I am honoured to be DJ'ing for him this Saturday when he performs his MC set. If you're in the area, come on down!

Details HERE.

'High Noon II' x Auckland City w/ Oddisee

Pretty hyped about this one. 

Oddisee is dope and we have a mean local line-up which I am lucky enough to be included in.

Oddisee is an undercover hip-hop beast who has produced for the likes of DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ken Starr, Talib Kweli, DTMD, as well as putting out into the world his own high quality beats and rhymes.

His latest release 'Rock Creek Park' was inspired by the one and only Donald Byrd.

Check it out, and if you happen to be around NZ and Oz over the next couple of weeks, be sure to check out the man all the way live!

@Peace - @Peace

@Peace is a local crew consisting headlined on the mic by Tom Scott from Homebrew with rhyme partner Lui Tuiasu.

A coming together of some great local talent including Christoph el' Truento on executive production, graf/artist crew Cut Collective on the spacious astrology cover art as well as Electric Wire Hustle's live engineer/fourth band member, Benny Tones doing the mastering.

If Homebrew's fantastic work sounds washed in beer and pills, then this is definately swathed in LSD and pot with Tom and Lui going for a more introspective feel on this one.

Beat production comes from Soul Chef, Influence, Miso Shiru/Brandon Haru, El' Truento, and Nothing To Nobody.

You can head to the indomitable Bandcamp, name your price and cop a DOWNLOAD of this very nice little project.
