Def Wish Cast epitomise the whole package. They symbolise Hiphop in its purest form. They created something localised that was revered and is now mythologised: they are Def Wish Cast; they are Australian; they are Hiphop.In 1990 Def Wish Cast began taking their skills to the stage. Every show was an experience. Already at this early period in their career, they were perfecting stage techniques and crowd interactions that hadn't been witnessed previously by local crowds. Def Wish Cast championed the importance of representing the country of their birth, by having a very identifiable style and sounding distinctly Australian.In late 1991 the 500 limited edition four track vinyl Mad as a Hatter EP became available and was eagerly snapped up. The cover was co-designed by Sereck and Def Wish and became an instant collector’s item. Recently an original pressing went on eBay to a German bidder for more than AU$430, proving that even years later their importance is still recognised by many fans.DWC quickly became known amongst the underground scenes of many overseas countries. DefWish’s lightning speed double-time delivery and dextrous wordplay impressed many, as the track Proppa Ragga Style became popular here and abroad. Coming in at number 2 on Norway’s Rainbow FM HipHop show in the early 90's, it was the first Australian Hiphop track to break into the international charts.Come 1992, DWC released one of the hallmarks by which all Australian Hiphop would be judged. The 15 track Knights of the Underground Table was finally unleashed.It was an instant classic, and the first real hardcore album from an Australian Hiphop crew.DWC ventured into a new realm, by recording the first Australian underground Hiphop film clip for A.U.S.T with the help of some film students. The clip clearly cemented the track’s position as the official song to express patriotism wrapped in a blanket of fortitude.It was 1995 when DWC recorded for the prolific San Francisco label, Bomb Records, for the international compilation Bomb Worldwide. The track "Hear My Raw" indicated a different style, yet not long after, the crew disbanded amicably to pursue other ventures.Sereck formed his own label, Basic Equipment, releasing a documentary and compilation that included his former crew members in their new guises. DefWish and Die C returned as the crew Kilawattz (they later released the EP Kila Kombo in 1999), while Sereck teamed up with Brass to create Celsius.Today the home grown scene has evolved and DWC are back; ready to represent the people and welcome you into their world. They have reformed, now with local legend DJ Murda-1 holding down the decks. Officially joining the group in early 2007, DJ Murda-1 was the perfect person to fill the gap left by DJ Vame. His ability, originality, and faultless technique was the ideal match for DWC.A DWC production isn't something you just remember. It’s something that’s imprinted. Not only are Def Wish Cast totally in control of the stage as individuals, but as a team they lift it up several notches to devastating effect. DefWish and Sereck often break out into exhibitions of b-boying on stage or create a circle amongst the crowd as excited onlookers feel part of the experience. True Hiphop kings to the fullest!For Bookings Contact For Interviews & Media Requests Contact:
