DEM MOB light up Gum Ball with powerful set and groundbreaking rhymes
One of my favourite sets from this year’s Gum Ball Festival was from DEM MOB who are an Aboriginal hip hop group from the APY lands in northern South Australia which is made up of roughly 150 people.
These legends are the first to rap in their language and English and have been on the same lineup as the likes of BARKAA, J-Milla and Kendrick Lamar.
Following their incredibly powerful set, we had a chat with DEM MOB.

STILL STIRRING THE POT: The Herd drop truth bombs at The Gum Ball Festival
Australian hip hop group The Herd were one of the headliners for the 20th anniversary edition of The Gum Ball Festival held on Wonnarua Country in Lower Belford.
Although The Herd were releasing politically charged music in the early noughties, most of the issues they were shedding light on 20 years ago are just as poignant in 2025.
We caught up with Toe-Fu and Urthboy just before their highly anticipated set.
