Throughout the Classic Material podcast series, we’ve heard about the importance of Triple J. The alternative radio station that represented the only chance of airplay for Australian hip-hop artists. But, what made Triple J decide Australian hip-hop was worth a chance?
The station has been responsible for giving a platform to so many of our local hip-hop acts. But it might never have happened if it weren’t for one group. One group that broke through in the early 2000s and made local hip hop appeal to the average suburban Australian kid. One group that used a little rock influence to introduce hip-hop to fans of Regurgitator and Powderfinger, creating new opportunities for the next generation to break through.
That one group was 1200 Techniques.
