Their Sound Our Wings - Coptic Soldier

Since releasing his debut solo EP ‘The Sound Of Wings 2’ in February this year, Coptic Soldier has been deemed “one of the most promising acts in Australian hip-hop” (The AU Review) and has quickly turned heads both on the ground and in the upper echelons of the Australian music industry. After being branded a Music NSW featured artist, AMRAP AirIT featured artist and beating out highly acclaimed pop acts such as Sparkadia and Cloud Control as well as genre giants The Herd and Urthboy in the AMRAP AirIT charts, Coptic Soldier went on to win Triple J Unearthed & NIDA's video clip competition and the resulting film clip “Liquid Company” received regular rotation on ABC's RAGE.


Now, Coptic Soldier along with his fellow I Forget, Sorry! Artists Mind Over Matter, Phatchance, Smiles Again and Johnny Utah will release a free 5 track mixtape on Christmas eve. Through the mixtape, Copic Soldier takes on a wide range of sounds stretching from a cover of the famous hymn Amazing Grace to recent Lupe Fiasco hit “Words I Never Said” as well as attacking more traditional hip hop mixtape tracks with original lyrics over beats by P.O.S and Timberland.

The mixtape features Kootla (Hilltop Hoods initiative winner) + fellow I Forget, Sorry! member Willow if Mind Over Matter and is rounded off with a unique take on Boy & Bears “Lordy May”.

"Amazing Grace from the forth coming christmas eve mix tape, Our Sound, Their Wings" Free, out December 24th – merry Christmas!

Coptic Soildier - Amazing Grace Cover

I never thought that i'd hear a cover of Amzaing Grace especially a hip hop cover. But Coptic Soilder as always is mixing it up as scene throughout his work in the past, including Sounds Of Wings Acoustic. Check out his remix of this classical song below.

Phatchance and One Above's "Somebody I Used to Know Remix" (Gotye/Kimbra)

Its finally here Phatchance and One Above have released their Somebody I Used To Know track. Check it out down below and spread it round. Deffinatly worth a listen its a change from Chance's latest acoustic work. We can see that on this one he really has taken his music further both lyrically and musically. The slow beat and chant like lyrics at the start that slowly progress to build up to the chorus really shows this. Download it now off sound cloud while you can.

Inkstain Remixes

Ok so about a week ago Phatchance posted a link for a selected group of fans to download the accapellas to his latest album, Inkstains Acoustic. I downloaded this just to give it a listen but there were many others who had other ideas. Within hours people were posting on his wall their remixes of various tracks from the album. Many of which were very impressive. Below are a few, feel free to listen and comment back on Phatchances, or the producers wall.

Solo indie hip-hop artists Phatchance and Coptic Soldier have forged a large cult following through their tireless touring schedule and high energy stage show. After a year packed with a massive touring schedule, including two national headline tours and supports for heavyweight acts like Method Man & Redman, DJ Premier and The Beatnuts, the artists flipped the table completely in February 2011 with the release of a unique dual-disc acoustic hip hop EP and subsequent capacity acoustic residency at Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory. As a result of the success of the residency and overwhelming response to the releases the artists are once again hitting the road for an extended east coast tour, and this time they’re leaving the DJ at home.

Crowned a Triple J Unearthed, MYSPACE.COM and SBA Music Featured Artist, as well as packing out venues nationally on his ‘Inkstains’ and ‘I Forget, Sorry!’ 2010 Tours, Phatchance has quickly become Sydney’s biggest unsigned hip-hop artist. With his lead acoustic single ‘Build It Up’ currently receiving regular rotation on Triple J and Inkstains (Acoustic) garnering rave reviews in street press and throughout the blogosphere, it’s clear to listeners exactly why he’s earned labels such as “a masterful story teller” (The Australian) and “wisdom beyond his years” (Onion Mag).

Since releasing his debut solo EP ‘The Sound Of Wings 2’ in February this year, Coptic Soldier has been deemed “one of the most promising acts in Australian hip-hop” (The AU Review) and has quickly turned heads both on the ground and in the upper echelons of the Australian music industry. After being branded a Music NSW featured artist and AMRAP AirIT featured artist and beating out highly acclaimed pop acts such as Sparkadia and Cloud Control as well as genre giants The Herd and Urthboy in the AMRAP AirIT charts, Coptic’s acoustic single “I Hate Sleep” is proving itself a massive hit in the independent radio circuit.

Both artists will be joined by their full live band in a series of intimate, acoustic performances, showcasing their musicianship, endearing stage presence and acclaimed writing styles. With tour support by close collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Jon Reichardt, as well as a series of special guests in each state, these shows will probably be the only opportunities to catch this unique acoustic material live before the artists go into lock down to work on their respective albums.
