How Motez’s Experiences as a Refugee in Iraq Have Shaped His Music
Refugees are some of the strongest, most resilient people. They’re tough, determined, and not afraid to chase their dreams. Since Motez began making dance music almost a decade ago, he has consistently explored new sounds and has not held back from diving into deeply philosophical topics about the human condition. Perhaps it’s because he has already overcome some extremely adverse circumstances. Motez was born in Baghdad, where he survived Saddam Hussein’s rule in Iraq and lived through the Gulf War. He eventually moved to Australia in 2006, where he’s lived ever since. Since then, he has emerged as one of Australia’s most inventive music producers, amassing millions of streams and performing at various festivals across the globe. However, despite all the wins, he has never forgotten...
Grammy-Nominated “Cola” Duo Elderbrook and CamelPhat Reunite for New Single, “Body”
Lightning has struck for the third time after CamelPhat and Elderbrook reunited for “Body,” a brand new collaboration from the famed “Cola” artists. The pair, who were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording back in 2018 for “Cola,” have once again joined forces for what sounds like another house music classic. The anthemic “Body” picks right up where “Cola” left off, with a disco-inspired funk and house hybrid that could soundtrack an Austin Powers rollerskating scene. That aesthetic is mirrored in the official “Body” music video, a kaleidoscopic, 3D-animated visual depicting the cityscapes of Seoul, Korea. Check it out below. Elderbrook and CamelPhat also joined for...

Former “Headbangers Ball” host Riki Rachtman spoke with Elliott Fullam of Little Punk People yesterday about his new Gimme Metal TV show called “The Ball” and he also went into more detail about his Lemmy bullet that he received as a personal gift.
