Music from Melbourne: the sounds of Wondercore Island

August 19, 2016 9:51 PM

Wondercore Island is a Melbourne-based label/ artist management and PR company label that supports a range of future soul, alternative and hip-hop acts, including Clever Austin, Ainslie Wills, Jaala, Oscar Key Sung, Vulture St. Tape Gang, Hiatus Kaiyote, and Sampa the Great, to name a few groups and artists. You can check out more from this umbrella group/ thing on Vimeo, YouTube, Soundcloud and perhaps most conveniently on Bandcamp, where they have a number of mixtapes and other musical collections available to stream and download for free.

Thanks to cashman for hooking me onto this label/ group with the prior reference to Sampa. If you want somewhere to start, go with Sampa the Great - The Great Mixtape (Bandcamp, free stream/ download).

Hiatus Kaiyote are the best new band I've heard in a while, looking forward to checking out their label-mates.
