Few rival the dedication Adelaide hip hop duo Dialect & Despair show their genre. The young pair; emcee Dialect 22 and producer Despair 26, have already earned themselves international notoriety as a result of their infallible commitment to keeping hip hop culture alive.

D & D have evolved since the release of debut album The Vortex in 2010, with their rare quality of emcee/producer synchronicity strengthened and all manner of new experiences under their belts. Due for release on October 31^st 2012, Dialect & Despair’s second album Self Evident is a testament to their passion for their craft, its culture and the historical legacies it has left behind by its champions.

Despair’s innovative production laced with traditional principles and samples, sets a vivid scene for the varied subjects explored by the vehement Dialect.  Self Evident boasts a list of high calibre guests including Vordul Mega, Total Eclipse, Beneficence, Melanie Rutherford, Malanin 9, S.I.T.H, Majestic Gage and D Flow.

With a passion for maintaining a universal hip hop culture, Self Evident focuses on the music, principles and stories behind the movement, whilst blending the old with the new.

“The production is unique; the lyrics are not what everyone else is saying.  We are carving our own lane. We are trying to push Hip Hop into another realm for this country.” - Dialect

The Silent Titan comes forth with his second solo production record entitled Out Circle Movements. His debut, For the Rest of My Days dropped worldwide in September, 2011. Travel , movement , time, space , speculation , nostalgia, and observation ; these everyday circumstances are the themes highlighted on this record .

The Silent Titan aka Tom Charuk is a producer from Australia working consistently behind the boards to develop a worldwide following through his hip-hop roots. Soulful, hard hitting, sample heavy production, seamlessly intertwined with live instrumentation, synthesis, and an array of talented vocalists, makes this release a monumental benchmark in The Silent Titan‘s ever expanding portfolio.

Always providing originality with his beats, Tom’ s intrinsic, genuine approach to beat making is dynamic, professional and without exception, from the heart. Considering Tom lives so far from the rest of the world (Sydney, Australia) he is determined to make his chosen career path a success, through working and developing with artists who are mostly considered ‘underground’, and maintaining a position in the scheme of the Hip hop world.

With the album featuring tracks from lyrical legends Prince Po (Bad Habits Ent.) , Oddisee ( Mello Music Group ),MED ( Stones Throw Records ), Journalist 103 ( Mello Music Group ), Rock ( Duck Down records ) and the soulful voice of Jace Excell; Tom’s prowess and growth as a producer is demonstrated exceptionally.
