Latest Goodies
Track Danger - Verse Two
Danger is the first in release in ages from Verse Two. It will be on sale in a couple of months on limited edition
vinyl. It features the vocals of Ladi 6 and was inspired by the events of September 11.
Classic Album Navigator - Che Fu
With Che Fu set to release a new album we thought it would be good to look back at the classic Navigator. Navigator Che
Fu was made with The Krates, P-Money and The Villajah MC's. Navigator entered the NZ top 50 chart in 2001 at Number 1
and stayed there for three consecutive weeks.
Video Getting Stronger - Adeaze
Getting Stronger from Adeaze, which features the amazing talents of vocalist Aaradhna, topped the Amplifier charts for
several weeks. This video will show you why.
Track Baby Don't Go Home - OdESSA
Baby Don't Go Home is the first single from Wellington band OdESSA's debut album, Oak Park Avenue, which is due for
release in July/August 2005. Fresh from supporting Goldenhorse and gigging with Flash Harry, Baby Don’t Go Home manages
to capture the sheer energy of an OdESSA live show in a blistering two minutes and twenty one seconds.
Classic Video Nice Day For An Earthquake - Jakob
Uplifting yet dark and intense, both sonically massive and delicately complex. Jakob defy definition and while many
influences come to mind theirs is a unique sound. Nice Day For An Earthquake is a classic track from their album Subset
of Sets. Sitting on a mountain top with a TV and an axe, the timing of the action is perfect!
