VOLATYLE & PHABLS //
Hailing from the blue mountains, west of sydney, volatyle & phabls are a m.c / dj duo who are at the forefront of the growing hiphop scene here in Australia. With both members handling production duties, Volatyle fronts the duo as a solo emcee, spitting hard hitting lyrics with twisted topics and an in your face attitude. Phabls holds down the turntables cutting up samples and live mixing and doesn't shy away from the mic, also managing to deliver solid backing vocals. With an energetic live performance inspired by the 90s era of hiphop, they have stayed true to the classic boom bap sound, deeply rooted in there style, which they have claimed and made their own. With over a decade under their belts, they are no strangers to the stage.
