Bio
Culture Connect are a seven-piece live hip-hop outfit originally hailing from Darwin, with half the crew now calling Bris-Vegas home. Featuring four MCs and a band made up of bass, guitar, drums, and samples via MPC and keyboard, the crew bring a dynamic live show that is renowned to get the crowd amped up and dancing while still delivering food for thought. Over the last six years they've played events as diverse as the Darwin and Adelaide festivals, Federation Centenary celebrations, on Channel V as part of their Leg-Up comp, and more recently supporting The Herd on the east-coast leg of their tour. Recording wise, the culture crew has done live shows for Triple Js breakfast show, Live at the Wireless, had their track Check 1,2 added to high rotation, and recorded for SBS as part of their Whatever program. Recently Culture Connect has released their debut EP Natural Intelligence independently (check your local hip-hop specialists), from which a film-clip is about to be released. The crews debut album is in the works and will feature a number of special guests including TZU, The Herd, Elf Tranzporter, Sista Native and Tribal SUNS.

Judging by the love left on here - these boys should be getting...
