Speeding down a futuristic highway and spanning realms of glimmering electronic pop, the world of Kavi is both sentimental and euphoric. The project of Gadigal-based pop artist, DJ and model Karvesh Pillai, Kavi’s music fuses the grit of club dance-floors and pop sensibilities to backdrop his lyrical explorations of introspection, love and identity.
Fresh off collaborations with Sidney Phillips & Lil Ket, Glu and Shy Jnr in preparation for their debut mixtape, glass boys are reimagining their bittersweet sound for a live show experience.
Hailing from the North West suburbs of Sydney and comprising of producer Ar1zona , and vocalists v.00 and Glacie, the trio blend cloud rap, indie pop, and pop-punk to capture the disorienting highs and lows of growing up in an overstimulated world. Navigating relationships, numbness, and the second gen migrant balancing act of self determination and fulfilling expectations, their tracks are personal and raw.
glass boys flip this mood for their live show. They call upon other local artists from the burgeoning alt-rap and electronic scenes to add elements of Jersey club, UKG, and donk, catapulting their sound from the realm of bedroom listening to something designed for a crowd. Collaboration is at the heart of this process, and all of glass boys’ upcoming work. Stay tuned for their upcoming mixtape tipped to include Jay Cooper, WILDLYF, Ealing, Harvest, Lil Ket and more on the credits list.
