We were joined by legendary Australian duo Paris & Peril for an in-depth look into the history of hiphop in Oceania. In case you were unaware, these two got their start back in the mid-1980’s as two of the original B-Boy graffiti artists doing pieces on the train lines, running from the police and dodging rivals as members of Australia’s most legendary graf crew, DMA. Of course, they would then move into large-scale inner-city work as Claim To Fame and would catch the attention of national TV stations and their audiences. Later on, Peril would gain further notoriety as one of Australia’s top hiphop DJ’s, running his own nights for 20+ years and gaining national fame with his group 1200 Techniques winning ARIA awards and playing some massive gigs. We go deep into conversation about all this and more, plus we drop a stack of golden era sounds to make this show a block party special.
