Every Wednesday, Sardi lets us know what’s tickling his eardrums in the world of electronic music…

East meets west as local bad boy Ta-Ku drops a split LP with Sydney based (via Berlin) beat maker Suff Daddy. The fourteen track release titled ‘Brocks & Mortar’ sees each producer present seven cuts of ridiculously fat Hip Hop jams.

The liner notes say it best:

The highs and lows bricks and mortar concept was established under the idea of two separate entities uniting to create something fresh and unique: be it through two different brands, two different shoes or two contrasting colour schemes – much like the binding of two sovereign elements to birth something whole, so is the sonic association between Suff Daddy and Ta-Ku for the accompanying “Bricks and Mortar” EP by working in alignment with the bricks and mortar canon. Suff Daddy and Ta-Ku collaborate to showcase the output that occurs when two producers from two different sides of the equator share familiar lane.

Every Wednesday, Sardi lets us know what’s tickling his eardrums in the world of dance music…

takuThe beat scene has exploded globally, thanks (for the most part) to the advancements in technology allowing virtually anyone to write music — anywhere. Our hometown is no exception, fostering a plethora of beatmakers pushing the boundaries of Hip Hop as far as the eye can’t see.

One of my favourite local producers Ta-ku, is dropping his latest release ‘RE ? TWERK’ further exploring his futuristic take on beat music. Melding cut up vocals, bumping kicks and catchy synth hooks, the LP shows his progression as a producer moving through Post Dubstep & UK Funky as effortlessly as he does with slower tempos.

Twelve tracks in total, the album features collaborations plus four remixes of local & international artists rounding things out.

It hits the stores today. Go out and grab a copy!
