About a year ago, former Death Row rapper Snoop Dogg purchased the label from MNRK Music Group, and subsequently pulled the entire catalogue from streaming services. And why do this? Turns out the purchase was backed by Gamma, a 1 Billion dollar company owned by a former Apple CEO, and they've been fleshing out the rights and terms of agreement with our man Snoop. Celebrate with a Gin & Juice and chuck your favourite Death Row tunes on Spotty! You can read more about it here High Voltage Fest is Back! You may remember not long ago, High Voltage fest took place in Freo with a bunch of bands playing on flatbed trucks driving around for onlookers to view on the streets. Well it's back for another year! Some of the acts playing on seven flatbed trucks include Body Type, Diesel, Cash Savage And The Last Drinks, Dan Sultan, Katy Steele and many more. The performances will take place across a 5 km circuit, passing the Bon Scott statue along the way. So make sure you're in Freo on the 7th of May!
