The Low End Theory

Kylie Auldist, Melbourne’s high-priestess of soul, is our special guest on this week’s episode of The Low End Theory. Having toured the world playing every major festival as the main vocalist for heavyweight deep funk act The Bamboos, achieving commercial success with the mega-hit, This Girl, whilst working with Cookin On 3 Burners and releasing album after album of great solo music on both Tru Thoughts and Freestyle Records, Kylie knows a thing or two about this music business. She also has a new album out, This Is What Happiness Looks Like on Soul Bank Music, which is the funkiest slice of pop boogie you will hear all year. As always, we bring our usual amount of humor, slapstick and banter over plenty of hiphop, funk, soul n disco beats.

This week, we chat with legendary hiphop MC Andy Cooper (Ugly Duckling/The Allergies). In an extremely funny interview, he waxes lyrical with us about what it was like recording and playing with one of the most revered alternative hiphop groups of all time, currently being in a band with 2 dudes from the UK whilst being based in Long Beach and he also discusses his brand new album, L.I.S.T.E.N., that brings the party in a way that only Andy Cooper can. As always, we bring our usual amount of fun and banter over plenty of hiphop, funk, soul n disco beats.

This week, hiphop heavyweight Ras Kass stops in. You may know him from the work he’s put in with Kurupt, Xzibit, Coolio and Tha Dog Pound and his numerous albums that have been produced by everyone from Dr Dre to Pete Rock. That said, you may not know some of the stories behind this MC who was awarded 5 Mics by The Source whilst seeing firsthand the pitfalls and highs of a music industry that has changed before our eyes. Ras also chats to the boys about his new ‘vinyl playlist’ called ‘Im Not Clearing Shvt‘ and features the must have track, 5 Mikes.
