Bliss n Eso, once billed as Bliss n' Esoterikizm, are a Sydney hip-hop trio built around emcees Bliss and Eso and DJ Izm on the decks, together since 2000. Their rhymes ride lush, soulful beats with enough warmth and melody to sit comfortably next to the guitar bands on alternative countdowns.
Flying Colours, in 2008, was the breakthrough, with "Eye of the Storm" and "The Sea is Rising", and it won them the ARIA Award for Best Urban Release. Running on Air in 2010 kept the momentum going with "Addicted", "Down by the River" and "Reflections", and Circus in the Sky and Off the Grid followed. "Moments", from Off the Grid, picked up a second ARIA, for Best Music Video, in 2017.
All told they've made seven studio albums, and three of them debuted at number 1 on the ARIA charts. They're now with Melbourne label Mushroom Music, and Eso stepped out under his alias Esoterik for the solo album My Astral Plane in May 2018.
