About Me


If I put this in inverted commas and use the third person it's like someone else wrote it:
"Hugo 1 is a freestyle/pre-written MC from the UK dedicated to coalescing the greatest level of skill available to his 4dimensional being. He has just returned to the great city of Melbourne to hang in the hip hop melting pot of Collingwood and continue his studies of the 4million+ elements of hip hop, and the oneness of the universe."
Sincere thanks for visiting, listening and reading. Any comments, invitations to collaborate &c are very welcome...

The video for myspace the musical, still languishing a bit in the vaults, hope you enjoy this proto-type version and think the amateur editing/filming etc adds to the general Phoenix Nights-esque effect of the thing! Due to be touched up soon to all its camp glory.

Saian Supa Crew - best hip hop group ever IMHO
(good old Youtube: if you let the vid run to the end it gives you 14 more Saian videos to watch. Trust me - They're worth it.)

Flight of the Conchords
Difficult to describe just how amazing these guys are.

This is an album track for Sa-Ra. During recent recording sessions in London, Soulem and I played this about 3,000 times for inspiration. The new tunes will be up soon, so judge for yourself if there's any link whatsoever!
