Scratched Vinyl reviews Ultra Magnus’s Muziki Mzuri

I totally missed this very excellent review from Scratched Vinyl of Muziki Mzuri, the newest album from Ultra Magnus. While the quality and crispness of sound on this album owes a lot to the engineering expertise of Fresh Kils, he wasn’t the lone producer on the album. “Old Arrogance” was produced by Callum while “Boogs” and “Pleasant” were produced by Boogie Belgique; and of course, Uncle Fes produced “Bully (Fester Remix)”. All the producers deserve their shine. 🙂 Still, awesome album, awesome review.

The first single from The Mighty Rhino’s A Joy Which Nothing Can Erase is out now. “Full Steam” is a devastating neck-snapping banger, packing powerful, witty, and hilarious punchline after punchline into two high-art 16s and a crowd-pleasing shout-along winner of a chorus… Produced by Skywise.

“Road Warriors” official video is pretty great!

The album may have dropped a couple of months back, but the first of at least a couple of videos for fourth album Road Warriors, is finally out! Check it out!

The title track and first official single from Road Warriors, the fourth album from rap duo Primal Winds, perfectly captures the rest of the album, with only a few exceptions. It’s a hip hop-heavy rock-rap hybrid with a high octane sound built to win over live audiences. Produced by Iron Wind with Mad Max-inspired raps from Wind and District Prime, the single also features Julian Swift, guitarist for Toronto punk band Cola Heads, who delivers a raw, heavy metal hook for the chorus.

Shot and edited by Noir Kitty, with secondary camera assistance from John Beales, the visuals add a Canadian twist to the Mad Max mythology thanks to the woodsy automobile graveyard setting, plus there’s a nod to Death Race! The video also features Mad Max cosplayer Christian Joseph and his replica Interceptor, one of only two not built off an Australian car platform, instead customizing a 1970 Torino. Now watch the action unfold!
