Cold Crush presents Promoe & Cosmic of Looptroop Rockers Sweden and special guest The Tongue, DJ Ology plus DJs RETALI8 & D*PHY

Hailing from Sweden, Looptroop have enjoyed over 15 years as the most prominent Hip Hop group in Europe. In 2001 Promoe released his first solo album Government Music, and has since released four successful LPs on his own and 3 others with Looptroop Rockers. Beginning his rap career at the age of 15, Promoe is highly skilled MC. His underground Hip Hop, flavoured with Jamaican and Dancehall influences, is often political and always personal. In Australia he received acclaim for his single These Walls Dont Lie, inspired by the death of Aussie graffiti artist Bingo in 2004. On his last Australian tour, Promoe brought his audience to tears whilst performing the song. Cosmic will join Promoe as his DJ, as well as bringing his own skills to the mic.

For the pair, music is about communicating what's going on in the world. They now bring their powerfully crafted show to connect with audiences all over Australia. The Tongue is widely regarded as one of Australia's most imaginative and skillful MCs.

After forging a reputation as fierce battle MC (and representing Australia at the Battle 4 Supremacy in 2005) The Tongue was signed to Sydney label Elefant Traks. His 2006 debut EP Bad Education spawned two hit singles The Punch and title track Bad Education both of which received heavy rotation on triple j. 2007 saw the release of his breakthrough debut album Shock And Awe, and riding the success of jazzy love song Real Thing his tour sold-out 10 shows around the nation.
