Producer Spotlight: Piers One

Piers One

On producer spotlight this month we feature Piers One.

Piers One is a Brisbane based beat maker. With Able 2, he released his debut instrumental EP “Above Alibi” early in 2020 on Rinsed Out Records. The limited edition vinyl sold out quickly and cemented “Above Alibi” as an exceptional release. It gives a nod to the golden era of classic boom bap beats, with their own flavours added to the mix.

Involved in the hip hop scene since the early 2000’s as an emcee and producer. Piers One was part of RIPE Crew playing shows in Brisbane, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.

After taking a break from music, Piers moved to London in 2011. Returning to Brisbane in 2013, and after setting up his new studio, he has been quietly working on his craft since. 2021 looks set to be a busy year with more releases on Rinsed Out Records due.

Influences include Brothers Stoney, DJ Muggs, The Alchemist and The Avalanches.

Follow the below to buy a physical copy of “Above Alibi” and check out Piers One’s beats in his Beatbay store.

Look out for upcoming releases from Piers One including the “Visions” EP (available on all digital platforms) and a beat tape (limited edition cassette release).
