TJAKA
Brothers Geoff and Jake Fabila are descendants of the Jabirr Jabirr tribe in the WA Kimberley and, joined by best mate Felix Fogarty, this Brisbane/Meanjin-based trio fuse electronic beats and lava-hot rap flow, which melt audiences in a crucible of funk, reggae, and dance.
Tjaka's high-energy bangers introduce the use of Didjeribone (a slide didgeridoo, similar to a trombone), ripping guitar solos, and the deep sounds of the FaceBass to create a contemporary Indigenous experience like no other.
PHAT LOVE
Far North born and bred, Phat Love is more than a band, it is a movement and a collective. With each member bringing their own style and influences, they seamlessly blend their large array of instruments and voices across multiple genres. Predominantly considered Funk/Hip-Hop, their music fuses fun and heartfelt rap and rhyme with mind blowing, skilfully presented instrumentals intertwined with soulful female vocals.
