glu releases new EP

Born in Canberra and now based in Melbourne, Australian artist glu is a rapper who makes fiercely original alternative hip hop music. After spending time living in Los Angeles, 2021 was a critical time for the artist, who spent the year developing the next chapter of his sound and establishing himself in the Aussie hip hop scene.

Offering a hyper-aggressive blend of pounding beats and jarring tapestries of synth lines, he sets a truly groundbreaking backdrop for his razor sharp flow to deliver otherworldly bars via spliced and whirling vocal processing. Unveiling his wildly creative vision last year, he dropped the debut single “The Party”, quickly followed up by sophomore track “Tokyo” before releasing his debut mixtape with the twelve-track ULTRAGLU.

Making an impact straight away, the track “VHS” lifted from ULTRAGLU gained glu widespread praise and support on multiple radio stations. Following his US tour with AMINE, glu featured on Denzel Curry’s latest record and linked up with New York-based rapper 454 to feature on his own release “WITCHE$” which would land on his latest EP, HOT GLU GUN.

With his latest EP, glu lays out a perfect cacophony of future electro hip hop, organising chaos in his own unique way. Absurd and completely unpredictable, across the seven new tracks on HOT GLU GUN, the artist showcases his talent as a music innovator, filtering his mind-bending ideas through his own sonic lens.

Inspired by a three day acid binge during Melbourne’s 2021 lockdown, HOT GLU GUN immortalises his self-destructive bender and in the process, spins music unlike anything else that has to be heard to be believed.
