Like the rugged nature of their NSW homestead, Blue Mountains’ 4-man crew (Tuka, Jeswon, Tommy Fiasko and DJ Morgs)|Thundamentals have forged their style from the peaks and valleys of traditional funk, soul, and Latin-based music. With the ink from their signatures just drying, the latest additions to the Obese Records stable are set to ride the wave of their upcoming self-titled label debut.

Tommy Fiasko and DJ Morgs have cut their teeth with their own productions, most notably Fiasko’s remix work for Dr. Octagon and Arrested Development. Together, Thundamentals distinct talents combine to form one of the most exciting young crews to dawn on Australian hip-hop.
