Australian outfit Hermitude are on a dramatic rise with the launch of their latest album and single ‘HyperParadise’!

Hermitude formed in 2001 when Blue Mountains duo Luke Dubs (Luke Dubber) and Elgusto (Angus Stuart) paired up with a shared love of beats and turntablism. The offspring of professional musicians, they’d performed together in jazz and funk bands since their early teens.

Over the last few years, Hermitude’s sound has progressed from Cuban- influenced rhythms and hip hop into more electronic territory. Since embracing more instrumental hip hop and electronic relative ‘future beats’, artists such as Glitch Mob and DJ Krush have started dropping Hermitude tracks in their live sets.

‘HyperParadise’ is Hermitude hitting the bullseye of their artistic vision, a beautifully inventive record of future beats and electronica. The songs are bubbling with personality: choruses leap out of songs demanding an emotional response, differing for each listener. It wouldn’t be hard to imagine the more notably adventurous R&B/soul vocalists wishing they could get their hands on the likes of ‘All of You’ and the track we have today, ‘HyperParadise’!
