AustraliaǃÙs international music crew, Uber Lingua, hit their stride with week two of their new summer residency at the Abercrombie Hotel in Ultimo on Sunday 26th November.
Indigenous hip hop artist Wire MC (right) headlines with a live set of his self-proclaimed ǃ?country rebelǃ? and ǃÚabo-digitalǃ? beats. A Gumbayngirri descendent from Bowraville (NSW), Wire MC has become a familiar, rousing force at many venues around the country with appearances at Homebake, Womadelaide and Sydney Opera House. In offering a viewpoint that promotes positive co-existence, international film maker, George Gittoes (ǃÚSoundtrack to WarǃÙ) recently desribed him as ǃ?the best rapper in Australiaǃ?.
Armed with only voice, sampler and delay pedal, Wei Zen melds South East Asian sounds with contemporary electronica. Described by Radio NationalǃÙs Tim Ritchie as ǃ?an aural and mental adventureǃ?, Wei Zen is the creative force behind minimal electronic crew Tufa and has recently returned from two solo shows in Beijing. She heralds in the twilight with a live set at 6pm.
Bringing up the rear, The Herd bass player and long-time Frigid DJ Prince V drops tracks from his translingual collection, plus thereǃÙs sets from Argentine selector Spex and collaborator MC Hernan, and Uber resident Stu Buchanan (host of FBiǃÙs Fat Planet).
Set in the sunny outdoor settings of the Abercrombie garden and with exotic, international food on the barbie, all the right ingredients are in the place for the perfect Summer Sunday.
