Mall Grab & Speed Are Playing A Co-Headline Show Next Month

The event is hosted by Mall Grab's label, Steel City Dance Discs alongside undisputed hardcore communal hub and record label Last Ride Records.

Cross-genre line ups are the future.

London based, Newcastle bred underground music king Mall Grab will be performing a co-headline show alongside Sydney based hardcore unit SPEED in his hometown of Newcastle. The party will take place on Friday the 16th of December at The Cambridge Hotel alongside Downside, C.R.T.B, Mauler, Claire O'Brien and Anika. 

The event is hosted by Mall Grab's label, Steel City Dance Discs alongside undisputed hardcore communal hub and record label Last Ride Records.

SPEED are a Eora/Sydney based hardcore outfit that are are breaking down boundaries in an era of hardcore music that is being revolutionised by new and diverse voices. Their music is a rousing call to arms, a wake up call for all music communities against intolerance. They consistently cross racial barriers with their members diverse cultural perspectives, as well as calling out racism, xenophobia and toxic masculinity that exist in the hardcore scene.

Mall Grab has just released his critically acclaimed debut album What I Breathe, solidifying himself as a production legend and one of Australia's best contemporary dance exports. 

What I Breathe is Mall Grab's most polished body of work to date, as he toes the line between DJ tool, mind bending producer and reflective, somber songwriter and crafter. It features Brendan Yates of Turnstile, Novelist, D Double E and Nia Archives, and sees him turn to an emotive brand of dance music that evokes love, infatuation and euphoric desire.
