Introducing Divebar Youth – a project by rising Adelaide musician, Vinnie Barbaro. Today Divebar Youth is excited to release his new single ‘MOJO (feat. goyo)’, a genre-defying hybrid which fuses elements of pop, hip hop and world music.

Speaking to the track’s theme, Divebar Youth explains: “The song ‘MOJO’ is about letting off steam. Sometimes you’ve just got to let things go and understand that it may be out of your control. I like the confidence that the song projects and its willingness to switch up and suddenly throw everything at you.”

Shaping it up in the studio with Sydney-based producer Taka Perry (Ruel, Sycco) and rapper goyo (member of Korean-Australian collective 1300), the artists looked to create a song with an eclectic sound that would challenge them. Born out of a deep dive into influences such as Gorillaz and The Avalanches, ‘MOJO’ transports listeners on a ghostly circus-esque journey. The song has an array of dark digital textures and is blended with a Latin simmer.

“I never intended to show anyone this track, it really started off as one of my whackier ideas. I had been down a rabbit hole listening to a lot of different things, I was looking to make something that felt unpredictable. I wanted a song that sounded hazy and mysterious”.

In his young but bright career so far, Divebar Youth’s knack for pushing the limits of genre have seen his songs feature across triple j’s Lunch, Arvos, Home & Hosed, and even Short.Fast.Loud. Divebar Youth has also recently been featured on MTV Australia as well as Spotify’s Fresh Finds AU/NZ playlist this year.

“I have found that the modern era of instant access allows us to explore our interests without boundaries. I always remember this when making music and therefore do not fear mixing genres and influences. I love artists who put odd inspirations together to create beautiful music, as this mirrors my own process.”

Last year, Divebar Youth was selected as a semi-finalist in the International Song Writing Competition (ISC), took home the title of Best Music Video at the 2020 South Australian Film Awards, and was chosen as a finalist in the CLIPPED Music Video Festival alongside Mia Rodriguez, George Alice, G Flip & Genesis Owusu. Divebar Youth was also selected as one of four grant recipients through N1 Records this year – the artist development program supported by Adelaide’s Northern Sound System.
