n most mornings I wake up and stare at the ceiling for like ten minutes, contemplating the day ahead of me; thinking of which person I need to contact, the emails I need to write or which article I have to finish. It’s in this somewhat relaxed state in between sleep and full consciousness I see myself hiking halfway up a favourite mountain of mine on a fresh powder day. If you have ever been, or regularly go backcountry snowboarding, you will know that the hard sweat and pain of physical and mental

exertion of getting to the top is just as much of a reward as it is to finally shred down the mountain, after six hours of hiking for a sixty second run - it’s a small price to pay for such a huge amount of stoke.

For me the parallel of the hundreds of phone calls I make, the hundreds of emails I write and answer, the thousands of photos and words that I edit in order to create this magazine, add up to hiking up that mountain. Whenever I speak about Heelside I always talk about ‘us’ or ‘we’ are doing this or that

in a story or article. I guess we are an extended family of incredibly talented writers, imaginative photographers, designers and artists and not to mention the unbelievable riders, brands, shops and companies that drive this industry. At the end of the day I have done this issue on my own, no partner, no publishing company, no one to really guide me and tell me what I should or should not do and that’s where I find myself again on the side of the mountain in waist deep powder, saying to myself

You Can Do It ! Just Keep Going! If you have an idea and you are passionate and love what it is that you do, You Can Do It! I know you can!

ot so long ago, if you touted the term Aussie Hip Hop over beers at the pub you’d probably be sent packing to the sound of laughter and the odd shout of ‘on your bike son’ or ‘what the fuck are you on about’. It was during this same time that a couple of young fellas from the Southern hills of Adelaide were hard at it, ripping lyrics and beats with a uniquely localised feel. They were unwavering and steadfast in defying the trends and expectations, to create something different, something Australian and something of their own. They, like many of their underground counterparts and friends at the time, couldn’t possibly have envisaged where it may lead. Fast forward to the present day and what can only be described as the phenomenal uprising of Australian rap and hip hop artists, stands as testimony to what can be achieved when someone stays true to their own path and never resigns their convictions. Set to embark on another massive tour of Australia, Europe and the United States, we caught up with HILLTOP HOODS main man on the decks DJ Debris to talk about it all - the rise to the top of that hill and some of the madness that goes along with being there.

The explosive rise and continuous ascent of Hilltop Hoods has been life-changing for the three men in the middle, a humbling and yet fascinating achievement both professionally and personally for MC Pressure, MC Suffa and DJ Debris, but are they really living the dream? Debris is quick to answer, “Definitely, it doesn’t get much better … we thought we’d be stuck in factories when we were younger, we all enjoyed making music and were juggling it with our workload but one day it just kind of took off for us. We were in the right place at the right time. The hip hop movement in Australia has evolved definitely … when we started we had no idea.

We didn’t even think it would be a possibility that we would ever be accepted as a mainstream genre of music but in the last four or five years it’s just completely gained momentum, and now hip hop is dominating a lot of the charts, it’s come a long way.”

Now a main drawcard for any festival promoter, the group amasses huge crowds of rawkus fans and commands attention every step of the way, pumping out a limber lyrical array of hits and anthems that are hard not to bounce to. Along with success comes tales of carnage and chaos – but how many nosebleeds actually occur down the front? Debris laughs, “Quite a few. Yeah, people love crowd surfing – no hands and then down on the barrier ... nah, on the most part security do a great job.”

After playing massive crowds at shows like Big Day Out and experiencing an elevated view comes the contentious question of the D-barrier system – for fans there’s arguably nothing more frustrating than slicing up your time between bands, bars and barrier queues to find out you can’t be up the front to see one of your favourite artists. Is it a necessary evil or just a nuisance? “From a punter’s perspective yes, from a performer’s perspective I think it’s a great thing. I mean someone died because there wasn’t a D-barrier years ago. I think we should have had D-barriers since the ‘70s looking at it from that perspective, you know? No one should lose their life going to a gig - it’s a pretty serious thing.” Is it just here that it’s like that - what’s it like around the world? “We played at Glastonbury I think 3 years ago and there were something like a quarter of a million people there … we went to watch AMY WINEHOUSE - I’ve never seen a crowd, it was a like an organism. It was moving 10 feet to the left and then back to the right … you just had to follow it which was all right if you were out in the open but if you were up against that barrier and it’s pushing you into the barrier, you’d be having the air pop through your lungs. We’re into safety issues all the time, like we just played Bunbury and two kids went up on the lighting rig scaffold, up the back, and we stopped the show … we made the crowd boo them down for 5 minutes. If one kid fell that would be a tragic thing so it’s easier to just stop the show.”

Hilltop Hoods played Sydney and Melbourne late last year alongside the infamous melodical wordsmith EMINEM (labelled as ‘sickening’ in 2001 by then Prime Minister John Howard). They played massive arena shows in front of capacity

crowds. Secretly being fame whores like we all are on the inside, we had to ask Debris - How the hell was that? What’s EMINEM really like? “It was our first stretch on the road after a while so it was a lot of fun, ummm, we didn’t get to meet him – he like pulled up in a Torago, went straight on stage and back into the Torago.” Did you just shrug your shoulders and laugh - what do you guys think about that? “I kind of expected it to be honest – he’s pretty large and I’m sure he’s seen a lot of humans do a lot of weird things around him that you’d never expect … he’s probably learned from that and the best way to play is to keep your distance I guess.” You guys still love to interact with fans though, you’re not like that are you? “No totally - well I think that’s the fundamental difference between Australians and Americans I guess, as well, as that whole celebrityism, whereas here, we get amongst it.”

With their sixth studio album DRINKING FROM THE SUN just landed (also their third ARIA chart number one album) the production process hasn’t changed much over the years, with about 3 to 4 years between albums and plenty of shows filling the gaps. “We’re going to try and speed it up a little – we have this thing where we don’t write when we’re on the road, we don’t record ... the guys write bits and pieces but it’s mainly when we come off the road that the bulk of an album gets done - it’s just a matter of juggling touring and studio life and once we get better with our time management we’ll have more albums sooner.”

“... a lot of humans do a lot of weird things around him ...”

Being from the ‘burbs in Adelaide, you got to be a skater right? Do you manage your time to still get out on a deck? “I’m not a skater anymore, I’ve got a fear that if I fall off I might break a bone and not be able to do what I need on stage – I realise I’m not as coordinated as I used to be. I was pretty into it when I was, I don’t know, about 14 through to 17 or 18, somewhere there. I was a Santa Cruz man – there was two camps back then, Santa Cruz and Powell … I think there’s still a board in my shed, I hoard a lot of things.” So was it vert, rails or downhill for you? “I used to do a lot of ramp and street skating. If I jump on my board now, it’d be a matter of who I’d run into before I fall off (laughs) … I did it (downhill) on my standard board and they looked like bananas back then – they’re a lot sleeker these days. When I was a skater, hip hop was kind of the primary form of music to listen to, then it kind of went into a punk era … it’s come full circle, I guess you can listen to any music when you’re skating just to get the Dutch courage up.”

Lately HEELSIDE has been pushing everyone for their little bit of gnar - ‘share the pain’ we say and it’s no exception in this case. “I landed on my face once while skating downhill really quick to get to a train, and the story is of the rock you don’t see in front of you. The board stopped and I kept going. I wasn’t wearing a helmet

or anything and my face basically stopped me – I’m lucky I don’t have a scar from it actually and I scar pretty badly.”

On the eve of another world tour a lot of us are frothing to see how deep the HILLTOP HOODS story can go. The talk leads to what may lay ahead for the masters of Australian hip hop? “We started our Australian tour in June, then we’re off to Europe for 3 weeks then back to the rest of Australia … then the US and North America later in the year.” Is it possible you guys could be doing this in 5 or 10 years time - is the success of this Adelaide trio capable of holding steady for that long? “I’ve always wondered that in the back of my head … I dunno, we just put out one album at a time. This album has done better than any other album so far so it’s hard to say really how many albums until we hang it up.

There will have to be a day eventually but um nah, I’ll probably still be doing this and I guess if we do wind up in 10 years we’ll be back on our old jobs - Suffa will be producing and I run a studio, so I’ll probably do studio stuff, Pressure is into real estate so I could see him doing that.” Would Debris buy a house off that man though? He laughs ... “I probably would actually.”

Brett Orr - Foundations

This album has quickly become a regular on my playlist and is one of the most soulful albums I’ve heard coming from Australian shores in recent times. Brett is based on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Queensland and the laid back attitude of that area is evident throughout this album.

Brett himself is a pianist and his amazing voice breathes style, charisma and passion into every track on this album. His piano is the foundation for the majority of the songs and the cruisy beats and base lines are built around this perfectly.

Brett is responsible for the drums, percussion, samples, keyboards and vocals and is a remarkable talent in every essence of the word. Guest members Max Sportelli, Mark Williams, Phil Roach, Chris Stevenson, Jack Loa and Ross Hunter all contributed in their own way to a stunning masterpiece.

Funky beauty is the best way to describe this album and it has a way of brightening the darkest of moods. Soul music at its best, when honesty is something that you don’t just hear, you feel.

Revolutionary and uniquely Australian, Brett uses the croak of an Australian frog as a baseline in one track - brilliant. Also, an incredibly uplifting didgeridoo/drum and bass rocker. He uses an array of instruments, tempos and melodies throughout the album allowing you to enjoy the journey.

You feel ‘Foundations’ is 21st century soul and if you like laid back funky, blues type grooves this is right up your alley. A pleasure to listen to repeatedly.

The Mank - Self Titled EP

The Mank is a group based in south-east Queensland (Brisbane, Sunshine Coast) and their sound combines reggae elements with hip hop and some serious funky electronic backing.

The smooth vocals of Mitch ‘Mesta’ Wallace mixes the delicate form of Emceeing and singing beautiful melodies into one and he lights up every track with his remarkable voice.

The banging production comes from Jonny ‘Mr Boinkin’ and throughout the EP the production quality really stands out - unbelievable. The beats, also provided by ‘Mr Boinkin’, are reggae/ hip hop with dubstep elements offering a very unique sound.

Scratching and sampling are done by DJ Amtop, including a wicked Biggie sample in the opening track Blow My Mind. All samples and scratches are tightly placed throughout the tracks and really brings them to life.

The Mank have the full ensemble - beautiful guitar riffs from Christophe Langlasse mixed with upbeat saxophone from Ben Harrison creates a vibe that’s hard to replicate and impossible to ignore. Danny Crumbs on the drums adds that extra layer perfectly and a guest appearance from a female MC Miss K on Sleepwalking is a passionate, intellectual verse performed with casual style.

The Mank are seriously one of a kind and this EP is just a snippet of good things to come for a band with such character and diversity. I was struggling to find comparisons to other bands but The Mank are a sound of their own crossing a number of genres and sure to turn some heads. Go get ya copy now!!!

PHFat - You Are Going To Die

PHFat are a group from Cape Town, South Africa making some seriously sick noise. The music is psychedelic bass-rap and is funky shit, music to party to!!

The group is made up of the Beat Machine ‘Narch’, and the two gnarly rap machines ‘Mike Zietsman’ and ‘Disco’ shredding lyrics with style and assertion. They are skaters you might recognise on the South African IGSA stop - bombing hard and skateboarding is regularly brought up throughout the album.

The beats used throughout the album have a futuristic feel and the deep baselines realign the spine regularly while both MCs are smooth, versatile and solid.

Each track is both intense and captivating and the production and beats are out there. Now we don’t condone taking drugs at Heelside but some hallucinogens mixed with this album would send you to the moon and back. Wicked tripper/party music.

It’s an album that is made to have you moving and has to be played loud, really loud. Psychedelic in every aspect of the word, the album is a tangent itself, Breakfastloopjam, although just an instrumental is speakerbanging, head bursting music. The album also includes instrumentals to The Dark and Kill the Universe, which are tracks in which the MCs lay down some tight honest verses.

(Check the YouTube videos.)

PHFat are unique involving elements from hip hop to electro to psychedelic bass in their beats and the MCs rhyme with an arrange of flows surely to have you interested in what’s next. Good shit lads.

SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS

Words | Jamieson Mackenzie In reality, we weren’t wrecking anything, we were simply skating a small set of stairs. Our Lady of the Rosary is living proof that skateboarding is not only a safe form of exercise but it’s also a very social one that should be praised and spread, so that more kids in today’s technology ridden era can get out and safely enjoy themselves.

alking through this quaint school, atop a hill by the beach in beautiful Caloundra (Queensland, Australia), I find myself reminiscing of my times in primary school. Those were the days. I noticed all the kids’ backpacks hanging in front of their classrooms, but what caught my attention was nearly every second bag had a skateboard, helmet and pads accompanying it. This was no ordinary school. I wish it was my school!

Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic School has set up a skate park for their students, with riders ranging from Prep to Year 7.

all the teachers and parents. There are skate lessons after school one day a week, which the teachers say is mostly a parents’ social commune. The parents even have BBQ’s occasionally from the deck perched out above the tennis courts, in watchful sight of the young shredders.

I’m sure if there are any parents reading this concerned about injuries, worry not, the skate park creates less injuries per year than the playground or footy field. In fact, there has only been one fracture since the ramps first went up five years ago.

The park occupies half of the tennis court and was mostly constructed by parents. We were taken aback by forty odd kids, most smaller than ya belly button, strapping up kneepads, tightening each other’s trucks and naming the tricks they were about to stomp, ready to shred over lunch.

I was stoked to see so many happy kids and there was certainly a vibe on the court that day. I’m sure the kids are lucky enough to soak it up five days a week. There were no restrictions on the court – boys and girls of all ages were learning from one another, skating, riding at school.

These kids were fearless and full of the energy that only kids of that age can sustain, smiling ear to ear. The skate park is the place to be at lunch! Even better is the complete support of

When I was younger, skating inside the school would result in a quick run through the lawns to escape an abnormally large security guard Don’t dream of living, live your dreams. who thought we were destroying property.

The Principal, Col O’Brien, is a surfer and skater himself and is the reason for this park being in place, establishing a community that is not only widely accepted but is productive and good for any kid. Schools worldwide, in my eyes, should adopt this method and allow and encourage skateboarding at school. It was incredible to see and I think we have stumbled across the fountain of youth.

To everyone at the school involved in this good work, keep it up and to all the kids, keep shreddin’!

Sharks Kevlar® Jeans are a new age range of Kevlar® jeans designed with the rider in mind. Sure they are designed for Motorcyclists, but so are the leathers we wear to race in. Shark leathers have constructed a new jean using a woven Kevlar® that has been specifically designed to protect riders from abrasion injuries with its exceptional burst strength.

How many times have you gone through the ass of a pair of jeans or shorts whist out doing Heelside Pendys on your favourite hill? Seriously, at $139.00 they are worth every cent, and the built in knee pads (also removable) and stretch panels work really well hugging to your body’s contours.
