XZEL (Gold Coast)
Ghetto Symphony - Out now
There’s no denying Gold Coast
Emcee XZEL is a passionate man
dedicated to his craft, spending five years
perfecting Ghetto Symphony to ensure this
album serves up everything he always hoped
it would – delivering a street journalistic
approach on life, covering the many issues
Australian men and the wider society go
through daily, as well as showing people you
don’t have to own expensive instruments to
create any masterpiece, as the album title
suggests. The 15 tracks infuse hip hop with rock, soul and R&B to create a vivid
collage of modern and defining Australian music. XZEL’s lyrics ooze his ambition to
further social awareness in order for any indifference to be discussed - resolutions
to be found without wars. The tracks are diverse, yet complement each other
making for a unique listening journey. XZEL plans to tour soon - in the meantime
you can check out his unique vocal style by getting Ghetto Symphony on iTunes at

PURPLE ZAIN (Gold Coast/Tweed)
Supervision - Oct 31 on EeZePeZe Music
Gig: Launch Party in Tweed Heads at The Dolphins Hotel, Oct 31
Last time LiQUiFY caught up with Purple Zain he was atop a speaker stack
waving his shirt around like a cowboy before jumping off and risking certain
death, that luckily didn’t eventuate at an off chops Guttermouth show. Sounds
like he’s been hectic since then too, producing his second rock opera known
as Supervision from his home studio in Coolanghetto. With personal interests
listed on his Facebook page such as “I used to love
guitar but now all I want to play is my Akai MPK25
and Ableton Live9”, this album is one fantastic
journey, inspired by the electro sound of Zain’s
time spent as guitarist with Gold Coast band Zeus
Baby. The electro-synth rock opera follows the plot
set in the year 3084 when a psychiatry registrar is
searching for the definitive cure for mental illness.
See Zain perform the entire album at the Launch
Party ‘cause you’re invited.
