We’re still getting over the shock that Matt Dyktynski is leaving us, so we’ve been going through the archives and who can forget, all those fantastic “suburban songs” about our Perth suburbs, aptly titled, Hits From Ya Hood.
What we actually forgot are all the collabs Matt did with super talented celebrities and musos. Here’s five of our faves.
Victoria Park (feat. Guy Sebastian)
A lively performance by Matt and the legend that is our Australian Idol, Guy Sebastian. To the tune of Don’t Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John and Kiki Dee.
Marangaroo (feat. Human Nature)
Yes. THE Human Nature, doing the thing for Marangaroo to the tune of Runaround Sue.
Willagee (feat. Samantha Jade)
Sister Sledge’s We Are Family gets the Samantha Jade treatment, and what a treatment it is.
Gosnells (feat. 360)
A nitty, gritty little ditty about that jewel to the east, with rapper 360.
Joondalup (feat. Dave Faulkner)
You might think of the Hoodoo Gurus when you hear the name Dave Faulkner. Add Joondalup to that list now.
Mount Lawley (feat. Bert La Bonté)
You would have seen Bert on your screens over the years. He’s been on HEAPS of shows, but he’s also Matt’s mate and here is their ode to Mount Lawley, to Ebony and Ivory by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.
Why not catch them all.
