Johnny Rotten Appleseed - Tommy Ill

Make sure you tidy away your preconceptions of New Zealand hip-hop before you listen to Tommy Ill's humorous tales that document the foibles of you average, slightly awkward, fellow with Dionysian leaning tendencies. "Johnny Rotten Apple Seed" taken from his E.P. Come Home Mr. Ill, is another of the aforementioned ilk - plus it's a great party track, with a badass baseline.

A Mess - Yule

When first listening to this artist you may think you've stumbled across a hidden b-side gem from your favourite UNKLE, The Streets or even Radiohead record, but no, instead it's a song from independently recorded and released ex-Dunedin-ite - come - Grey Lynn- resident, Yule. Taken from Yule's self-produced album, Aaaarrrggh!!!, which was recorded in his various bedrooms and lounges, "A Mess" is a textural audio gem that darts from heartfelt indie-rock to electronic syncopated rhythms and flamenco-styled clapping.

Woman (Eavesdrop Remix) - Coast

Roots-rock trio, Coast, are going from strength-to-strength after the release of their self-titled E.P. in May and playing a string of impressive gigs including the recent Jameson Jam Sessions. Now, Coast are getting the re-mix treatment from Eavesdrop aka DJ Subtrak a well-seasoned Drum n Bass guru who seamlessly couples eclectic genre-hopping tendencies with expert execution on Coast's track, "Woman".

Conspiracies - The Midnights

The second single from their much anticipated, self-titled debut album, The Mignights, "Conspiracies" kicks and punches, shattering all expectations listeners will have of a standard roots act. Instead, the band imaginatively churns out heavy riffs, muscular bass lines, bouncing tempos and jabbing brass to illustrate that it's no accident that The Midnights are stalwarts of the Auckland live scene.

Postcards From The Edge - Ghost

"Postcards From The Edge" is the first single from the album of the same name. Ghost made his debut on wax in late 2003 with the Ghost Stories EP. The musical journey since that release has seen Ghost navigate 4 albums (3 solo), mix CD's, 5 vinyl EP's and several 7" singles. Not to mention remix credits for the likes of The Heavy, Nicole Wills & The Soul Investigators, Coldcut, Bonobo, Kashmere, and Jehst. Since 2007 Ghost has been touring and DJ'ing all over the UK and Europe (including stints at Glastonbury, Hip Hop Kemp, The Big Chill, Bestival and The Jazz Cafe). Ghost moved to NZ in 2009.
