Able & Uncomfortable Beats Happenings

Friday February 17th, 2012 by Able8

Hey again,

Just thought I’d drop with some new updates…

Recently I launched an Australian beats compilation album on Uncomfortable Beats, and ran a killer launch party for it with my two trusty side-kicks Rob Healey (Ghostsoul) and Pauly Fawcett (ShiKung) – Photos Below. You can hear or purchase the album through Bandcamp, or stream it on the Soundcloud. The plan is to push more compilation releases through and eventually use the platform to release our own inpidual albums (and other artists as we see fit)

Anyway the launch was a very successful and fun night! Just a few more nights later we also ran the regular Bar Open residency which also proved to be a good night of tunes, including artists such as YesNoMaybe, Remi, Ruffles, Ghostsoul, ShiKung and DJ Sizzle.

As far as my own music I’ve been working mostly with UK rappers Benny Diction, and Beit Nun recently, and MC Points (When he rarely gets back to me.) I have some great gigs coming up next week including supporting Ras G, Araab Musik and heaps of others…Supporting Ras G and Dizz1, and performing at Utopia Festival. Going to be such a good week, looking forward to it.

Anyhow, for those interested, I’ve created a Tumblr page, where I post up photos and video I take in Melbourne or whilst travelling, who knows I might even update it regularly…We’ll see.

Till next time

Able
