mercury’s 65th birthday – on 5th Sept) as part of the band’s 40th Anniversary celebrations – ‘The Works’, ‘A Kind Of Magic’, ‘The Miracle’, ‘Innuendo’ and ‘Made In Heaven’. The reissues will be accompanied by the third in the ‘Queen: Deep Cuts’ series, which looks at some of the lesser known tracks from these albums.

Many Queen favourites were released during this period including ‘Radio Gaga’ (the track from which Lady Gaga took her name), ‘I Want To Break Free’ (complete with the infamous cross-dressing Coronation Street parody video that MTV banned in the US), ‘One Vision’, ‘A Kind of Magic’, ‘I Want It All’, ‘The Miracle’ and ‘These Are The Days of Our Lives’ (featuring Freddie’s final haunting video appearance).

These five albums cover the era when Queen were elevated to truly legendary status as they stole the show at Live Aid in front of a global TV audience of 1.9 billion people, and wowed audiences with subsequent headline shows at Knebworth and Wembley in 1986, the latter recently voted by the public as one of the most iconic events ever seen at the stadium. This was also Queen’s most consistent period of commercial success with each of the five albums going platinum in the UK and ‘A Kind of Magic’ and ‘Made in Heaven’ each selling over 1 million copies, the latter doing so four years after Freddie’s death showing that the Queen legacy reigns eternal.

As well as their huge UK gigs they continued the global domination of the late 70’s playing Rock in Rio twice to crowds of over 300,000 each time. On their subsequent Magic tour they sold over 1 million tickets around the world playing the first ever stadium gig in Eastern Europe at the Nepstadium in Budapest with fans hitchhiking from all over the Eastern Bloc to attend.

After Freddie’s death The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert saw a packed Wembley set alight again to the music of Queen once again in April 1992, with stars from all over the world joining Queen surviving members John Deacon, Brian May and Roger Taylor on stage. Subsequently The Mercury Phoenix Trust was founded to help distribute money raised from this concert for AIDS awareness. Since then, the Trust has raised and distributed over $15 million to help in the fight against AIDS.

The charity has just created a truly unique initiative with the launch of the 'Freddie For A Day' Global Charity Network. Freddie For A Day will be held on September 5th 2011. It’s an annual, worldwide event which falls around Mercury’s birthday date and is a fun way to remember one of the greatest artists of our time. But behind it is the earnest purpose of raising funds to support the continued work in fighting HIV AIDS worldwide.

Those wanting to be involved should dress up as Freddie on September 5 and get their friends, family, school friends or work colleagues to sponsor them – see FreddieForADay.com.au.

Queens 40th Anniversary year has kicked off in spectacular style so far with their first ever major exhibition 'Stormtroopers in Stilettos' in London’s East End which drew an incredible crowd of over 20,000 visitors in two weeks, and kicked off with a star studded launch party attended by the likes of Foo Fighters and Jessie J.

A recent two part BBC TV documentary drew widespread rave reviews as Brian May and Roger Taylor looked back over their first 40 years in detail for the first time. The Guardian described it as ‘fantastic and moving’.

Meanwhile the bands first ten albums have been reissued to considerable acclaim. The Telegraph said of their early work, 'Queen's greatest music was extravagantly innovative, technically brilliant and created with a jeweller's care.’

These last five studio albums highlight the diverse talent, musical ambition and global success of a band made up of some of the best songwriters, musicians and performers of all time.

As ONE DAY surfs up the radio and net waves further new tracks will rise with the coming tide of new album SUPERHAPPYFUNTIMESFRIENDS

Out of the great wide blue the guys have now dropped an album's worth of dynamic material all forthcoming over the next month or so on digital, vinyl, cassette, CD and even Playbutton. Shacked up in their Melbourne dwellings and put together in the midst of a enforced creative blizzard... it seems the concept of the album was not without value still as it afforded the more focused structure and disciplined approach they seem to require. Ahhh... the frenzy of an an artistic tempest whipped up by the wild seas of a deadline - all comes now pieced together under the title SUPERHAPPYFUNTIMEFRIENDS.

REGURGITATOR CRUISE
Also of note... Regurgitator's "UNIT" was not only recently voted #13 on the industry voted Triple J TOP 100 Australian albums... but has now come in at #10 on the public voted campaign... with Tu Plang at #44.


Regurgitator's live soundtrack performance of Akira at the Sydney Opera House Graphic event last year has been nominated for two Helpmann awards - Best Australian Contemporary Concert and Best Original Score.
