Rush Hour 5

A buzzy jazz fusion night with live art! TICKET LINK in @elvis_gleeson and @blank.platform bios! @fizzy_issy_ and I wanted to create a space for great conversations on a night out and a genuinely fun dance floor. Something that felt colourful, warm, energetic, and open. So, we’ve put together a creative lineup of @this.way.orkestra , @rushhour.5 , @mncappo , Garaújo, and @ 6 to perform a night of jazz-hop and jazz fusions of afrobeat/afrofunk, ska, and minimal house, with @thiagodclaus_art creating live art responsively to the music. In the spirit of jazz, this event is taking place on an open air rooftop in the middle of the city! Incredible graphics and illustrations by @olliexreyes Come by for Saturday night on May 30th at @blank.platform from 7pm - 12am. Would love to see you there!

Still living off this high! What an event! @fizzy_issy_ nice workin’ with you sistah! @thehiphopciviccypher thank you for having us!

We did it!!! Thank you so much to everyone who came along and made The Hip Hop Civic Cypher come alive. What an absolute blast we had! I can't thank everyone enough for making my dream of bringing together all the elements of hip hop with all the vibrancy and talent that Canberra has to offer, that is, the people of Canberra, truly come to life. I'm still beaming and replaying every moment of the day. This wouldn't have happened without my band @rushhour.5 bringing back live hip hop instrumentals and eagerly supporting me with my idea to play music for dancers live. It also wouldn't have happened without the drive and enthusiasm that our MC @mncappo brings constantly to the hip hop scene and community more broadly. Cappo, your constant positivity and can-do attitude that you had in supporting me and the scene, is keeping hip hop and Canberra alive and thriving. Having the support of @berrabars bringing the rap element of hip hop to the Hip Hop Civic Cypher was awesome. In today's age of modern hip hop, I think it's easy to forget the simple roots of hip hop as connecting with community through creative expression of the different art forms (break, MC, DJ, graff) that developed from a time of shared struggle and experience. It's easy to get into the silos of each art form, focus on improving your craft, even focusing on just competing/battling, and forget, we're all just navigating this complex world together and these art forms came out of trying to express ourselves in all the chaos and confusion, and finding connection and direction through it all. Thank you @theunkajedartist @edddie__mo and Hone for your incredible art work and bringing street art alive right in the middle of the city for people to see. Thank you @willellisvisuals for capturing the vibes of the whole day. Doing this for the community and for the love of it is what its all about. Thank you to our sponsors @dissentcafeandbar @sanchosdirtylaundry @impactcomics @passionandpurposeacademy @iwork.au @ausdanceact @loquitacbr Most of all, thank you everyone for supporting me and this ground up community event happen. Everything volunteered, by the people, for the people. ~Fizzy Issy out✌
