——— BAPARIReturning from their second European tour of 2024, Bapari will be based in Los Angeles through spring and is open for bookings. Most recently their production can be heard on 'Eusexua', the title track of the forthcoming FKA Twigs album. Earlier this year they made their DJ debuts in Texas at touching infinite, in Tokyo at Morse and in Europe with stops at Sonic Acts Festival in Amsterdam, RSO in Berlin and the Boiler Room stage at Primavera Festival in Barcelona.
Bapari's third EP ‘Oasis’ (Halcyon Veil, 2023) featured collaborations with singers Lolahol and Kidä. ‘Oasis’ was featured in Mixmag, Resident Advisor, Interview Mag, Flaunt and more. Previously, they released their EP ‘Stamina’ with the Mexico City label NAAFI and their 2021 release “Daybreak” was named a best track of 2021 by Resident Advisor. Bapari is a five-time Boiler Room headliner and has hosted the monthly show Puffy on NTS Radio since 2019. Their music has been featured in recent campaigns for the fashion brands YSL Beauty, i.am.gia, Barragán, Marshall Columbia and Wildfang as well as the smart ring company Ōura, and the NFT platform Foundation. They have also created and composed soundtracks for designers No Sesso, Helena Eisenhart and 5000 Lab for New York Fashion Week.
——— VV PETE X UTILITY
VV Pete is emerging as one of the most distinctive and electrifying voices of Australia’s new wave of rap. The Sydney-based rapper and singer blends razor-sharp hooks, booming club beats and global dance influences into a sound built for international impact. Early comparisons to Missy Elliott, Ice Spice and Lizzo followed the worldwide breakout of her 2022 debut single Bussit, which entered rotation on legendary New York hip-hop station Hot 97. Alongside producer UTILITY, she delivered club anthems like Jordan 1s and Bacardi Papi, earned multiple Sydney Music Arts and Culture Awards (Song of the Year, Best Live Act, Next Big Thing), and marked major milestones including a Times Square billboard portrait, a New York Fashion Week runway appearance, touring Australia with Denzel Curry, and twice headlining the Sydney Opera House within a single year. Vv Pete isn’t building momentum — she’s accelerating fast.
At the creative helm is UTILITY, executive producer and creative director of Vv Pete’s debut mixtape VARVIE WORLD. A Sydney-based producer, composer and founder of the Trackwork label, UTILITY defies easy categorisation. His boundary-pushing work spans releasing music by experimental pioneer Alvin Lucier, collaborating with Kelman Duran (Beyoncé’s Renaissance), and producing 3badman, the first album ever recorded inside an Australian maximum-security prison. Renowned for artistic risk-taking and community-driven projects, he has also been instrumental in curating and touring cutting-edge local and international talent. Together, Vv Pete and UTILITY represent a bold, future-facing vision of global club rap.
