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."
