SONIC DELUSION HITS THE SOUTH ISLAND
Sonic Delusion (Trio) is embarking on their South Island tour for the long weekend ahead. Too funky for folk and too folky for funk - that's Sonic Delusion's Latin-infused, pop-laced "funky electroacoustic folk".
Sonic Delusion (Trio) is embarking on their South Island tour for the long weekend ahead.
Too funky for folk and too folky for funk - that's Sonic Delusion's Latin-infused, pop-laced "funky electroacoustic folk".
Sonic Delusion’s frontman Andre Manella uses his well-worn loop pedal to spontaneously create layers of rhythm, tone and vocals.
The Swiss-Kiwi electro-folk raconteur “easily carves out his own unapologetically ambitious and intriguingly experimental sound”.
“Catchy loops invite plenty of dancing and hip swaying… a sensual delight to the ears”.
Sonic Delusion (Trio) includes French import Severin Thiebaut (bass, keys). He ratchets up the dynamics with Latin-flavoured keys and funky bass. The musical wonder boy Ben Dixon on tasty drums.
Believe it or not but this is the only one man band in the world with 3 people!
You can catch them at the East St Cafe & Bar in Nelson on Friday 5th Feb, at the Mussel Inn Onekaka on Saturday 6th Feb and at the Golden Bear in Mapua on Sunday 7th Feb.
WHO SHOT SCOTT - WISH BAD THINGS
WISH BAD THINGS is the explosive third single by style-fusing, experimental hip-hop artist WHO SHOT SCOTT. As the artists first offering of 2021, this self-produced, up-tempo track is unlike anything we’ve ever heard from him.
WISH BAD THINGS is the explosive third single by style-fusing, experimental hip-hop artist WHO SHOT SCOTT. As the artists first offering of 2021, this self-produced, up-tempo track is unlike anything we’ve ever heard from him. Boasting a fat analog synth bass throughout, WSS raps about having enemies watching him from afar, while secretly hoping for his downfall. The music video was shot in one take through a hotel room peephole with WHO SHOT SCOTT performing on the other side of the door - representative of the eyes watching him as he elevates through the music industry. This single is the third release from the artists debut EP “MERCY” coming out in February 2021.
about the artist:
WHO SHOT SCOTT is Zaidoon Nasir who fled Iraq to arrive in New Zealand when he was 2 years old. He found comfort in a friend at age 8 and they were joined at the hip - their shared love for hip-hop resulted in the duo “Times x Two” being born. Together they toured and played shows internationally. In 2019 however, his partner converted religion, abruptly announced he will no longer make music, moved overseas and left his closest friend here with no goodbye. WHO SHOT SCOTT is the brand new project telling the story of betrayal, then rising again, and channeling all that energy into something more powerful.
Legendary D&B label Hospital Records presents the music video to Danny Byrd's remix of Thomas Oliver's FRIENDLY FIRE
Hospital Records' Drum & Bass veteran, Danny Bryd, took Thomas Oliver's latest festival-fueled single, Friendly Fire, and gave it a hard-hitting, rave-style drum and bass flavour.
Hospital Records' Drum & Bass veteran, Danny Bryd, took Thomas Oliver's latest festival-fueled single, Friendly Fire, and gave it a hard-hitting, rave-style drum and bass flavour.
The footage for the music video has been filmed during Thomas Oliver's headliner set at Mardi Gras festival in Ohakune in November 2020 and released last weekend by Hospital Records on their Youtube channel. The audio has been released by Tenfold Records.
Thomas Oliver has been a Danny Byrd fan since Danny's first full-length album, released in 2008 and titled Supersized, so Danny was Thomas's first choice for remixer of this song. Danny loved the original version of the song and predicted that “this is going to be a big one for Thomas”, and then delivered his remix which is sure to make itself well known in the drum and bass world.
Thomas has a long-standing connection with Hospital Records, having released several collabs on this label, and having featured in several music videos on the Hospital channels, so to team up with another Hospital artist serves to continue this connection, and the resulting remix is bright, vibrant and bouncy, but with a dark and wide and monstrous bassline to boot.
“As soon as my managers and I started the discussion about a remix of Friendly Fire, I knew that Danny Byrd was the one, without question. And what he has delivered is exactly what we were hoping for and more, so I'm amped to have it out in the world.” – Thomas Oliver

Another Day in Love is the sun-tastic second single from The Loving Arms, officially released last week ahead of the band’s first sell-out show of 2021 at Anthology Lounge, K Rd, on January 30.
Another Day In Love is written by Mark Beesley and produced by Kerry Furlong for Ghost Records. The Loving Arms are Mark Beesley, Bryan Shaw, Catherine Townsend, Dominic Blaazer and Steven Shaw.
Blaazer, Shaw, Shaw and Beesley played with Jed Town in Ghost Town, whose acclaimed 2017 LP Sky is Falling is also released on Ghost Records. The Loving Arms continue Ghost Town’s exploration of alt-Americana song forms, creating a sonic world of beauty and mystery all their own. Another Day in Love follows the debut single, 2020’s Angel In Disgrace, and is another taste of what’s to come from a remarkable set of recordings made over the last 18 months at Auckland’s Red Trolley studio.

Team Dynamite share 'Lightning Bolt'
YGB stalwarts Team Dynamite tease the upcoming release of Respect The Process with 'Lightning Bolt' featuring the glorious vocals of Bailey Wiley.
Team Dynamite share 'Lightning Bolt' ft. Bailey Wiley
from LP Respect the Process, out March 5 on YGB RECORDS
YGB stalwarts Team Dynamite tease the upcoming release of Respect The Process with 'Lightning Bolt' featuring the glorious vocals of Bailey Wiley.
Following on from the fast paced challenge of 'Who?' ft. Diggy Dupe and 'Dragon Fruit' ft. Louis Baker, 'Lightning Bolt' is a heart-on-the-sleeve track about the moment you realise your feelings for someone.
'Lightning Bolt' comes just one month before the release of the hip hop trio's long-awaited record Respect The Process, a record that showcases the older, and (sometimes) wiser Team Dynamite. The three singles released so far give a taste of the breadth of styles featured on the album and a new vulnerability that Lucky Lance, Tony Teez and Haz Beats have purposely allowed into their music.
If you missed Team Dynamite at Northern Bass, you can catch them supporting Che-Fu and The Cratez in Return of the Navigator on 13 March at Auckland Arts Festival.
'Lightning Bolt' will be released Feb 5th on streaming services via DRM. Team Dynamite's second LP Respect The Process is out on 5 March on Years Gone By Records.
TAMI NEILSON "CALL YOUR MAMA" PREMIERES ON PARADE MAGAZINE AND REISSUES "CHICKABOOM!" WITH LIVE RECORDINGS FROM ROUNDHEAD STUDIOS
Tami Neilson "Call Your Mama" premieres on Parade Magazine and reissues "Chickaboom!" With Live Recordings from Roundhead Studios
POWERHOUSE VOCALIST TAMI NEILSON
TO REISSUE LAUDED ALBUM CHICKABOOM! DELUXE
AS DIGITAL-ONLY VERSION INCLUDING LIVE TRACKS
RECORDED AT LEGENDARY ROUNDHEAD STUDIOS
Due out February 19, 2021 on all Digital Platforms
After a year of building momentum, including performances at Americanafest in Nashville in the fall of 2019, Folk Alliance in New Orleans, festivals throughout North America and Europe, and a confirmed slot at Willie Nelson’s famed Luck Reunion, Tami Neilson launched her new album CHICKABOOM! in February, 2020.
The collection received rave reviews from top-drawer publications such as MOJO, Rolling Stone and American Songwriter. No Depression ironically proclaimed, “Just call 2020 the Year of Tami!” In a matter of weeks, as COVID-19 took over and the world plunged into lockdown, Tami’s world tour was cancelled, and all that hard-earned momentum ground to a halt. Still hoping to make her NZ dates, she entered Neil Finn’s iconic Roundhead Studios to promote those shows and perform with her band (whom she hadn’t seen in four months) and the 12-piece Big Boss Orchestra for the very first time for Radio New Zealand’s LIVE Sessions national broadcast. These one-take, reimagined selections make up five new dramatic arrangements on CHICKABOOM! DELUXE.
Not long after the world went sideways, the creative whirlwind got busy with her team, which includes her brothers Jay and Todd, musical and video collaborators, respectively. The Tami Show, a 12-episode series on YouTube, was born as a welcome respite from quarantine life. Offering a glimpse into Tami’s life with funny anecdotes, fashion inspiration, hair and make-up tutorials, and THAT VOICE, the show, along with additional videos from CHICKABOOM! can be viewed on her You Tube channel here.
The single “Hey Bus Driver” from CHICKABOOM! won Country Song of the Year at the New Zealand Country Music Awards and the track “You Were Mine” was nominated for the APRA Silver Scroll for Song of the Year. CHICKABOOM! was also nominated for Album of the Year at the Aotearoa Music Awards (previously named Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards).
In preparation for Tami’s recent “Brass, Strings, Sing!” Tour, Radio New Zealand arranged for Tami, her band and a 12 piece orchestra, to rehearse and record some of the show at Roundhead Studios in Auckland.
These recordings will now be made available as part of “Chickaboom! - Deluxe” , on all digital platforms from February 19th 2021.

MILES CALDER 'BAD FOR ME'
Poneke-based singer-songwriter Miles Calder announces his debut solo album, Autopilot Life, out March 5th, alongside a new single and video 'Bad for Me'.
“Miles Calder takes us back, back in time to days when rock sounded like everything and we didn’t get tongue tied by genre gyrations.It’s both familiar and timeless. Outstanding songs. Outstanding band.”
- Radio 13
Poneke-based singer-songwriter Miles Calder announces his debut solo album, Autopilot Life, out March 5th, alongside a new single and video 'Bad for Me'. The release follows his 2020 singles ‘Take Be Back to How It Was’ and ‘Lake Geneva’.
On 'Bad for Me', a driving rhythm carries hypnotic chords as Miles scorns an adult bully, and himself for putting up with it. When the shimmering guitar solo hits near the track's end, we get a moment of release and agency to break through the built-up narrative of social anxiety.
“Most of the songs on Autopilot Life are about living an unexamined life,” explains Miles. “‘Bad for Me’ was written after a weird situation I had at a cafe - being humiliated, as if we were back in primary school, but at 30 years old. And finally having the realisation of why the hell had I been trying to fit in with people that ultimately made me feel like s**t.”
The accompanying video for 'Bad for Me' was directed, shot and edited by drummer/photographer Nick George in Wellington and features Miles in an aimless day-in-the-life, as his own procrastinating worst enemy.
Four years on since his last outings with former backing band The Rumours and time spent living and writing overseas, Miles has emerged with a revived sound and new band. His debut solo album Autopilot Life proclaims a clear shift towards psychedelic folk-rock, evoking early 70s Lennon and late-era Beatles as much as contemporaries like Kevin Morby and Father John Misty.
Conceived and written mostly during the ending of a long-term relationship, the songwriter turns what could’ve been just a ‘break-up album’ to something more universal: “I realised that I was in a relationship, job, and daily routine that I didn’t want to be in, because I never stuck my head up to check. Turns out I could’ve just read the lyrics of these songs I was writing.”
Autopilot Life sees Miles crafting lyrics that are self-reflective and deeply honest. He notes: “I feel like I’m finally speaking and writing in my own conversational voice.”
Together with long-time collaborators Nick George (drums) and Steve Moodie (bass), Miles brought to life ten new songs starting with the core elements. Newly acquainted with writing and playing on both piano and electric guitar, the previously acoustic-guitar bound songwriter found new avenues of expression and as Miles puts it, “effective raw ideas that come from riding the edge of your comfort zone”. Recruiting Chris Armour(electric guitar) and Dayle Jellyman (synths, electric piano) opened up a new palette for Miles' spellbinding vocals, with cascading synths, atmospheric noise, and searing guitar solos.
The album was self-recorded in many different homes around P?neke and mixed by Tui-award winning engineer/producer “Doctor” Lee Prebble (The Phoenix Foundation, The Black Seeds) at Surgery Studios.
