Niche Productions are proud to present some of the world’s finest underground artists for a one off showcase of hip-hop, latin, jazz, leftfield beats, funk, soul and beyond. With talent spread over two rooms in an exciting new space fresh to the Sydney faithful this is an essential for the soul music lover’s calendar.
Saturday 24th November - Oxford Art Factory.
Ohmega Watts (Lightheaded / 4 Days In Geneva) debut album The Find, wowed industry and fans with its eclectic blending of energetic old-school rap, rough and rugged beats, and funky instrumental contributions. Hailing from Brooklyn with Jamaican heritage, the MC/producer has cited heroes and influences including Eric B, Rakim, A Tribe Called Quest and Jurassic 5 - heavyweights who cast their shadow over Ohmega's club-thumping hip-hop and soulful jazzy tunes. His all-encompassing influences also take in the likes of Quantic and Stereolab to psychedelic Brazilian rhythms but by and large he produces an honest and multitudinous sound that has industry types describing him as "one of the freshest talents to have emerged out of hip-hop's leftfield in the last five years" (Dazed & Confused, UK).
On the eve of the release of his sophomore album, Watts Happening, which is hyped as continuing to evolve and challenge our expectations of hip hop, Ohmega Watts headlines the Niche Productions Soul Revue which is bound to be an energetic and head-nodding affair.
Ladi 6 is one of New Zealand's premier vocalists and MC's. Gene pool and nepotism aside (her cousin is Scribe), Ladi6 has layed down her heady and soulful vocal stylings for some of the finest Antipodean talents, including Shapeshifter, Fat Freddys Drop & Scribe. A special opportunity to check out her lusty and laid-back beats before her debut solo album, produced by Mu from Fat Freddys Drop, is released.
Mark Pritchard (Troubleman / Warp Records UK) is a DJ/producer who has worked on acclaimed remixes for the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Lamb and Azymuth. He has a fine reputation for musical stylings that incorporate deep and ambient beats to electro-tinged hip-hop.
Thief aka DJ gsan is a turntablist/producer from Melbourne whose recent EP was an exercise in lavish strings, heavy hip-hop drums, analogue bass lines & down-tempo soul. Beside his production foray, Thief has a solid reputation as one of Australia's premier beats DJs.
Brighton-based Russ Dewbury of the Brighton Jazz Rooms is a notorious heavyweight of the international Soul/Jazz dance music scene & is set to roll out his unique brand of funk, rare groove & sweet soul.
Hip hop and beyond" is the best way to describe Sepalot’s nightly DJ escapades.
With tours throughout Europe from Bordeaux, Zurich to Moscow he also plays as a resident DJ in his hometown Munich. He´s known for taking the crowd on a journey from hip hop, rare grooves to breakbeats and electro music. Besides various remixes and projects like Soundtracks he is currently working on his solo album at compost records.
