Music Industry: Gabriel Gleeson, Stephanie Rickards, Rielly Haberecht & Jake Kerr
Journalism: Mariam Isa, Carla de la Paz, Ashna Bharkhada
Sound Design: Angelina Crutchfield

This episode of Sound as Ever began with a focus on the themes of identity and belonging, using Zambian born artist Sampa the Great’s track Black Girl Magik, which draws attention to a lack of non-Anglo representation in the culture of her new home of Australia. The story became one of immigration and cultural representation, with a window to the music and stories of African-Australian artists. We highlight the changing direction of domestic hip hop while celebrating a wave of new talent garnering major label attention.

30/70: Nu Spring
The creation of new music scenes

Song: Nu Spring by 30/70

Music Industry: Henry Lucas, Philippa Conlon, Zak Boardman & Lucy White
Journalism: Rhiannon Down, Samuel Richards and Hamish Lindsay
Sound Design: Israel Carter

This podcast explores the genre-bending world of Melbourne’s jazz/rap/soul/hip hop fusion scene, specifically its innately free and collaborative nature as displayed by the 30/70 collective and their song Nu Spring. Genre-defying music defined because of its community rather than solely the final product has paved the way for innovative acts and fresh scenes to find their way into the public eye.

Regurgitator: If this is the Blues, Why do I Feel so Green?
The Band in a Bubble

Song: If This is the Blues, Why do I Feel so Green? by Regurgitator

Music Industry: Jasper Bradley, Dan Walkeden and Juan Piflow
Journalism: Katie Colston, Linda Liem and Hussan Jama
Sound Design: D.A. Calf

Framed by this iconic Regurgitator song, this episode of Sound As Ever explores the creative merit, failures and ultimate succeses of the Band in a Bubble project, an experimental project that was a blend of reality TV and interactive media that resulted in the album Mish Mash. Whilst a typical blues-rock song at its core, contextualised within the album and reflected against their other works, this song epitomises the genre-defying, innovative and often characteristically unique characteristics of the unorthodox musical group.
