At the tail-end of our month on the Groovin’ The Moo tour, Luke and I got to stop in at Triple J to have a chat with Lewi McKirdy and play a few tracks we love. If you missed it and want to hear how bad we are at talking on radio, here’s your chance.
There was even a Donna Summer tribute in there at the end. RIP.

You can now stream the Pepperboy x KIRA collab: First Offence (ft. Main Attraktionz’ Squadda B & Dope G) on SPIN Magazine.
You can follow KIRA, a Bossman family-band made up of Namine, AK Moodie and This Guy, over here.

Speaking of Holiday, you should check out new offerings from Dr. Swicky-Baby. First, his remix for CONGO TARDIS #1 - a fantastic reworking of the group’s best release yet (from the Scattermusic 7”).
Also, take a few seconds to check out a preview of his killer collaboration with Astronomar.

Nayslayer & Thrillstun have released a new video mixtape. The theme is teen romance, and it’s NSFW. Enjoy.
You can also catch them taking over Triple J for an exclusive 20-minute mix tomorrow afternoon from 2pm, or, at Melbourne’s Hi Fi Bar in June! Tickets here.
We’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but never quite got our collective shit together until now. There’s not a lot to be said, other than this: there are no real gimmicks or schtick. It’s a loud, fun, six-hour holiday in a dark, dark underground room. Smoke machines/lazers/strobes will be involved.
Music by:
Bossman DJs
Swick & Tranter (No Brainer/Top Billin’/Enchufada)
Edo (Top Billin’/Opulent)
Polat (Beards/Bossman Records)
June 1st, Mercat Basement. 10pm - Late.
$10 Entry - Email info@bossmanrecords.com for questions/guestlists. RSVP online HERE.
We’re very excited to announce that our next release will come from Melbourne local, Chevy Long, A.K.A Victory Team.
Unlike previous releases, however, Long’s Der Klerb will be unleashed as a double EP on Bossman and our brother label: Wax Waves.
Check out the art below. Worlds colliding never looked so good.
It’ll be a big weekend for Bossman DJs with a completely curated party at Bimbo Deluxe on Sunday night, and now a support slot for GDP, one of the East Coast’s best, most underappreciated rappers. If you’ve ever seen G play before (not to mention the L-Burn dudes), you’ll know this isn’t one to miss. Get acquainted:
It’s a week til Bossman takes over Bimbos for a night of intense but highly questionable music and visuals. Things will happen in this order…
07.30-09.00 // Polat (A/V Set)
09.00-10.00 // Edo
10.00-11.00 // Boy Go Yoko
11.00-12.30 // Bossman DJs (A/V Set)
12.30-Later // Label Allstars Jam
Catch you there, dudes! Remember, it’s free!

Yes/no/maybe - Floral Foam (live MPC ReFlip). from Nic Dureau on Vimeo.
Beatmaker and friend of Bossman, yes/no/maybe, has just dropped a superb video for his live MPC-reflip of Aoi’s Floral Foam (shot by the wonderful Nic Dureau). If you can’t get into this, we’ve got nothing for you.
Also out this week is Aoi’s Steady Dedicated LP, which is available right now as a free download. Every release is another very clear step forward for Aoi, and this is no exception. Let’s just hope the world can stop sleeping on him in 2012. It’s about time.
There’s not a lot to be said here.
The whole Bossman fam will be playing Bimbo Deluxe on April 8th as part of a night we’ll be curating for the (in)famous Best of Both Sides festival. Leave your hangups at home. More details and set times to come.
North Oakland Rapper MondreMAN (of Main Attrakionz fame) has just released a great new mixtape entitled MC ILLIN, which includes a beat from Melbourne producer and friend of Bossman, Naminé. You can grab that track, along with the entire tape, for $5 off bandcamp right now. Too good.
Kwasi’s Bossman release Passportal continues to get great support and feedback from all over the world, including from outlets such as Mess & Noise, Triple R, Scattermusic, Odd Bloggings, and Wax Waves among others.
This week you can catch it as the feature electronic album on Perth’s RTR FM! The station will also be giving away some copies of the EP, so tune in all week if you’re a local!
We also have a few limited edition Passportal American Apparel tees left. Hit us up at info at bossmanrecords dot com ASAP to get one!
Edo & Gilsun take us through some favourite moombahton tracks (and unreleased jams!) for The Ripe Magazine. Consider it your late-summer soundtrack!
