Badd Energy release “Ba-Zing” their second single from their upcoming second album Underwater Pyramids. They also announce seven gigs nationwide in February.

Once again this Badd Energy video is directed by Jason Howden, who hurtles the foursome through a video game vortex and some mean digital streets. Badd Energy are a psychedelic mix of guitars, drum machines and genres. Sam Moore, Coco Solid, Trixie Darko and J.Suave make up this trippy quartet that kick out motley jams blending stoner-swamp riffs with laid back 808 raps. Their single ‘Third Eye’ hit #1 on Bfm and Radio 1 in 2011.

Thanks to NZ on Air and the selfless donation of time and talent from those in the film industry, AHoriBuzz’s first music video for second single, “Turnaround” has been produced.

Renowned for their captivating and idiosyncratic performances, AHoriBuzz is the brainchild of Aaron Tokona (Cairo Knife Fight / Weta) who steers the outfit on vocals, MPC and guitar.

Riding the wake of their successful European summer tour, Batucada Sound Machine return to New Zealand with a new album of tried and true road-tested tunes entitled “Don’t Keep Silent”, was released on January 23^rd, 2012.

This 10 piece onslaught of pacific-soul, latin, afro-beat and hip-hop have an unparalleled reputation for their polished, high-energy performance, which has seen them conquer audiences at a host of renowned festivals including the main stage at Sziget Festival (Hungary), Horizonte Festival and Kulturarena (Germany), Larmer Tree Festival (UK) and the City of London Festival to name a few.

Architecture is the bold new track from Coco Solid and her long-time collaborator Tim 'Jizmatron' Checkley.

Taken from the thirty minute Pacific Rims mixtape Coco released this June, ‘Architecture’ is a dark pop turn and a cryptic tribute to Depeche Mode and New Order among others.
