Sydney, Australia based collective Iron Gate Sound are back with their latest track WICKEDEST, featuring Birmingham, UK based emcee RTkal

Sydney collective Iron Gate Sound come in heavy with ‘Wickedest’, the first track off their forthcoming EP. Making a name for themselves online, Iron Gate Sound has developed a strong following dropping mixtapes, mashups and dubs from some of the biggest names in Jamaican music. With this release, the long-time stalwarts of the Sydney reggae-dancehall scene find themselves diving deep into hard-hitting UK grime and dubstep influences.

‘Wickedest’ features the magnetic vocals of the UK’s RTKal, commanding with energy and unrivalled flair over solid basslines and heavy industrial drums. The grimey production shows a new direction for original Iron Gate Sound members Flip and Gilsun, now officially joined by long-time friend & collaborator Kid Fiction.

“The UK grime and dubstep sound has always been a big part of what we do, especially in our live shows”, says Gilsun, “Producing an EP focused on that sound and working with vocalists of this calibre has been an incredible experience for us”.

The release also marks the return of Iron Gate Records, an Australian imprint that has already worked with some of the biggest names in reggae and dancehall such as Sizzla and Lutan Fyah on the 2014 ‘Lion Inna Den riddim’ release.

The ‘Different Hours’ EP will drop in late 2019 and features collaborations with vocalists from the UK and Jamaica including Chiedu Oraka, Juiceman and dub poet Michael St George.

“ ‘Wickedest’ is an earnest example of the strength of the Australian rap and urban scene“ – Future Magazine.
