Ready to Go is the second single from Urthboy’s upcoming and hotly anticipated third album Spitshine.
Featuring the vocals of Nat Dunn, Ready to Go wastes no time in announcing its intentions: this is a summer invasion; a dancefloor raid, and Urthboy is in peak form.
The production skills that elevated 2007’s acclaimed The Signal, are back once again with Count Bounce lacing the beat.
Hackett Films (Gruen Transfer, John Butler) have created a pulsating, energetic music video to accompany the single.

The Herd hit the road from Elefanttraks on Vimeo.
Welcome to the wonderful upside-down world of Unkle Ho, and his perfectly unconventional new EP Subterranea.
Neither poker-faced sophisticate nor court jester, Unkle Ho is the cloaked host from the future, entertaining a grand ball from the past.
Predominantly electronic but enhanced with live instrumentation and a cut and paste aesthetic, Unkle Ho has evolved again, elevating the groove of each composition.
The same folks that kicked up their heels to the sounds of Roads to Roma and Circus Maximus will have five more reasons to seek out Subterranea.
In his first release since moving to Jakarta, Unkle Ho introduces a Latin feel, an increased synth presence and some infectious vocal samples. Never fear, his beloved tubas, trumpets and violins merrily swing in the mix.
Internationally, Unkle Ho’s reputation grows, securing licenses on multiple labels in various countries in the last 12 months – there is no one like him.
Get a preview of the upcoming EP here!
Subterranea is released as a limited edition ‘softpak’ CD (only 1000) and for download through all digital outlets on July 3.
THE HERD ANNOUNCE FINAL TOUR
Last headline shows for the next 12 months!
Despite hanging up their boots for 2009, The Herd have given in to the demands of online fans and are announcing a final East Coast Tour.
The tour coincides with the special DVD release of the Elefant Traks 10th Anniversary Party, filmed with 13 cameras in late 2008. The DVD captures the vitality and energy of the Elefant Traks celebration.
It’s been a phenomenally successful 12 months for The Herd: their fourth album Summerland debuting at #7 on the ARIA chart and the resulting tour was the biggest in their history.
They went on to win two AIR Awards for Best Independent Artist, Best Hip Hop Album, the J Award for Best Music Video as well as being nominated for an ARIA for Best Urban Album. The Herd made their mark once again on triple j’s Hottest 100 with hit single The King is Dead coming in at #13 and 2020 at #63.
