The Chop is a brand new night being held at Play bar in Sydney’s design, music and fashion hub of Surry Hills on a monthly to bi monthly basis.

The call has been sent out to all bedroom bangers, mpc masters, beat junkies and production prodigies to bring their finest cuts of A grade beat and they have answered with cleavers in tow.

All performances will be live and butchered to order for your audio taste buds.

Along with show casing these talented artists, The Chop will be supported by some of Sydney’s finest DJ’s. They will spinning the most mouth watering assortment of funk, soul, boogie and hip hop to accompany these talented purveyors of cold cuts and dope beats.

Play bar is an underground urban speak easy in Surry Hills frequented by everyone from corporate city slickers looking for a street style getaway to the cool kids of inner Sydney, which makes it the perfect venue for The Chop.

This is a free event designed to promote the little known beat scene in Sydney and it is well worth stepping into this musical meat market to see the range of produce.

Falling off the bone on Saturday the 30th of August 2014…

Fine Beats: Live sets by Tigermoth, Monastry & Audient

TIGERMOTH //

Equally influenced by US and Japanese Hip-hop, tigermoth weaves an abstract, instrumental canvas/soundscape, backed by orchestrated beats.

Somewhere in the musical ether that connects all genres you’ll find Tigermoth floating through and feeding off a variety of eras and sounds. A healthy dose of Miles Davis Electric Jazz, NY Boom Bap, Japanese tech hop, Detroit Hip Hop, Jimi Hendrix psych, traditional world musics, movie soundtracks and the modern LA beats scene, all serve towards making up his musical diet.

Born in the Chinese year of the Tiger, Tigermoth’s (a.k.a. TiM Paterson) beats are as much a aural journey as they are a head nodding experience. He is a multi instrumentalist who chooses to express himself live through turntables, samplers and FX. His DJ sets are as much intelligent mixing as they are masterly understated abstract turntabilism. His film background and Jazz leanings allow him to compose sets that provide a narrative of sorts.

A prolific producer, Tigermoth has multiple solo releases and is high demand for his remix and soundtrack work. He has recorded, performed with and/or supported a vast array of both local and international hip hop artists including DJ Krush, DJ Vadim. Jonwayne, MF DOOM, Guilty Simpson, Phat Kat, Del the Funky Homosapien, Oh No, Kool Keith, EL-P, De La Soul, The Opus, Gaslamp Killer, Cut Chemist, and Dizz1.

MONASTRY //

In a landscape weary with big room anthems, we bring back the instrumental.
Down tempo at its finest,
Let the music talk…

AUDIENT

Audient is the collaborative musical experiment between producers Beau Cummins and Josh Jones, and vocalist Mitchell Gene. The Sydney-based Trio combine electronic beats, sinuous melodies and spacious vocals to deliver a blend of ambiance and texture in their debut EP The Morrow, available now for free.

RAINE SUPREME //

Raine Supreme has quickly become the go-to DJ for all things Hip Hop, soul and funk. He regularly plays all around Sydney, and has held residencies at the most frequented concert venues, bars & clubs.

BENNY HINN //

Benny Hinn (Daniel Robertson) began spinnin’ vinyl back in 01′ playing a range of phat funky house and some chunky big assed broken beatz for the masses… Although now only 33, the Hinns has played at some of the finer establishments, parties and festivals around Sydney, Wollongong and the Southcoast, gaining a rep az a bit of a party starter and one with some def skillz, finess and sheer artistry on a pair of 1200s.

The Hinn has also toured with the MOS Label for an Anunal release and has supported many artists such as, The Stanton Warriors, Freq Nasty, Krafty Kuts, A Skillz, Jay Jay, Sneaky Sound System, The Resin Dogs, Katalyst, Koolism, [love] Tattoo, Mark Dynamix, Ajax [RIP], Bang Gang, Goodwill, Alex Taylor, Funktrust, Purple Sneaker DJs + many many more…

The Hinn has also been dipping into a little production here and there with a few little mashes and beats all up on his soundcloud page.

His latest venture has been PLAY BAR. After drawing inspiration from his last stint in Melbourne and meeting his partner & co-owner Sarah, the two worked hard to build, what they hope to be for many years to come, an institution in Surry Hills Sydney.
