Hey all,
So here it is, UNDERTOW's new EP "On Sight" released on Likeminded and available on all good streaming platforms now!
Fresh off the release of his single ‘On Sight,’ Undertow returns to release his highly anticipated EP with the same title. Back with a vengeance and different to his other releases, UNDERTOW strays away from his signature boom bap rap style to diversify his skills into combining his bass music history of DTECHMC (DnB/Grime/Dubstep/Breakbeats) further showcasing the rapper’s versatility.
The 4-track EP see’s the skilful rapper get playful with his tracks, circling around with higher energy music with BPMs upwards to 140. Whilst his single ‘On Sight’ created a vibe that’s familiar
and central, the track ‘Who’ dabbles into early grime sound circa early 2000s.
“This album is just me having a flex on a different bpm. I have a major history with this music, I was hosting Garage sets back in 2001 so it’s nothing new. It’s the first time that the Undertow
name has been associated to this as when I was coming up in Hip hop in Australia, the garage/grime scene was a very different one to that of the hip hop,”
"I remember a review I got on my first album from Beat Magazine in Melbourne which stated, I didn’t know what to think about this album as it was from a club Mc. So yeah it took me a while to
combine both of these personas into one so to speak,”
His drive, passion for music and talent has led him onto the radar of local and international media taste-makers. Stylistically Undertow’s broad versatility is refreshing and genuine as he lyrically dips into real life dilemmas with local references and witty punchlines, making him intriguing and accessible whilst providing a relatable figure to the flourishing music scene and beyond.
The EP was produced by 3 producers from the UK - Kayos, A-Zee and Chedda.
