The ever evolving sound that defines Def Wish Cast has become a template for past, present and future generations of Australian emcees. Knights of the Underground Table is unanimously one of the greatest albums ever made, and the world eagerly awaits for the original B-Boy crew to share their fire once again. The depth of lyrical intent and the crews creative persona are a testament of their two & a half decades of dedication that shines throughout the highly anticipated EVOLUTION MACHINE. There is no doubt that Def Wish Cast have stepped back into a world that they helped to create; and with this in mind, they are not about to become bystanders; they are in fact more than ready to take on all before them.
The listener is welcomed into the fray by the simple yet effective drum patterns on the aptly named ENTRY, which sets the tone for what lies ahead. The title track EVOLUTION MACHINE elevates the crew and most importantly, the listener through a landscape of reflections that resonates through each kick and snare. Memories of B-Boy battles from days gone by permeate through the hard-hitting Dun Proppa, which for me, is reminiscent of oldschool parties like the Triple Tee P and all the way to St Claires early 90’s where DWC used to ‘run tingz!’ THE POSSIBILITIES and the thought provoking HARD TIMES are tunes which present a deeper and heartfelt series of reflections that give the listener an insight into the world of DWC, whilst DAY TRIPPER is the type of tune that musically builds hype ‘inna ready for battle stylee’ and makes for an elevated heartbeat through the headnodding that seems to organically happen on its own.
Inspired by the grit and passion, complimented by a world class production team that includes Plutonic Lab, Katalyst and The Resin Dogs, it is hard not to feel somewhat inspired by what has been created by these veterans of Australian Hip Hop. Die C, Sereck, Def Wish & DJ Murda One have stepped back into the fray with gusto that is clearly a sign that the break between future releases will now transpire into a continuing presence amongst the masses. One for the traditionalists, tunes for the next generation and a return to a world that is now all the better for their presence. Salute…
