See BLOOMY MEADOWS & INKSWEL live at DOUGSTOCK SEVEN!!!

Bloomy Meadows & Inkswel are an Adelaide-based hip hop and live-electronic outfit known for transforming beat-driven music into a full-scale live band experience. Blending hip hop, soul, jazz, and global rhythms, their shows feature a nine-piece lineup complete with horn section and backing vocalists, delivering a high-energy performance that pushes well beyond traditional genre boundaries.

At the core is Bloomy Meadows, a seasoned MC and performer with almost two decades of live experience across projects such as Poetikool Justice and Headphone Piracy. With a lyrical focus on life and land, he has built a reputation through national and international touring, festival appearances and major live performances, including the Big Day Out. His impressive resume includes the Emily Burrows Award and SA Music Award recognition, along with support slots alongside international acts including Chali 2na, Everlast, KORA, Tiki Taane, TZU, Blue King Brown, The Beautiful Girls and Brad Strut.

Alongside him is Inkswel, an internationally recognised producer, DJ and “beat wizard” whose work spans releases on influential labels including BBE, Tokyo Dawn, Sonar Kollektiv and Compost. He has collaborated with artists including Lee “Scratch” Perry, Talib Kweli and Moodymann, was nominated for the 2021 Australian Music Prize, and has performed at major festivals including WOMADelaide, Adelaide Festival, Jauma Fest and Wide Open Spaces. A veteran of the international club circuit, Inkswel regularly travels throughout the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia, performing at renowned venues from Miami and Los Angeles to Berlin, London, New York, Tokyo and beyond. He also runs the independent label Inner Tribe Records.

Together, Bloomy Meadows & Inkswel present a live show that blends sharp lyricism, deep grooves, live musicianship and global influence into an uplifting, high-impact set, drawing from their album The Passion and a wide network of international collaborators.
