Fishing – OOOO
Fishing are a Sydney based duo who make beats. This track managed to make it on to the Forkcast which is a pretty massive deal. It’s not the run of the mill Sound Doctrine band so hopefully you’ll come to this with an open mind and an open heart. No need for an open wallet though, it’s a free download if you know how to right click.

There’s something tropical about this track. Particularly from 1:40 when the loops turn into something a little damper. It sounds creepy but it’s what I’m hearing. Band art suits the song.
“I think it’s time for me to get out, because at the moment I’m only thinking about FISHING 21 hours a day, and they’re the waking moments. And even when I close my eyes I’m thinking about it.”
-Rex Hunt

[…] That was June, this is November and now a nineteen year old Vv Pete has gone and offered up one of my favourite Australia rap releases of 2022. It’s called Frauds and in a nice little full-circle moment, you’ll hear that it’s largely the same song she performed in that office chair back in 2020. The evolution of it sees her flesh the record out more fully and rope in none other than Cassius Select on production duties which is… inspired. If the name’s familiar it’s because he’s been a staple of experimental electronic music in Australia for well over a decade, harkening back to one of his first projects Guerre which funnily enough, I wrote about around 10 years ago now. He was also part of iconic Sydney trio Black Vanilla around that time too, worth a little snoop if you never caught ‘em. The track and video is holistically surrounded by great people. Co-production by Trackwork record label founder UTILITY, additional mixing and production by T.Morimoto (another artist I wrote about under a different name many moons ago) and music video design by Russell Fitzgibbon (aka Skeleten / formerly of FISHING) […]
