Astronomy Class

About Me


Marking the International Year Of Astronomy with style: hip hop group Astronomy Class release their second album, Pursuit Of Happiness, on May 2 through Elefant Traks.

The album sees producers Sir Robbo and Chasm build on their signature reggae-blessed hip-hop, brought to life so magically on their 2006 debut, Exit Strategy, while dipping deeper into the sweet soul of Motown's yesteryear.

Ozi Batla makes a welcome return to the mic, brimming with confidence following The Herd's AIR and J Award winning, ARIA top ten album, Summerland. He delivers his own lyrical stamp on the trials and tribulations of modern life, crafting a sharp-witted and layered listen.

John Maddox (bass) and The Tongue extend their impressive live skills to the new record while Vida-Sunshyne; Diafrix; Kween G (KillaQueenz); and blues & roots charmer Ash Grunwald lend their vocals generously. Mike Burnham (The Heliocentrics) returns to the boards, colouring the sound with his analogue recording and mixing techniques.
