Description CHESHIRE x KAKADU COLLECTIVE x DESERT PEA MEDIA - 'Mayali ft. Victor Rostron [CHESHIRE REMIX]

Ground-breaking Australian community media mob - DESERT PEA MEDIA is coming in HARD with their 20 Year Anniversary Project – ‘RE-IMAGINE NATION’. A ‘remix album’ of hip-hop/ soul/ reggae tunes written with young Indigenous people and communities around the country over two decades.

The lead single ‘Mayali’ drops on December 9 and features Arnhem Land knowledge holder and Kunè Songman – Victor Rostron, of WILDFIRE MANWURRK BAND - remixed by Australian Bass Producer CHESHIRE, an evocative and uplifting anthem - fusing funky brass and pulsing rhythms with the ancient sounds of Indigenous song-lines and cultural stories from young people from Jabiru NT.

The original song premiered on Triple J in April 2021, becoming an overnight online sensation, and bringing in 26k views on Youtube, and a bangin’ 304k on Facebook. ‘Mayali ft. Victor Rostron’ then went on to win the 2021 National Indigenous Music Award for ‘Community Music Clip of the Year’.

“This song could start a fire - so much movement, heat, and passion. Always love when you can HEAR how much fun was made during the making of tracks” – Ash McGregor, Triple J

“This is taking me to a sunset in the top end and I don't wanna leave!” - Declan Byrne, Triple

And this is only the tip of the iceberg. ‘RE-IMAGINE NATION’, with funding support from Create NSW - brings together some huge Australian artists such as NERVE, PLUTONIC LAB, JIMBLAH, TRUE VIBENATION, CHESHIRE, BUMBLE, JUMAN, HAZY and more – remixing tunes from B-TOWN WARRIORS, KDA CREW, THE MOB and many more.

Get ready for more summer anthems in 2022 and 2023 than you can poke a magpie goose at.

"Desert Pea Media’s work has been an inspiration for decades. Their ability to bring out the voices of young Indigenous people in an authentic, positive way is incredible.” - CHESHIRE
