Bliss n Eso

Longtime standouts in the Australian hip-hop scene, Bliss N Eso formed when some school friends decided to take their love of music to a new level. Composed of one American-born emcee, one Australian rapper, and a DJ, the trio grew from grassroots beginnings to chart-topping success, with albums debuting at number one in Australia and making waves throughout the rest of the world. Their unique hybrid of American and Australian roots was showcased on increasingly polished albums like 2017's Off the Grid. Hip-hop enthusiasts MCs Bliss (Johnathan Notley) and Eso (Max MacKinnon) met when they both attended the same high school in Sydney in the early '90s. After graduating, they linked up with DJ Izm (Tarik Ejjamai) and started performing as Bliss N Esoterikizm in 2000. The name was eventually shortened to Bliss N Eso. The group's first effort was 2000's self-released EP The Arrival. In 2004, they signed with Melbourne label Obese and released their first album, Flowers in the Pavement; production was handled by Bliss, as well as Weapon X and Suffa (labelmates the Hilltop Hoods). Another mixtape followed. This promotional technique, while common in the U.S., was almost unheard of in Australia. Bliss N Eso then moved to the Illusive Sounds label, a subsidiary of Mushroom. In 2006, they released Day of the Dog, which was subsequently re-released with a disc of remixes by M-Phazes as Day of the Dog: Phazed Out. The next year, they met with the touring Zulu Connection Choir of South Africa and collaborated on a version of Citizen Cope's "Bullet and a Target," recorded at the home studio of Jimmy Barnes in Sydney. Funds raised from sales of the single were given to the Oaktree Foundation charity. During the late 2000s and early 2010s, Bliss N Eso released their most commercially successful recordings and frequently toured and played major festivals. Flying Colours (2008) reached number ten on the Australian albums chart and went gold. Running on Air (2010) and Circus in the Sky (2013), which were supported by a combined total of five gold singles, hit number one and went platinum. After Bliss N Eso landed in the Top 40 with the lead single "Dopamine" in 2016, the release of their sixth studio album was delayed due to tragic circumstances when a stunt double was shot and killed on set during the making of one of their music videos. With featured guests including soul singer Lee Fields and Australian electro-pop artist Thief, Off the Grid eventually arrived in the spring of 2017 via Illusive Sounds. In 2020 the trio returned with new single "Lighthouse," featuring vocalist Jake Isaac.
