Take Me Elsewhere

A 14 track jazz rap/hip-hop album (1h 7m 44s) — released March 16th 2015 on Equinox Recordings

The Raah Project is the musical collaboration between composer/producer/vocalist Ryan Ritchie and violinist/composer Tamil Rogeon, both originally from the Melbourne hip hop septet True Live.

In 2009 the duo went into the studio with a full 22-piece horn band and 17-piece string section and created their debut album, Score. The record was blend of jazz orchestration, soul melodies, and hip hop bump. Score was positively received by the press, both in Australia and around the world, featuring in The Independent, Vogue, Playboy and Orange Press. It was welcomed by tastemakers such as Ennio Styles, Benji B, Osunlade and Kev Beadle. Gilles Peterson featured the track 'Trick Of The Light' on his Brownswood Bubblers Volume 5 compilation.

The band performed at festivals including Melbourne Music Week, Australasian Worldwide Music Expo and Melbourne International Jazz Festival on the back of the album release.

The duo spent 2014 in the studio to give a worthy sequel to Score. The new album, Take Me Elsewhere, of 14 tracks blends elements of electronica, jazz, hip hop and soul with cinematic orchestral soundscapes. The debut single, 'Kill Me In The Summer', has been described by Gilles Peterson as "Hitchcock meets Hyperdub" and by Double J Radio as "undeniable proof that Australian acts are producing some of the most exciting left-of-centre music anywhere right now".

This intense, cinematic electro/hip hop banger from Melbourne's The RAah Project is undeniable proof that Australian acts are producing some of the most exciting left-of-centre music anywhere right now. Between the part industrial, part classical, part urban soundscape, the intriguing lyrics and the overall darkness of this tune, it's addictive listening and one of the most exciting Australian releases so far this year - Double J
