Stuff.co.nz report that the current site for Real Groovy, at 369 Queen St, has been listed as an apartment development by Conrad Properties.
"Conrad Properties Group is the company developing the apartments, the
same group that built the apartments at the 438 Queen St site [Real Groovy's former home].
"Conrad Properties Group says on its website Queens Park Residences will have 111 units, 69 of which are pre-sold. One bedroom units would sell for at least $1 million .... Details about the development are limited but it appears the existing building will be retrofitted with apartments."
Real Groovy shifted out of 438 Queen St, at the end of 2015, to make way for a 226 unit apartment building.
They took a 3 year lease (with a 6 month development clause) on the space formerly occupied in and office block by the Salvation army church. No official comment as yet from Real Groovy.

"Off of Charles Bradley's upcoming album Black Velvet, “I Feel a Change” was originally recorded as part of the Victim Of Love sessions.
November 5, 2018 would have been Charles Bradley’s 70th birthday. In celebration of his extraordinary life, Daptone imprint Dunham Records will release his fourth and final album on November 9.
Black Velvet will feature ten studio recordings never before included on any album. Black Velvet is a celebration of Charles Bradley, lovingly assembled by his friends and family at Dunham/Daptone Records.
Though chronologically the material spans Charles' entire career, this is no anthology, greatest hits or other shallow rehashing of the songs that already made him famous.
Rather, this album is a profound exploration through the less-travelled corners of the soulful universe that Charles and his longtime producer, co-writer and friend Tommy "TNT" Brenneck created in the studio together over their decade-long partnership."
"Kawuku Sound is the coming together of UK producers Contours & Cervo and Ugandan percussion troupe Fonkodelis Arkestra. This is the culmination of a month-long creative process that was born out of the Nyege Nyege affiliated Boutiq Studio in Kawuku, Kampala, Uganda.
The music was written and recorded in this shared residency space, home to musicians and visual artists from all over East Africa and beyond and a hub for Kampala’s underground electronic music scene. Boutiq Studio’s DIY mentality provided the perfect environment for experimentation, allowing the fusion of these disparate sounds.
Kawuku Sound is a reflection of this, merging the hypnotic and trance-inducing percussion of Buganda drumming with elements of contemporary electronics and traditional instrumentation.
This the first album release to come out on Manchester imprint Banana Hill as they continue to push the boundaries of afro-electronic sounds."
What it sez on the label... "Dengue Dengue Dengue are the Peruvian duo known for raising a tropical storm. Their electronic psychedelia and bass flows from their roots in Lima, Perú upstream to global dancefloors. In this 6-tracker Dengue Dengue Dengue team-up with label mates Penya.
The band feature on the first track ‘Pua’ that sets a rich scene for the sonic journey ahead. The flip is stormed with title track ‘Semillero' whilst hearts, minds and imaginations are set to be inspired with their versioning of ‘Habu Raminibu’ which is a healing chant of the Huni Kuin people whose ancient home is located deep in the Amazon where the borders of Peru and Brazil meet. ’Semillero' is music that moves souls, allows imaginations to flourish and the feet to follow."
Out 21st September on vinyl/digital from On The Corner Records
"South London producer Aeshim is returning with another four-pack of
beats and sounds created on his treasured Juno 6 synthesiser.
As with the debut One Week Peak, released in April of this year, each
track was allowed a limited amount of hours to find itself, over just a
couple of weeks. Now, from another eight pieces completed, he has
selected four to represent his music, at this moment in 2018.
The first track to see light of day is Try Love, pure sunshine sounds to
open up this summer endeavor. The tropical bounce of percussion and
kalimba-like melodies is woven through with the wistful vocals of
Manchester-newcomer Alice Higgins – a regular collaborator with Wah Wah
45s artist Hunrosa."

THE MAN FROM MO'WAX
Exclusive Auckland screening and after party, September 15th
Not your average night out at the movies...
An exclusive Auckland cinema screening for NZ fans and new converts of the legendary Mo'Wax Record Label, followed by an after party within the actual movie theatre! Taking care of deck duties on the night will be heavy hitting DJ's Manuel Bundy, Stinky Jim, Dylan C, Cian & Vee, all of whom were inspired by and collected releases from this label throughout its history.
Not one to snooze on, this is your only chance to check out the documentary on the big screen in AK and get to party in one of New Zealand's most iconic movie theatres.
The Man From Mo’Wax tells the remarkable story of one of the most influential musical figures in contemporary British club culture. As the head of the stylish Mo’Wax imprint, that came to recognition for being at the forefront of trip hop, turntablism and alternative hip hop during the mid-1990’s, James Lavelle was the coolest kid on the block - a one man British retort to the Beastie Boys.
Lavelle almost single-handedly built up Mo’Wax in his late teens and was a millionaire by the age of 21. Unearthed from over 700 hours of footage including exclusive personal archive spanning three decades, we get the rare opportunity to watch a boy become a man in the world of music. His phenomenally rapid rise seemed limitless, but it’s only when you’re going so fast that the wheels fall off.
He brought us landmark records from DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, Air, Innerzone Orchestra, Rob D, Money Mark, Tommy Guerrero and Blackalicious; proved a catalyst in the ongoing renaissance of punk funk by reissuing key Liquid Liquid releases and eased the enigmatic genius of producer David Axelrod into the spotlight once more. His way with aesthetics made record packaging and artwork interesting again with the help of Swifty and Futura 2000.
DOORS FROM 7PM
SCREENING @ 8pm
Starring: DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, 3D of Massive Attack, Futura, Ian Brown, Grandmaster Flash and Joshua Homme.
