Genre Cult

Hit the streets of Cairo with Eugene and Alex as Genre Cult looks into Mahraganat. Auto-Tuned Arabic gangsta rap with a comedic flair. This music has been becoming more and more popular in Egypt over the last few years. Listen as the boys fumble over pronunciations and lack of understanding the Arabic lyrical content, but also talk to Mahraganat producer and MC Michael from Tamer + Michael (with some Skype gremlins messing up the quality a little).

Eugene, Alex and Jake are here. 2014 - a year for dope trax? Yes, mos def... Join the boys as we go thru our favs of the past year. Also featuring guest lists from Traxman and Velatix. Woo and Sophia too. It's Genre Cult.

Bassline s'orrite n'that innit. The sound of the north: Bassline, Niche, 4x4 is what the Genre Cult lads look into this month. From its early beginnings in speed garage, to the happy organ pop that hit the charts, Eugene and Alex look at it all. Including interviews with Northern Line Records creator, producer DJ Paleface, and the producer of the forthcoming Drop: The Story of Bassline documentary.

Get your Trax returns in. Recorded live at Melbourne's best bar Forgotten Worlds, this End of Financial Year special of Genre Cult features Alex, Eugene and Gaming Cult's Jake Innes talking about their favourite trax of the first half of 2014. Including guest picks from TOM CREW's Foxy, Club ESC bros Air Max '97 and Aspartame as well as Grime local legend Strict Face.

Birthed deep in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal, Gorge is an electronic music genre inspired by rock climbing. Championed now by Japanese Artist Hanali it is an organic cacophony of percussion and noise. This month Genre Cult looks deep into the Mystery of Gorge joined by Guest Matt Watson (aka Other Places) who has toured and collaborated with Hanali. Say Gorge. Don't Say Art.

Our second live event coming up soon.. #traxdeductible

Garage. I don't care about garage. Listen to this, it don't sound like garage. Who told you that I make garage? This is the Grime episode of Genre Cult, not Garage. Giving respects to the lords of Bow this month the Genre Cult boys delve into the icy world of instrumental Grime. Talking to new up and coming producer Strict Face from Adelaide, as well as one of the most well regarded Grime DJs worldwide, DJ Sir Spyro from Rinse FM's weekly Grime Show. Hold Tight, Keep it Locked.
