The Ripe is set to launch a series of monthly shows titled
BLOOM

Every BLOOM will host a series of different musicians, artists and DJs that are doing incredible things in the Australian music industry. The artists are hand picked by the team at The Ripe, constantly on the search for the next big thing.
BLOOM is all about good people partying together to some of the best musical talent Australia has to offer. It is a cheaper alternative for music lovers who want a night out with amazing music, good vibes and fantastic people.
BLOOM I will play host to live performances from Cosmo’s Midnight, Wave Racer and Silent Jay with DJ sets from Airwolf and The Ripe DJs @ The Liberty Social on the 23rd of August.
Line-up:
COSMO’S MIDNIGHT
It has been a huge year for Cosmo’s Midnight. The duo, consisting of twin brothers Cosmo and Pat, have just released their debut EP
Surge
to world wide acclaim, gaining recognition on countless international blogs as well as radio play on triple j and college radio in the US. They have also supported heavy hitters such as
XXYYXX
and
Cashmere Cat
, and last year they won a remix competition with
Flume
’s track ‘
Sleepless
’. Cosmo’s Midnight are busy in the studio working on a few exciting remixes and have also just been announced to play Outside In Festival alongside
Freddie Gibbs, Zomby
,
BadBadNotGood
,
Andras Fox, Oscar Key Sung
and
Oisima
.
WAVE RACER
Wave Racer
‘s blend of pixelated future-funk is fast taking Australia by storm. From mind-bending Jersey Club anthems to a sun-drenched take on modern Hip Hop instrumentals, his sound is often (and best) described as driving down Mario Kart’s Rainbow Road to the club of your dreams. Having just released his double-A side single ‘
Stoopid/Rock U Tonite
’ and a bootleg remix for
Ghost Town DJs
‘
My Boo
’, Wave Racer is now amongst one of the most played artists for 2013 on popular Australian national broadcaster
triple j
whilst appearing on BBC Radio 1 and topping the indicative Hype Machine charts at #2.
AIRWOLF
Airwolf has been around the Melbourne club circuit for years, engaging crowds with his eclectic sets and taking snaps of people in the throws of the party. During the last year Airwolf has been extra busy, producing tracks, making remixes and traveling the country. Airwolf is now not only a household name in Melbourne, but nationally recognised as one of Australia’s best DJs. In the last 12 months Airwolf has remixed
Pigeon, Sun City
and
Parachute Youth
, released two widely successful singles, played countless festivals including Falls Festival, and even compiled a mix up for
triple j
.
SILENT JAY
Melbourne based producer Silent Jay is one of those ones to watch. With a huge number of killer tracks, Silent Jay has found himself supporting the likes of
Cahsmere Cat, Onra, Shlomo
and
Lapalaux
. Judging by the huge amount of supports this guy is getting there is no doubt he is well respected by music promoters and producers world wide.
He has amassed a huge catalog of releases, with different tracks appearing on a vast number of various mixtapes online. Definitely one to watch from the new era of Australian producers.
