The group features Melbourne based beatmaker and DJ Skomes alongside California-via-Adelaide MC \u0026amp; poet Cazeaux O.S.L.O, not to mention the MUSE, a forever changing third party who completes the creative trinity of the Crates. With a legacy built on releasing a steady flow of cold-crush records and delivering uplifting live performances to the party people, SO.Crates prove that hip-hop’s golden era is not a lost date in time, but a foundational state of mind. Functioning as a considered preview of what to expect from the album to follow, the hypnotic first release 'Stars' is an auditory exploration of what happens when two opposing charges collide; the joyful and the melancholy. Here, layers of instrumentation, samples and vocals sit atop a foundation of grounding beats — the track's roots from which piano samples, live trumpet and vocal embellishments spring. \"When Skomes gets in his stride, it's always a bit of a happy\/sad feeling. It can go either way, like a mood ring\", says Cazeaux O.S.L.O. \"I guess you could say we make mood ring beats, and 'Stars' is no exception\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST: Side A 1.
