South Auckland’s Otara acclaimed roots reggae band, Three Houses Down, return with their bold new single ‘Shot Caller ‘and bringing back Aotearoa roots reggae music, written by Charlie Pome’e and produced by Dean Fraser and Shane Brown (Jukeboxx Jamaica).

Ōtautahi/Christchurch street‑party outfit Yurt Party return with “Ding Dong Swing,” a lean, lively instrumental built for dance floors and summer stages. The title started as a van joke on a South Island drive — the band were riffing on call‑and‑response shouts they use live. “Ding dong” stuck. It’s not deep. It’s just fun!

Fresh from their second New Zealand No.1 hit, 'Before the Night', indie-pop sensation Mirage is back with their latest single, 'Steal My Heart'—a high-energy, feel-good anthem destined to light up radio waves and festival stages across Aotearoa.

After dropping their first tease with Any Better Reason, The RVMES prepare to release their full album, Boundary Issues on September 5th — 11 tracks ripped from a deep pool of inspirations and crafted into a sound that’s solid, unified and unique.

‘Te Rōpū Māori 30th Anniversary’ EP features a collection of six waiata performed by Te Rōpū Māori students and alumni at the university’s Te Korokoro o te Tui Recording Studio (School of Performing Arts) recorded by Stephen Steadman and produced by Teone Hotu of TRM and award-winning Māori Music Producer Maaka ‘Phat’ McGregor.

Hot Variety is the seventh full-length release from Adam Hattaway & The Haunters and it might be their most immediate, unfiltered record yet.

AfroSoul artist Ch! Nonso unveils his new single “My Own” supported by NZ On Air, a bass-led, mid-tempo groove that bridges Nigerian Pidgin, Igbo language, and the fluid rhythms of modern Afrobeats. The release offers the first glimpse into his upcoming 2026 album, a body of work set to weave together both energetic, layered tracks and intimate moments.

Today, Chinese-New Zealand singer, musician, and visual artist Crystal Chen shares her debut studio album You can call me CC, accompanied by a dreamy 16mm black and white music video for lead single Can’t Help It. Comprised of twelve songs that feel like handwritten journal entries translated into music – set to a backdrop of intricate compositions and ornate instrumentation provided by New Zealand’s finest jazz musicians.
