General Update (January 2011)

Happy new year from everyone at Schematik, we sincerely hope everything has started out right and all your resolutions are being taken care of... more power to you. Keeping it brief, we've had a busy month and a number of opportunities have presented themselves. We released a single entitled Israels Camp from the forth coming EP, Crash Kawse and the response from local radio has been great. Chip Matthews (of Opensouls) quotes, "Big big tune, it makes Andre The Giant look like Pee Wee Herman". Big shouts to Reborn, J-Roots & MC Silva for their contribution to the record, feel free to check it out in the media player below. I've recently formed a new hip-hop/ reggae mash up crew called The Xrossfire Brigade (The1LikeFurious, 5th Chyld, DJ Locksteady & MC Arme). We'll be launching two monthly shows in Auckland city, more details will be available next month. Opening for Home Brew & DJ Substance at Rakinos on February 4th, this is a late addition to the bill so details are limited... props to Tom Broone for the heads up. Crash Kawse, in its entirety will be available for free download next week, we've been posting singles up lately just to get a response... I apologize for the delay. Thanks to Basim A-Goraji for coming on board as my video producer/director, we'll be documenting footage and shooting a number of videos this year for promotional purposes. We also have a few other things happening but more will be revealed in the coming weeks, stay safe and stay tuned.
