ILLUSIVE PRESENTS

PETE ROCK

Illusive is thrilled to announce the first ever Australian tour by legendary New York producer/DJ, Pete Rock. The self proclaimed Soul Brother #1 hits Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth in January 2012.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, Pete Rock first rose to prominence as part of the hugely influential duo Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth. From there, he has embarked on an unrivalled production and solo career spanning two decades, seeing him produce iconic records for Run DMC, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Ghostface Killah and Redman to name a few. He is credited as playing a major role in the merging of elements of jazz and funk into hip hop music, and has most recently been brought back into rap’s consciousness with his production on Jay-Z & Kanye West’s ‘Watch The Throne’ album (‘The Joy’).

The man has a record collection that clocks well into the 90,000s and a resume featuring the likes of ‘Down With The King’, ‘The World is Yours’, ‘Shut ‘em Down’ and ‘T.R.O.Y’. His highly acclaimed live show is a journey through the mind of one of the most influential musicians of the past few decades. Don’t miss it.

Visit Metals here at their new page!

And here is our very formal label bio below…

Melbourne via London alternative-pop duo Metals throw down an exceptionally bold statement with their brand new single Like/Unlike.

Fusing a unique mix of 60′s soul riffs, heavy rap drums and brash pop songwriting, Like/Unlike sounds like nothing else in the Australian music landscape. Lead singer Candice Butler’s defiant stance against hiding behind an online persona – “Hey Mr Stranger, who the f**k do you think you are?” – quickly turns into a contradicting tale of her love/hate relationship with today’s obsession with social media – “I just cannot give it up, don’t wanna give it up, you know its like a drug”.

Enlisting juggernaut Australian rapper/songwriter 360 and emerging producer Styalz Fuego as behind the scenes co-pilots, Metals take a truly remarkable sonic step with Like/Unlike, the first single from their upcoming debut album due in early 2012.

Metals Like/Unlike is available on iTunes from September 5th.
