Duets Volume 1 is the 6th release on the Suburban Grooves record label featuring seven young emerging artists from Western Sydney. Suburban Grooves was set up by Information and Cultural Exchange (ICE), an award winning arts and digital media organisation which supports arts development and creative opportunities in Western Sydney.
Duets Volume 1 features collaborations with Maya Jupiter, Ozi Batla (Astronomy Class), MC Trey, MCNay (Last Kinection) and more. Production is handled by Mr. Zux who has worked with a wide range of artists such as Mystro (UK), Sean Ray (Snob Scrilla) and KillaQueenz along with a bonus remix track by one of Australia’s best known Hip Hop producers Chasm.
“ICE is committed to providing young musicians with avenues to distribute and share their music. We are very proud of the Duets CD because not only does it feature some of Australia’s finest urban music artists, it also features some of our best emerging talent.” ICE Director – Lena Nahlous
Over a three month period, young artists from ICE’s Urban Music Project were chosen to work side by side with established acts, who mentored them in song-writing sessions which resulted in seven duets. The songs speak from the heart of these young artists and their stories of strength, positivity, wisdom, hope, memories and relationships – from the streets.
Duets Volume 1 will be launched on November 27 at Melt, 12 Kellet Street, Kings Cross. 8-10pm.
The Duets project was managed by ICE and supported by Blacktown Youth Services Association with support from Australia Council’s Music Program. This project received funding form Australia Council, Arts NSW and Screen Australia and utilized the facilities of Switch Digital Arts Access centre, a partnership with Parramatta City Council.
