REMIX – JT Moombah Tie
*******************************
I couldn’t resist taking a stab at the
latest Justin Timberlake joint. Sped up
the beat a little bit and added some
Moombah bump, low end rump, and
some shakers for good measure.
http://bit.ly/JT_Moombah_TieThis is my first time posting a work in
progress for DJ/listener feedback on
Soundcloud. Let me know what you
think, and maybe I can repost a
custom 2.0 version for you!

VIDEO – VEVO SF
*******************************
Sound + City heads to SF to check the
beating electronic heart of the music
scene. This episode features a stop at
Robotspeak, a treasure trove of music
gadgetry, and a chat with B. Bravo,
who produces modern funk records.
Mission Chinese Food and late night at
Monarch, with a cameo JBoogie on the
decks. Editors note: they overdubbed
some other music on my DJ set.

TOP 20 – New Zealand sounds
*******************************
I discovered tons of new artists and
included some of my favs that I’ve
been fans of for some time.

Sounds of the land down under…

Fat Freddie’s Drop
Everybody’s favorite NZ reggae! If you haven’t heard them yet, get yourself over to http://www.fatfreddysdrop.com

Joe Dukie
The lead singer of Fat Freddie’s has also worked with some other great producers. Peep his side hustle. http://www.beatport.com/artist/joe-dukie/15540

The Yoots
The trombone player from FFD brings you Maori songs played as instrumental ska sing-a-longs! http://economyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sing-along-with-the-yoots

Julian Dyne
Pins & Digits was one of my favs in 2009. His new material is breaking bounds, and he takes that Dilla swing to the next level. Beats are amazing. http://soundcloud.com/julien-dyne

Recloose
NZ by way of Detroit, he’s gone from Carl Craig’s Planet E to Tui Award winner, and for good reason. Eclectic electronic music that will stretch and blow your mind at the same time. http://www.recloose.com

Frank Booker
Deep and Disco. As co-host alongside Recloose for the radio show “Hit It & Quit It”, this brother knows funky. I was shazzaming this guy’s tunes before I made it to NZ. http://soundcloud.com/frankbooker

Black Seeds
More Wellington reggae bizness. Must be in the water! These guys have tons of great music and side projects, plus the new album has tons of DUB: http://theblackseeds.com

Lord Echo
Mike Fabulous of the Black Seeds side project of funk, afrobeat, soul, reggae. DOPE. Good breakdown on the project’s history here: http://dubdotdash.blogspot.com/2010/12/lord-echo.html

Fabulous/Arabia
Another Lord Echo/Black Seeds offshoot, this collabo with vocalist Arabia has that Shuggie Otis, Beatles folk funk feel http://fabulousarabia.bandcamp.com

Shogun Orchestra
Afrobeat sounds from Economy Records, who brought you Lord Echo, Yoots, Arabia, etc. http://afrobeat-music.blogspot.com/2012/04/from-new-zealand-shogun-orchestra.html

@Peace
The guys at Conch Records put me up on this Kiwi hip hop. AMAZING. Reminiscent of golden era Dilla & Slum Village vibes, but with a very unique twist. This album is in heavy rotation. REALLY GOOD HIPHOP. http://at-peace.bandcamp.com

Young, Gifted and Broke
In addition to @peace, this label has an amazing lineup of NZ artists. http://younggiftedandbroke.com

Kutcorners
With releases on Fools Gold, 11 Inch & Young Robots, this DJ/Producer has the future in his sights. Relocating back to his NZ roots from Vancouver to work for Serato. Good move, mate! http://soundcloud.com/kutcorners

Sola Rosa
A live group that plays everything from downtempo to jazz to soul. They have great taste in remixers too http://www.solarosa.com

Electric Wire Hustle
These guys need no introduction and have been blowing up in the US. Dilla swing soul. http://www.electricwirehustle.com

Marc de Clive Lowe
Although he’s been all over the world and lived in UK to LA, his roots are Kiwi and he’s the first person I hit up when I found out we were going to NZ. Marc is not only an amazingly talented producer, but his live show will absolutely blow your mind as he plays one man band on MPC, vintage keys, Serato, etc.  http://mdcl.tv

Latinaotearoa
My man Bobby from Conch Records http://www.conch.co.nz is a serious beat digger and pulls out the Brazilian joints for people like Gilles Peterson and DJ Vadim. His group draws from his Brazilian blood & adds the Latin sounds of Boogaloo and Salsa beats from Puerto Rico and beyond. Great live show, really cool dude, and great record store! http://www.latinaotearoa.com

Isaac Aesili
Another member of Latinaotearoa & several other bands, Isaac is all over the place in NZ with several musical projects. Does this guy stop? http://isaacaesili.bandcamp.com

Funkommunity
One of Isaac’s groups making some serious noise in UK and beyond. Spaced out future soul music.
Also check out his Karl Marx Project. http://www.funkommunity.mpmsite.com

Nathan Haines
Jazz Musician that isn’t afraid of the new. Collabos are great. http://nathanhaines.com

Newtown Rocksteady
Same deep rocksteady dub vibes. Heavy! http://newtownrocksteady.bandcamp.com/ http://bit.ly/Xfj1t4
