FLako

fLako is one of Europe’s best emerging beats producers at the moment. First appearing a couple of years ago on Up My Alley’s ‘Beatnicks Vol.2’ with the banging ‘Inside’, it was not until his outstanding remix for Robot Koch’s Vortex Cookies project in late 2008 that heads really began to turn, and his take on the track has since been a set-staple for players like Gaslamp Killer, Hudson Mohawke and Jay “Beat Dimensions” Scarlett. Damn right.

General Knowledge

For over three years, General Knowledge have been carving an inroad into the Australian hip-hop scene. The two MC’s have done numerous gigs in and around Adelaide and have built up a strong following in such a niche market. Winning the inaugural Hilltop Hoods initiative has made many people stand up and take notice of an act everyone in the know was already keen on. To add to this they have a Battle of the Bands title (2004) under their belt and perform a live show that has to be seen to be appreciated!...
