PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE USE
CHART is proud to announce CHARTDISC Volume 3 2010
The Downbeat Chill Edition – 1 May 2010
Christchurchmusic.org.nz is proud to announce the forthcoming release of CHARTDISC VOL 3 the Downbeat Chill Edition for
NZ Music Month 2010.
With the generous support and assistance of Double Happy, Becks and Licence to Chill, CHART has produced a 12 track
album of delicious, soulful electronica, from some of the freshest acts the garden city has to offer.
Within this 12 track sampler the listener will experience an eclectic mix of artists. From the sexy dubstep stylings of
Truth, Ghost, Mr Squatch, Mmdelai, Switch, Sanchez and Nacoa, through to the stripped back indietronica of Anthesiac and
back to the laid back hip hop infused sounds of Electric Wire Hustle, and JDubs, with a slice of smooth funk and jazz
influenced beats, courtesy of Carmel Courtney and Max Maxwell, nRt and Departure Lounge, to round it all off.
As summer turns to autumn, this timeless collection will take the listener on a seasonal journey through the winter
months and back out the other side into summer 2011, as the tracks blend together a sense of warmth, juxtaposed with a
feeling of cool summer streams. This album is a must for those looking forward to hitting the slopes this winter.
Otautahi (Christchurch) has without question, always been at the forefront of much of Aotearoa’s electronica movement
and a number of the artists showcased here are at the leading edge of fresh musical adventures, in dubstep, jazz and
bass and hip hop. As a group dedicated to supporting and furthering the advancement of new music and Christchurch acts,
CHART is extremely excited and impressed by the excellent standard of tunes on CHARTDISC VOL 3 the downbeat chill
edition, and recommends the listener play on high rotation.
CHARTDISC Volume 3 2010 has been hand-picked to be turned up loud for NZ Music Month 2010, is available from the 1st of
May and is for promotional/broadcast only.
