SOCIAL CHANGE "V.High.E.P." - CD OUT NOW
Adelaide underground Hip Hop favourite Social Change hits 2008 with massive live performances and the brand new CD titled “V.High.E.P”.
This next-level debut is now available through Butterthief, and is a snapshot of the upcoming full length Social Change album titled “V.High.P” which features production by beat heavyweights Funkwig and One Above as well as cuts by Australia’s finest turntable veteran DJ Snair.
Social Change takes the stage with a mic, MPC and two turntables, or a complete live band. Having performed for years, sharing stages with various fellow Australian artists and numerous international acts (see history/biography blog), Social Change has an experience and musical depth that is rarely seen amongst emerging artists.
Social Change has previously featured on the critically acclaimed F&d (Funkwig & deNorthwode) album “Worship the Grit” released late 2005 through Crookneck.
“V.High.E.P” is the first official CD from Social Change, and the first release from Adelaide based recording label Butterthief, which is owned and operated by Social Change and producer Funkwig.
Social Change launched the E.P. at Producers Bar on Saturday the 15th December 2007, performing a Hip Hop set with Funkwig on the MPC and DJ Snair on the two turntables, followed by a live band performance with the Funk Movement featuring the V.High.P crew.
The night was a dual launch show with special guests Common Cause, who recently dropped their 12” release. Visit the blog to read the review by inthemix.com.au
Social Change "V.High.E.P" is out now through Butterthief and already available at good music stores. Get Yours!
