[MUSIC: Interview] Rudimental
It was little surprise that BRAG’s original interview slot with UK DnB sensations Rudimental was postponed. The evening before our scheduled chat, the band’s new single, ‘Waiting All Night’, hit number one in the UK single charts. You’d expect nothing less than a gigantic celebration and you can’t begrudge the band a little lie-in after a couple of shandies.

[MUSIC: Interview] Truckfighters

[MUSIC: Interview] Opiuo
Opiuo Funk ’n’ Bass By Jo Campbell Oscar Davey-Wraight is not your run-of-the-mill beat maker. Specialising in funkadelic melodica and glitch hop, this New Zealand-born, Melbourne-based producer is an old-fashioned artist, as his recent Butternut Slap EP series attests. Davey-Wraight’s intricate and diverse production could be described as being a funky trip through The Matrix [...]
