We're in a weird state of mind. Frustrated by the act focusing on making 'content' to promote gigs, podcasts, videos etc, while also understanding the importance of it. We have a bit of a discussion on how our mental state is while doing it. Also we talk A.I music. ...

We're always fascinated by the crossover between art forms. What can you learn from different performance types mediums? Is it better to focus on one or branch out as a multifaceted artist? We believe the latter, and Tej is a perfect example of that.

For the time Vibe Union has been running events, we tend to run them as ongoing series. We love this as it allows events to grow over time and form a community around them. However, sometimes you can feel when one has run its course. But we always have to fight that feeling that somehow it 'failed' if it ends.

It's not uncommon for artists to attempt a positive improvement in their life and their work, only to receive less attention from die hard fans.

The way we communicate on stage, both as MCs and performers, is seemingly quite atypical for the local poetry and hip-hop scenes we find ourselves part of. We avoid hyperbole as a natural response, but is this a good move?

We've all heard the saying, "Choose a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life". But as artists we all fear turning our passion into work and often see the professional side of things as soulless. Is it the case that being professional and treating your art as a job will suck the life out of it? Jason and Ry have a bit of a chat about that idea in this episode.

On this episode of the Vibe Union podcast, DillyDave speaks with Yambra about entering the Melbourne live music scene and the upcoming Vibe Union hip-hop showcase "Mortal Cadence".

Yambra is a eclectic young indigenous artist from Dja Dja Wurrung country who currently lives in Naarm. His music is both uplifting and vibe filled, guided by sweet emotive melodies.

From the origin of his stage name to name dropping other artists in the scene, this episode is a great insight into the personality and approach of Yambra as he starts to make a name for himself.

For the last few years he's worked on finding his sound before taking it to the stage to drive crowds wild. Catch Yambra, Jeb Ross, Hana Rose and Rhath at the upcoming Vibe Union event "Mortal Cadence" on the 12th of March at Bar 303.
