Sonic Architects National Conference is touring the nation this November / December, taking some Australia's most exciting acts on the road, together!
Featuring boundary-pushing Melbourne based artists Hiatus Kaiyote & Remi, Sonic Architects National Conference is set to be an all out live sound-clash!
HIATUS KAIYOTE
Hiatus Kaiyote are the first Australian act to be nominated for an R&B Grammy award, yet they stand incomparable to anyone in the whole world of R&B/soul. Their sound references a swathe of influences - electric, acoustic, futuristic, psychedelic, progressive, soothing and urgent - slipping in and out genre and defying definition.
Seen as a sonic Voltron between four artists (Nai Palm, Simon Mavin, Paul Bender, Perrin Moss) over the past 12 months Hiatus Kaiyote have toured the world relentlessly - selling out shows across North America, Europe and Africa - since re-releasing their self produced Tawk Tomahawk EP on Salaam Remi's (Amy Winehouse, Fugees, Nas) new label Flying Buddha.
They count some of the most innovative artists alive today as fans (Prince, Pharrell Williams, Erykah Badu, Flying Lotus, Questlove) and are uncompromising in their musical vision and philosophy as chief songwriter Nai Palm explains “I see our music as creating a sonic sanctuary for people. The more levels that I can expand to the more powerful it is. Basically my greatest joy is to enhance people's emotional experiences and imagination. I want to contribute to how vivid people's lives are.”
REMI
23-year-old Melbourne artist REMI is the fastest-rising Hip Hop act in Australia and is quickly gaining the attention of international tastemakers.
With a triple J Unearthed Artist of the year J Award already on the shelf, REMI's new album RAW X INFINITY has received critical acclaim locally and abroad, landing Feature Album of the Week on triple J, and being nominated for the AIR Awards 'Independent Hip Hop Album of the Year". With no less than four singles currently getting radio airplay across the country, love from the likes of international tastemaker blog OkayAfrica and a string of UK and EU shows coming up in November, to cap it off REMI has just been nominated for ‘Australian Breakthrough Artist of the Year'.
