NEW ON ITUNES!
Turnaround: is a funky number reminiscent of 70's Stevie and the much-awaited second single from A Hori Buzz. Like Cairo Knife Fight, A Hori Buzz is Aaron Tokona (also the front man of legendary band, Weta) and Nick Gaffney.
Tommy Illl: is the debut LP from indie rapper, Tommy Ill. With rhymes that tackle the everyday issues of hangovers, heartache and bills set to vintage soul tracks slightly askew, a party is never too far away.
Great News For The Modern Man: Live at the Auckland Town Hall: sees NZ's musical heavy weights join forces with Riki Gooch for a riveting one-off show as the band Eru Dangespiel. Expect a mix of jazz, soul & funk wazz outs! Or, buy the DVD
Ivanhoe: is the self-titled EP from the Strom brothers (Antix, Fiord). Featuring a collective of electronic music producers, guest vocalists and songwriters, expect this fresh approach to electronic indie-pop to send you dancing your way into cyber space.
Bridging The Pacific Vol. 2: is the second snapshot of the extensive LOOP catalog. A compilation available only on iTunes, it features tracks from some of the hottest talent released on LOOP. It's a bargain with 20 tracks for only $15.99!
50Hz: classic "Seek Know More" featuring vocals from Ladi6 has finally been added to iTunes! Packaged with five remixes (four of which have only ever had limited release on vinyl) these tracks are like newly discovered musical treasure.
Coast: up-and-coming three piece, who are inspired in equal parts by the East Coast where they hail from, the mana they share and a combined passion for music. The result of this fusion has been captured on their debut self-titled EP, which combines intricate soulful rootsy grooves moulded with rock soundscapes.
The Midnights: Having just released their debut album "Outside", the group's first single off the album, “Silhouette”, is an infectious low-fi gem.
Jayson Norris: has just released new single "Window". The catchy song is set to be a classic - it's already loved by loads of Kiwis who have seen him perform when they were in London on their O.E.
Raashi Malik: Known for her collaborations with Wellington band, Rhombus, Malik combines her “graceful, honeyed silken tones” with a mixture of soul/jazz fusion & traditional Indian folk to create her enchanting debut solo release.
A Hori Buzz: Their first single seems to be rather at odds with their name and myspace declaration "All Hori, all night"; as they offer up a soulful and undeniably sophisticated groove. Featuring stunning vocals by Roz Langton.
