Womad 2013 full lineup



Some great acts coming here for Womad next year - Hugh Masekela, Antibalas, Salif Keita, Sofrito's DJ Hugo Mendez, Jimmy Cliff -  and the local lineup is pretty mean too -Aotearoa National Maori Choir with The Yoots, Electric Wire Hustle family (ie Mara TK and his dad Billy TK, etc), Newtown Rocksteady, Ahoribuzz... full lineup here.

Hugh Masekela will also be playing in Auckland as part of the Auckland Arts Festival lineup, also just launched this evening

Old as new


Via Daily Swarm: A Rational Conversation: Light in the Attic's Matt Sullivan on Making Undiscovered Music Relevant Today... "Light in the Attic founder and co-owner Matt Sullivan discuss how to best make undiscovered, sometimes forgotten music from another time relevant to today’s tastes and economy."

.Light In The Attic celebrated its tenth anniversary earlier this month with a special live show out in Los Angeles, with Rodriguez, Michael Chapman, and Shin Joong Hyun, and another to follow in Seattle. A fascinating read on how do you make a reissue label relevant to contemporary audiences, and also talks about Rodriguez and the movie Searching for Sugarman...

... Did it take the Searching for Sugar Man documentary to really make those Rodriguez reissues take off?
Matt Sullivan: Those reissues actually did really well – Cold Fact had sold 20,000 copies since our August 2008 reissue before the movie even came out. In the reissue world, that’s a really good amount of records, but Rodriguez is reaching a whole other audience from that movie: now my 81-year-old aunt in San Diego is going to see him play. I think I first heard Rodriguez in the early 2000s.

We went to Detroit and met him around 2005 or 2006, but we didn’t know there was a documentary in the works; that came later. I think Rodriguez first told us about the documentary in 2007 or 2008, when we were putting together the reissues.

When I met Malik Bendjelloul, the film’s director, at a show at Joe’s Pub in New York, I had no idea the documentary would be as good as it was. It’s so hard to make a good film, especially a good music doc. He sent me rough cuts of the film for years, and it turned out so spectacular.

Toy Love's Chris Knox on the NZ Music Awards, 97

Tomorrow night Chris Knox and his former cohorts in Toy Love will be honoured with entry into  the NZ Music Hall of Fame. ABOUT TIME.

In 1997, to celebrate the 20 anniversary of Rip It Up, the magazine did some indepth interviews with folk who had been on the scene for a similar length of time, and Chris Knox was one of them. Here's what Knox thought of the NZ Music Awards at the time... not a fan, apparently...

Elliot art on Elliott St, Ak CBD



One of the two new murals commissioned by BIG little City for Art Week, Mid-City Thinking is a collaboration between artists Askew One, Elliot Frances Stewart and Gary Silipa, located on the Mid-City Steps in Elliott Street.

"This mural is an ode to living inner city in a place like Auckland which is always in a state of transition. It is about thinking outside the box, acknowledging history and looking forward with an open mind as things change and progress around you."

RIP Terry Callier

Photo: Billboard

"Folk-jazz legend Terry Callier was for far too long the exclusive province of a fierce but small cult following. After singing soul and doo-wop in various outfits and releasing a glorious single-debut on Chess aged only 17, Terry Callier discovered folk music for himself in the mid-60s.

Accordingly, he started cutting his teeth on the post-beatnik bohemian hideouts and open mic spots of his hometown of Chicago, forging a soulful and spiritual version of folk that took critics and contemporaries like Curtis Mayfield by storm.

In the early 70s, Terry Callier hit his most prolific stride crafting a much noticed album trilogy with legendary producer Charles Stepney for Cadet between 1972 and 1974. But despite all critical acclaim and artistic mastery, it was not before the early nineties that the masses caught on, and he eventually received the mainstream recognition that he so rightly deserved.

Having retired in 1983 to re-train as a computer programmer and make a home for his daughter who decided she wanted to join him in Chicago, it was a call from Eddie Piller at Acid Jazz that led to some legendary and emotional performances at London’s Jazz Cafe, and a new recording career with Talkin’ Loud, and collaborated with Massive Attack’s Robert del Naja or Beth Orton, just to name a few. On October 28, 2012, one of the great voices of jazz and folk fell silent, aged only 67." Via RBMA Radio, hat tip to Keegan for the link.

Listen to  Kirk Degiorgio's indepth look at Callier's discography over at RBMA Radio.

Kora, Trip to the moon

Kora, live at Galatos. Photos: Mark Williams
Kora launched their brand new album Light Years with a short live set at Galatos last Thursday night. It's been four years since their debut album, and this one was worth the wait. The boys were clearly excited to be playing tunes off their new album, and those stunning vocal harmonies are still right up front. It's serious Hori future funk.

It's been several years since I've seen Kora live, and they absolutely killed it. The new album still has plenty of grunt but has pulled back on the guitars in favour of some heavy electronica and beats.


One of my favourite parts of the night was when they called out to see where the crowd was from - "Who's from Wellington?" A few cheers. Who's from Whakatane?" (their hometown). The front half of the room cheered like mad. They somehow managed to get a hometown crowd at the gig, even tho they weren't in their hometown. Shot. Kora head out on tour over December and January, dates below.





Friday night saw local electronica duo Trip To The Moon (Trevor Reekie and Tom Ludvigson) play a rare live show to celebrate their latest album, The Invisible Line. They were joined by Nigel Gavin on guitar, and Jim Langabeer on flute. It was an entertaining night of electronic beats mixed in with jazzy melodies and vibes. A few pics below. So, what does the album sound like?

Graham Reid, Elsewhere: 'Here jazz, lounge, world music, imagined soundtracks and contemporary art music meet, and the genre-denying music alludes to much more through sonic samples, ambient passages, beat-driven trip-hop...Yes, a real trip, and any line between genres is invisible.' Read the review

Gary Steel, Metro Magazine: ‘…from slinky virtual jazz, imaginary cinema-noir, ambient soundscapes and retroactive space-age synthesis…it’s a perfect Sunday afternoon pause.’ Read the review

Label Love 5: Jazzy bizznizz

Via Soulbounce: " Jazz is often forgotten in discussions about popular music. Once the sound of young America, it has now become the music of choice for those with a more sophisticated (read: older) musical palate. But that doesn't mean that jazz can't be young, fresh and even new once again.

The fifth (yes, fifth!) installment of the popular Label Love series sets out to prove just that. ...  the 15-track compilation proves to be a veritable smorgasbord for jazz aficionados. Running the gamut from traditional and vocal to modern and experimental, the compilation also brings along some familiar faces along with for the ride: LaBelle's Nona Hendryx turns up on Kahil El'Zabar's Ethnics' track "It's Time" and the ever progressive Nostalgia 77 turns up with "The Taxidermist." Plus Greg Foat, Dwight Trible, Matthew Halsall and more. Check it...

Stinkmix

Stinky Jim has posted one of his mighty stonkarific mixes over on stinkyjim.com. This one has not one but TWO versions of Agua de beber, some Quincy Jones, some Peddlers, some Ramsey Lewis Trio and even  Take It Easy My Brother Charles, awesome tune.

Jim says "this is very much on the loungey/soundtracky/library tip with a lot of op-shop scores, alongside some compilation and re-issue niceness from when I was treating Dusty Grooves etc orders like a jonesing jaunt to ‘the corner’. Love the fact that Mark Pritchard’s Harmonic 33 gear, which is the only modern/non-authentic tackle throughout, slips in so seamlessly with the vintage vibes." Some saucy vocal snippets too....

Sofa So Good



From the last Deepgrooves compilation, Sofa So Good, subtitled The Deepgrooves Producers Selection (1998). Some well cool loungey grooves, a few years before all those chill-out comps like Lazy Sunday were everywhere.

Other contributors were Combinations (Andy Submariner Morton and Manuel Bundy, listen at bottom), Keng, Sulata, Breaks Co-op, New Loungehead, and Grace.



Freaker were led by John Ozbourne (ex Slacker). According to the CD liner notes, this track was off a proposed album called Moltorubato, that didn't see release due to the closure of Deepgrooves.
UPDATED: John Oz released the Freaker album Moltorubato on cdbaby on 2015, get it here.



Pause were led by Justyn Pilbrow (later of Elemeno P) with Jo Currie and Anna Copley. They released a 3 song single on Deepgrooves, called Only, in 1998, and apparently had an album ready to go.

RZA vs Black Keys - who will win?



The Black Keys duke it out with RZA over a fortune cookie. Mean tune. Off the soundtrack for The Man With The Iron Fists, written and directed by RZA... their previous collaboration was on the 2009 album Blackroc.

Doco heaven

I got introduced to Documentary Heaven at the weekend (thanks, Mark G!), there's a ton of great documentaries listed there. I picked out a few of the music titles, here's a few...

"Moog, a documentary about Robert Moog, inventor of the modern synthesizer, is a portrait of the legendary figure in music and technology and his ideas about creativity, design, interactivity, spirituality and his collaborations with musicians over the years."



Legendary ska musician Rico Rodriguez: Rico: The Legacy..



 Sun Ra, Brother from another planet...
"... Sun Ra and his Arkestra were the subject of a few documentary films, notably Robert Mugge’s ‘A Joyful Noise’ (1980), which interspersed performances and rehearsals with Sun Ra’s commentary on various subjects ranging from today’s youth to his own place in the cosmos. Today’s documentary, Don Letts’ ‘Sun Ra, Brother From Another Planet’ from 2005, reuses some of Mugge’s material and includes some additional interviews..."




Robert Mugge directed a great film on Gil Scott Heron, using conversations with Heron and concert footage shot in Washington DC in 1982. The film came out on dvd in the early 2000s and is easy to track down (watch some clips here).

Then there's the excellent doco on the artist Jean Michel Basquiat, by Tamra Davis, or Detroit Lives, or Helvetica, the film about a typeface. Or Fear and Loathing in Gonzovision, a 30 year old doco from the BBC..

Or The Mexican Mormon War, about how the drug cartels of Juarez, Mexico, are at war with a group of Mormons, some of whom are related to Mitt Romney

Go take a dig. Full list of all the docos here.

Ghetto Bros mix

Truth & Soul are rereleasing Power Fuerza by the Ghetto Brothers, out November 20.

From the liner notes (hat tip Egotripland): "One might expect the GB band’s oeuvre to be that of socially-conscious protest songs. But Power Fuerza isn’t nearly so easily categorised. Stylistically, it’s a confluence of both driving and gentle sounds and sensibilities. 

"It’s the product of teenaged Puerto Rican New Yorkers weaned on ’60s pop-song romance and lovely Beatles harmonies experimenting with traditional Latin and heavy Latin-rock rhythms, proudly declaring their nationalist allegiance while creating their own distinctly Nuyorican inner city blues. 

"At its root it’s a celebration of life – an inspired, emotionally unguarded cache of tracks cut by the band as though turning the tide of devastation of their crumbling South Bronx surroundings could be achieved through the exuberance of their performances."

Truth & Soul’s DJ Akalepse has put together a mix of highlights from the super deluxe CD/LP reissue of Power Fuerza, which will feature remastered audio and an extensive 80-page liner notes booklet filled with rarely-seen photos and interviews...

Pokarekare ana - Neketini Brass




Can't recall where I found this seven inch (pictured above), some op shop down country, but it's signed by Nick Nicholson and the band. Unfortunately the single inside wasn't the right one (Rod Derret - Bongo train, which is still a pretty cool tune), but I love that someone has corrected the liner notes on the back in pen. More on Nick Nicholson and the Neketini Brass here.

ADDED: Harley Williams, grandson of Neketini Brass member George Williams, got in touch with me, to ask for a copy of the scanned cover, above.He told me his Grandad  had recently joined a former bandmate onstage singing a few songs, not bad for an 89 year old, first time onstage for a decade too, apparently. Harley also told me that the Neketini Brass played at the wedding of John Grennell.

SAMPLE THIS Official Movie Trailer



The tale of one of APACHE, the greatest hiphop breaks ever, and the band behind it - Michael Viners Incredible Bongo Band. This looks seriously dope.

"SAMPLE THIS is the true story of how an unknown music producer and the greatest studio musicians of the 70's entwined to create one of the most influential albums in history.

If not for the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, it might never have happened. The gunshots that rang out in the Ambassador Hotel kitchen in June of 1968 started a music revolution. It's the story of a band that never was, a cult movie and revolutionary music from the streets of New York. A pop culture odyssey that includes Charles Manson, a former Beatle and an infamous mobster."

Color climax - Right



A project led by Simon Holloway (later of Beaver Music) and Greg Davis with Rob Salmon - Holloway worked as a producer and programmer across a number of Deepgrooves releases, most notably on Sulata's outstanding album, Kia Koe. He also worked with Phil Fuemana on UPR releases. The song Never Know by Color Climax was on the Deepgrooves 95 compilation, and was also included on this single.

RIP Captain Barkey



Jamaican singer, shot outside a motel room in the Bronx. Jamaican Obeserver reports that "Captain Barkey, who teamed with deejay partner Wickerman on the 1996 hit song Go Go Wine, is dead.

The burly ex-soldier's bullet-riddled body was found by police in a car outside a motel in the Bronx, New York early Saturday morning, the Jamaica Observer has learned

A 38 year-old woman was also in the vehicle, police reported. She was also shot multiple times. They were pronounced dead at the scene...

...Captain Barkey (real name Wayne Hamilton) was a veteran of the sound system circuit. He and Wickerman had a few minor hits before topping local charts 16 years ago with Go Go Wine."

MORE BACKGROUND: " Barkey, born Joslyn Hamilton on November 4, 1951, was reportedly shot as he sat in a car with a female companion named Tracy Bennett, 38, after they exited the Holiday Motel in the Eastchester section of the Bronx. 

The New York Police Department says the alleged gunman, who remains at large, is Joseph Kernizan, 42, the father of two of Bennett's three children. Bennett, who was also murdered, had reportedly taken out a restraining order against Kernizan who had on more than one occasion warned Hamilton to end his relationship with Bennett.

AudioCulture

Just announced, have heard this was coming... sounds promising...

AudioCulture to launch the “noisy library” of NZ music

NZ On Air today announced funding for a new website telling the story of popular New Zealand music. Made by the people who were there, AudioCulture will map the NZ music landscape, connecting people, recordings, places, scenes and record labels from the early twentieth century until today.

Until now there has been no single place to go to find out about NZ music. Information, recordings and histories are being lost. Led by site Creative Director and music doyen Simon Grigg, AudioCulture will work with artists, historians and music industry people to tell the stories of our music over the last hundred years from the first recording in the 1920s.

AudioCulture will contain reviews, discographies, interviews, biographical information, background articles, images, recordings and music videos, discussion and commentary from fans and artists.

NZ On Air chief executive Jane Wrightson said the funding agency was delighted to support the initiative. “We’ve been approached many times over the years seeking to tell the full story of popular NZ music. Until now we had never had the right vehicle,” she said. “When Simon approached us with his idea, with support from right across the music industry, we knew the time was right”, she said.

audioculture.co.nz will launch in mid 2013. The site has partnered with nzonscreen.com, the online showcase of NZ television, film and music video. The two sites will share technology, back-room resources, and governance, with the content for each site curated by separate teams.

AudioCulture, focusing on popular music, will complement the classical music site sounz.org.nz, the streaming capability of which was funded by NZ On Air in 2009.

And with its focus on the past, AudioCulture complements NZ On Air’s major online New Zealand music initiative, theaudience.co.nz, which looks to the future and new and up and coming artists.

“Countless New Zealanders treasure this content. It’s fantastic to see it being extended and brought to life with AudioCulture in a further digital initiative that NZ On Air is proud to support ” said Ms Wrightson.

Antibalas, live



"The first installment of our new video series, Live From The House Of Soul. Recorded at Daptone Records' backyard in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Directed by Philip Di Fiore. Produced by Daptone Records. Antibalas is on tour now!-www.antibalas.com"

Duke Amayo of Antibalas mentions something at the start about Daptone's studio - 'This space may not be around much longer..." Given that Daptone studio boss Gabe Roth is living in California now and is apparently starting to set up a little studio out there, maybe Daptone is shutting down their Brooklyn studio?

YGB vs YBB

Young Gifted and Broke (YGB) are a collective of local music types, including Homebrew, @peace, Christoph El Truento, Scratch22 and others, that started up a few years back.

Young Bright and Broke (YBB) is an advertising industry initiative launched on Sept 25 by CAANZ, and sponsored by APN (NZ Herald, Listener). "CAANZ's Young, Bright & Broke is here to engage, inspire and challenge the bright young talent - the future of the communications industry."

"..All the young, bright & broke’uns left the launch charged with four goals to pursue in their careers: responsibility, learning, recognition and joy. They were told the value of nurturing creativity, that even the freshest new-comer has a right to be inspired at work..." From Stoppress

Fans of  YGB have been quite vocal on YBB's Facebook page about the similarities in name. YBB have posted this in response...

" It's been a unique few days with lots of discoveries (as is usual in our jobs). A number of people have been unsettled by our name and for this we are truly sorry. Young Gifted and Broke, we love what you stand for - honest mistake." (from Oct 4). No indication they will be changing the name tho.

STKS


I went along to the release party for the new album by local hiphop MC Ermehn last Thursday night. They had a lengthy list of performers, who got up and did two or three songs each. It kept the night moving nicely.

One act that stood out was a wild looking cat named STKS, who rocked a mohawk, yellow and black checks, and an acoustic guitar. He was distinctive.

He was helped out onstage by a beatboxer and a rapper. He was very lively, a natural performer. Here's a clip of what he sounds like, plus an interview.

His debut album Rhythm And Brown dropped in August of last year. Reads Graham Reid's writeup of it here.


Sulata, NZH 13 Feb 1997


Here's Deepgrooves artist Sulata, as featured on the cover of the NZ Herald entertainment section, 13 February 1997, for an interview with Graham Reid about her debut album Kia Koe. I spent some time recently at the Auckland public library going thru their microfilm of newspapers earlier this week, lotsa fun. They have copies of the NZ Herald going all the way back to 1863, how cool is that?

Graham has posted the full interview with Sulata on his site.


Andrew B White comments on 5000ways.co.nz that Sulata's video below was "actually meant to be for the single ‘Motion’ but Kane Massey (Deepgrooves boss and director) said he didn’t want to use the money for Motion and instead do a completely different song and video. His concept was to film a bunch of local scenesters at the time at Cafe Alba on Auckland’s Lorne St (now Shenkin) – a regular hang out for Deepgrooves associates due to its proximity to Kane’s offices.

"Kane enlisted me to get a few people in the video and help him out a bit with it. Hence I’m also in the video. He was trying to get me to get Bic Runga in there too but she was away at the time." Andrew was playing bass in Bic's band back then. He was also designer for numerous Deepgrooves' CD covers.

Others in the video include Deepgrooves artists Ermehn, Greg Fleming, and Rob Salmon and Ollie Green from Urban Disturbance.

Dean Mackenzie, who edited this video with Kane, adds that "from memory, I think Kane changed the mix of the song (remixed it?) from the original RnB one [listen below] to this. Why, who knows, he was kind out there at times."

New album from Ermehn


I went along to the release party for the new album by Ermehn last night, good fun. Here's his new video, featuring PNC and Paul Bob.

Trained To kill - his third album - is out today. Produced by Anonymouz, the talented fella behind Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra's Remix The Orchestra.

Ermehn - Trained To Kill album on Amplifier // iTunes



From Amplifier: "Ermehn, one of New Zealand's Hip Hop Pioneer's hustles his way back into the game with his brand new third studio album, Trained To Kill.

Widely renowned as one of the best lyricists and storytellers in NZ Hip Hop, Ermehn once again weaves true life stories and recollections of growing up in Otara over intricate Anonymouz productions.

The album also features stellar verses and hooks from guest artists such as Boo Yaa Tribe's Gangxsta Rid, PNC, Chong-Nee, Dei Hamo, fellow Otara rappers Tha Movement, Mr Sicc, Young Sid and many others.
It is an unflinching insight into the mindset of a youth growing up in 1980's South Auckland eventually joining and subsequently leaving gang life as told by a now much more wiser and mature proud father of three living in the Hibiscus Coast, practicing various martial art disciplines and running his own security company, Pride Security.

Once again powerfully delivered in his unmistakable rap tone and flow, it is a very raw, powerful and dramatic piece of lyrical and production artistry that is guaranteed to draw you deep into its mayhem, trials, tribulations, hope and triumph."

Sir Howard Maori medley



Not great audio quality, but you get Sir Howard's great swinging 60s beat-combo versions of some Maori tunes... not a million miles from the Neketini Brass...

In 1966, Sir Howard starred in a great Kiwi pop movie/musical extravaganza called Don't Let It Get You (directed by John O'Shea), here he is singing the theme tune, a marvellous uptempo groover... dude sure could swing... You can watch the full film at NZOnScreen.

There were only three feature films made in NZ between the end of WWII and 1972, and John O'Shea was responsible for all of them.

Nu-Mark, solid steel



DJ Nu-Mark, brand new tune off his new joint, out Oct 9, guesting is Quantic and crew, PLUS it has steel drums. What more could you want?

Nu-Mark sez "On Oct. 9 we are releasing our 4th Series from my upcoming Broken Sunlight release." There ya go.

Grace interviewed, 95



Auckland band Grace (Anthony, Jason and Paul Ioasa) interviewed about their debut album Black Sand Shore, on music show Frenzy, TV3, from 1995. Directed by Ross Cunningham. edited by Gregor Boyd, animations by John Pain, voiceover by Kate Stalker. Thanks to Ross for the vhs.


Nick Bollinger felt the Grace debut album worthy of inclusion in his 2009 book of 100 essential New Zealand albums, excerpted below...

"Anthony, Jason and Paul Ioasa were first-generation New Zealanders whose parents had eloped from Samoa in the early '60s.

Their father, a tough disciplinarian, distanced his sons from their Samoan roots, believing it was the only way for them to succeed in a predominantly white society. But he was also a musician, and when his boys weren't doing their homework he would coach them in drums, keyboards and guitars.

By the time they made Black Sand Shore, the brothers were all accomplished instrumentalists and fine singers.

On first hearing, it is hard to guess where Grace's mellifluous grooves come from. The tone and texture recall the sophisticated British pop of the period: Steve Winwood, Peter Gabriel, the Blue Nile and Scritti Politti. Musically cosmopolitan, it combines elements of jazz, classical and rock....

...But if Grace's music invites escape, the title song brings it all back home, vividly evoking Auckland's west coast in imagery and shimmering sonics....

...Sadly, there would not be a sequel to this bold debut. Before the decade was over, Jason had given up music to pursue a career as a merchant banker. Anthony flourished as a writer of hit songs, especially for reality TV band True Bliss, while Paul moved to the United States, where he was killed in a car accident in 2003."

This album came out in two versions of the artwork - this is the later one, repackaged for Australian release

Tipene vs Tui

Local hiphop MC Tipene dropped a cool tune called West Side Hori, repping his hood, Flaxmere, earlier this year (produced by Juse) - the bro is out on his front lawn with his mates, wearing his white gumboots and rapping up a storm.  It's wicked.

His new jam features a sample from Prince Tui Teka (was talking with DT at the weekend about Tipene, he hipped me to this tune), which instantly makes  me want to check it. Go have a listen... it's pretty damn sweet...

James Murphy is cooler than you



On Todd Terje's 'Let's Nerd' blog, he asked how you got that distinctive LCD Soundsystem drum sound. And you gave him every single clue, every single secret. Is that something you're cool with now?

'I've always been cool with it. I've never guarded a technique in my life. I want music to sound better. I think I'm good at making it, so I would like other people to know how it's done. If there's some kid that can use that information and a light bulb goes off in their head, that's great.'

But isn’t there a danger that everything could end up sounding the same?


'I don't think we're having that problem – I think the problem we're having is all drums sound like Daft Punk. I love them, but if another producer tries to make their drums sound like Daft Punk drums then put a pop/R&B thing on, I'm gonna fly to whatever city they're in and shoot them in the face.'

Murphy also gives  a shout out to NZers in London, making good quality coffee. Shot, bro.
