We are Greig Thomson and Al Thumm from South of Oz - homecooked sampladelic funkin' since 2000!
Rockin a schmorgasboard of sampling and DIY recording, it began with our first album, the Epic Dud, released around 2001 to the Adelaide underground, forging the blueprint for backyard jigsaw funk and the tropical dreamtime. Food for the self titled Bird Lantern album, the Dud Ep, and all the joys to come...
so it goes...
Great glowing spaces to everyone...hope you find what you're looking for
