The Get Down.

This week on The Get Down we are joined by our first ever Doctor on the show! But not unlike Dr. Dre, you should not expect any medical advice from this Doctor. Dr Dianne Rodger is an anthropologist and targets her field of research in the importance of Hip-Hop culture. Recently, Dianne has written a book fo rthe 33 1/3 series on the Hilltop Hoods album - The Calling. I was fortunate enough to be one of the participants in her interviews that went into this publication and it was a great opportunity to reminisce on The Calling and allow it to bring back such an amazing nostalgic feeling.Please enjoy this chat as we delve a little deeper into the process.Thank you Dianne!!!Diannne's Instagram: @21di12 The Get Down Beat produced by PTTCwww.linktr.ee/poundtothecredit_officialThe Get Down Logo designed by Ben Tan from @Graphic_tragic(C) Insurgence Productions - All rights reserved. 2020 - 2024

This week on The Get Down we chat with the lovely Kerrie Atherton. I met Kerrie at a friend's book launch and I knew within minutes that I wanted to have her come on the show and share her story. Kerrie wears a lot of hats in life, but her biggest strength is her desire to help others through sharing stories of hope. Kerrie has three books in publication and facilitates community events that showcase ordinary yet extraordinary people overcoming adversity. This was a free flowing conversation that was only cut short due to time restraints. I will definitely have Kerrie come back for another chat soon. Thank You Kerrie! *WARNING* This episode discusses suicide, addiction and other triggering content*Should you require assistance please see links below in the show notes.Find out more about Kerrie.https://storiesofhope.com.au/LIFELINE: 131114Alcoholism Assistance Links:https://www.health.gov.au/topics/alcohol/alcohol-contactsThe Get Down Beat produced by PTTCwww.linktr.ee/poundtothecredit_officialThe Get Down Logo designed by Ben Tan from @Graphic_tragic(C) Insurgence Productions - All rights reserved. 2020 - 2024

This week on The Get Down we are blessed with a chat with Adelaide MC and Producer TAIAHA! In the true meaning of the word TAIAHA is a Māori traditional weapon. Well, TAIAHA lives up to his name and is a fucking weapon on the mic, the boards, in the ring and as a person in general. Super humble and passionate to the bone, TAIAHA sings, raps and speaks from the heart. He has an infectious smile and appears to have no ego, a refreshing trait in hip-hop music. I was very intrigued to chat with TAIAHA on this episode and I am extremely excited to see what he pulls out of his music hat in the future.  A true gentleman of the game.Thanks for the chat bro.Chur!Enjoy, BeatsyTAIAHA'S MUSICApple.https://music.apple.com/au/artist/taiaha/1309983699Spotify.https://open.spotify.com/artist/0mkdBflcuMJzNRX0dV212k?si=R3Dn1mIDQ6mpu8UyHhGJgQYou Tube.https://www.youtube.com/@taiaha_musicThe Get Down Beat produced by PTTCwww.linktr.ee/poundtothecredit_officialThe Get Down Logo designed by Ben Tan from @Graphic_tragic(C) Insurgence Productions - All rights reserved. 2022(C) Insurgence Productions - All rights reserved. 2020 - 2024

This week on The Get Down we are joined by Michael Ormston. Beats and Michael met whilst working together and have so many similarities it was inevitable that they became friends. Music, Youth Work, Disability Support, Red Hair and recently, Sobriety are just a few things commonly shared by these two. This is a serious episode with a bit of fun & honesty in the mix also.

This week on The Get Down we are joined by Matty 'The Jedi' Floyd. Matty is a professional boxer from Perth with a colourful past that appears to be following him despite his efforts to change for the better. I found Matty to be open and honest and I feel for him as I feel he has good intentions, however, he seems to be targeted as he moves into this new chapter in his life. I don't doubt Matty has the resilience to overcome this and achieve his goal of helping other. Keep your eye out for the charity fight coming up next year. Follow Matty on instagram to be kept updated. Thanks Matty, I appreciate it mate.Beats...If you or a child are in immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000) or contact your local police on 131 444.

This week on The Get Down we are joined by Adelaide born and world dominating MC Nelson Dialect. Dialect exploded onto the Hip-Hop scene in Australia at the young age of 14 years old, destroying MC's with his powerful battle rasps that appeared to be years beyond him. Nelson is a humble artist in the truest sense of the words. He has gambled everything for the love of his craft and he has made a safe bet in my opinion . I have known Nelson for a long time now and I have watched him flourish into a truly remarkable MC. It was so good to catch up with him after all these years. Thanks Nelson, I appreciate you bro!Enjoy, BeatsNelson Dialect on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0ciHGUC86265ZD8uPVEs4N?si=uCXStfnxT2uwzTxot4bJsQHigh Focus Recordshttps://www.high-focus.com/home/The Get Down Beat produced by PTTCwww.linktr.ee/poundtothecredit_officialThe Get Down Logo designed by Ben Tan from @Graphic_tragic(C) Insurgence Productions - All rights reserved. 2022(C) Insurgence Productions - All rights reserved. 2020 - 2024

This week on The Get Down on EPISODE 50 we are joined by young entrepreneur and fitness guru Chris Walker. I met Chris in my gym while he was motivating me to work harder in his own hilarious way. I saw something in Chris I liked strait away. He has a unique and infectious personality. I love Chris's vision and what he has in mind for his own future and that of others. He is selfless and humble and displays minimal ego. Ladies, he is single and ready to mingle...

This week on The Get Down we are joined by a very special man who is doing amazing things to help provide people with a better chance in life. The epitome of ;earning from his own mistakes, Ron gives back to society in a way not many others are able to. Ron is a humble and kind hearted man, but it would be a mistake to see his kindness as a sign of weekness. I am extremely grateful to have met Ron and I can already tell I have found a life long friend in Ron. Secretly, on a recent visit to his home, I measured up the spare room to see if my bed and studio would fit...Haha... Ron has his own podcast and company around addiction and the tools to overcome it. Please reach out to Ron should you require his skillset. *Link Below*Thank you Ron, here's to many more coffees and waters in the future old mate.Love ya!

This week on The Get Down we are joined by ex pro boxer turned outlaw motorcycle club member Johnny '2 Guns' Walker. Johnny worked his way into a professional boxing career before succumbing to the allure of an outlaw bikie club. The same way he worked his way up the boxing ranks, he worked himself up the ranks in the club to the position of Sgt at Arms. This journey saw him involved in the unfortunate incident that left one man deceased and himself in prison for the next 8 years. Johnny speaks openly and honestly about his life, the effects his jail time has had on others and what he endeavours to do in his future. I have little doubt Johnny is on the right path of change. Thank you for your time Johnny.Enjoy.

This week on The Get Down, Beats splashed out and hired a professional studio to have a crazy yarn with local Sunny Coast rapper MC WHEELS aka Nathan. Nathan is a skilled MC and has an extremely unique story only he can tell. Filled with optimism, gratitude, courage and love, Nathan's music is a refreshing sound in the Australian Hip-Hop arena. Being bound to his wheelchair, but certainly not defined  by it, Nathan proves that with a good attitude and perseverance, chasing your dreams is not only something you should do, but can achieve! I really enjoyed this chat and look forward to getting to know Nathan better and enjoy the prospect of becoming his friend and creating some music together.

This week on The Get Down Beats chops it up with the one and only Mark Pollard. For those not in the know, Mark was the founder and heartbeat of the infamous Australian Hip-Hop magazine "Stealth"  Stealth magazine was such an integral pert of the scene back then that it was not unlike a record dropping. By that I mean, the anticipation of the release was huge, the professionalism and the quality of content was all high quality and there was a sense of pride when it came to owning a copy. 15 years since its last publication, Mark talks to us about the days of the magazine's hay days, walking us through to what he is up to today. His book, his podcast and his life in America. We discuss the possibility of a 25 year anniversary issue and Mark even flips some questions back onto me! You can take the cat out of the jungle......This was an extremely fun episode and I am very glad we connected.Thank you for your time Mark.I appreciate it!Enjoy!
