By Shotbro with contributions from Safia New Zealand is far away; traveling here from the U.S .means you arrive on a different day. That isolation has always had the obvious negative effects, but rather than sit around and complain about it, early New Zealanders just "gave everything a go." New Zealand was settled by both European and Pacific people who travelled here on boats mostly before they even knew where "here" was, pretty much just to see if they could. That ethos is still a part of the fabric of New Zealand culture, and is probably one of the [...]
You know that face you make when you're recommending that a friend check out an artist that you are oh-so-serious about? That super intense "Dude, you haven't heard this? I'm [...]
Adi Dick's re-lick of Erykah Badu's 'On & On' from earlier this month seems to have hit the spot for readers of this site, and a few more to boot. 17,000 plays and counting on the old Soundcloud doesn't lie. So to sign off on what has been a strong month of music from all comers, here's another tidy remix ting from Adi. Q-Tip gets the once over today, with Adi throwing 'Breathe & Stop' up on some blocks and stripping it back to basics. The end result [...]

Electric Wire Hustle – They Don’t Want These kiwi’s bring a fusion of Motown soul, neo-soul and electronic beats. As if Al Green and Phantogram got together and made something that would make you want to jump in the nearest classic black Cadillac and cruise down the coastal highway with the windows down. Grab their self titled album where ever your little heart desires, however I’m not sure it’s on vinyl yet.

The opening sortee in this week's official SXSW music showcases was last night's Pitchfork showcase at Mohawk. Among those on the bill were b3sci faves like Shlohmo, Schoolboy Q & one of our biggest must-sees for the festival, UK beatsman Star Slinger. Hitting a stage already left nicely warmed up by True Panther duo Teengirl Fantasy, Star Slinger had the house on lock from the moment the first bit of space-bass bumped through the venue. Mixing tracks from Jessie Ware & Rihanna with original compositions and new shit (there were maybe 4-5 new beats and mixes dropped into the set), [...]

During the long workweek, I spend a good portion of my day sitting in front of a computer listening to music while I get my work on. As the weekend approaches and the minute’s stretch into hours, I catch myself gradually shifting in my seat into an awkward reclining position that almost makes it impossible to sit my body back upright. When coffee doesn’t suffice and Red Bull’s aren’t within reach, I find that it's extremely important to listen to music that will keep me energized and alert throughout the day. Today’s playlist is dedicated to this [...]

After releasing one of the best albums in 2010 with their self-titled debut New Zealand trio Electric Wire Hustle are back with their latest video for the song "Again". The video was shot during their U.S. tour last year. According to director Vibol Moeung; "the video was inspired by the first lines of the song " I have no sense of time.. ". New York's Time Square was the perfect place to create a time-lapse film with the uniquely overwhelming visual cacophony of lights, billboards, people, traffic & movement it provides. My aim was to create [...]
