Live Review: SOUNDCLOUD WRAP: Akouo

Tasmanian beat producer AKOUO has just released his debut single 'Last Time' thanks to forward thinking Australian label DIE HIGH records. 

Ahead of a string of tour dates around the country to promote the release, we caught up with AKOUO to get a feel for what he's been listening to lately... Check out his favourite 10 sounds of the week!

ELIZABETH ROSE 'Sensibility'

"Elizabeth Rose is an undeniable talent destined for enormous things. Sensibility is a perfect example of that."

BONOBO 'Antenna'

"The aural textures Bonobo uses are so intricate. I want his brain."

ABJO 'Oscillate'

"This track makes me feel like I'm a ghost floating through the final scene of the last Matrix movie."

COIN BANKS 'Think Of You' ft. Homeboy Sandman, Tom Scott, Anders and Vanilla

"I've heard Coin's unreleased album and yeah, just forget what you thought you knew about Australian hip hop. That thing is going gonna blow some minds, beleedat!"

EXMAG 'Fresh Prince Situation' ft. Branx, Gibbz and Jason Huber

"Those drums man, argh! Incredibly lush future fonk."

LETHERETTE x DORIAN CONCEPT 'D&T' (Slick Shoota ReThink)

"I'm new to the sounds of Slick Shoota, but damn I'm hooked. Expect to hear this joint in particular in any set I play in the near future."

FLAXO 'Erode'

"1:59. Oh. My. God"

STRAND 'Ain't Nothing But A B Thang' (OM UNIT Remix)

"Om Unit's synth game is on another level. The man knows things that the rest of us don't."

BRETON 'S Four'

"A very unique piece this one, keep an eye on Brenton for sure"

DREAMERS DELIGHT 'We Had One' (Original Mix)

"Reminds me of drinking beers around a fire barrel in winter with the homies."
