SWEET MIX KIDS ft Rei and Maya -
Worldwide Djs and producer duo, gracing the stage of some of the biggest festivals ever - Coachella for example...SWEET MIX KIDS FT. MAYA & REI – GET SERIOUS
Kiwi DJ/Production duo & VNZMA Finalists Sweet Mix Kids (Sandom Ihaia and Chris Scott), recently crafted a trans-Tasman pop duet between
Australian artist MAYA and dropped in a te reo Māori verse from Aotearoa’s own Rei called ‘Get Serious.’
‘Get Serious’ is the age-old sound of a relationship finding its boundaries as MAYA and Rei playfully explore what they
want and expect from one another
over another high vibe Sweet Mix Kids production.
MAYA, rules the track with her strong vocals and presence, while Rei brings more of his native language to an
international pop canvas. You’ve never heard te reo Māori in this way before, and Rei is definitely bringing sexy back
to te reo Māori music in 2020.
The song drips of summer pool parties, tropicana summers and steamy nights… or Sweet Mix Kids usual weekend shows! While
they wind themselves around the world, SMK are always making new tunes. ‘Get Serious’ was written, produced and
performed by Sweet Mix Kids, MAYA & Rei and the tune is mixed and mastered by Miles Walker at Silent Sound Studios (Beyonce, Rihanna, KYGO) in Atlanta.
Assisted by Ryan Jumper.
Sweet Mix Kids have released loads of tunes as producers and collaborators such as -
‘Im Keanu Reeves’ (ft Kid Rei, Quin Devero and Marina Katerina)
‘Never Have I Ever’ (ft Cee-Blu and Rei),
‘Oh No’ (ft Laughton Kora)

It’s rare to find a more exciting working music duo than JOY and LIBEAU. They are always writing music, for the pure
love of making music, rather than the usual album or project album format. Whether watching their jams or going through
their newest tunes, it’s always like you're welcomed into their world of experimentation.
This is their latest single ‘Every Good Thing’ and it was written after the passing of a friend. From the soft house kick, to the vibrant stabs, in regular JOY style
nothing is expected from the start to the end. The track has an eerie undertone but it is bubbly and joyous at the same
time…Check out the ‘Every Good Thing’ Single here
“I felt him there with me and the song is just an expression of the one sided conversation I had with him the days
following. I was flooded with memories, all the beautiful moments and quirks of personality, humour, and kindnesses.
Heiner Dunke.’ JOY
A true musician, Joy is always writing and exploring sound and sharing what he creates… in 1 year he dropped 3 EPs and
an album and looks to drop another album, this year in July, as the music doesn't stop. Libeaus voice has a rich, smooth
chocolatey quality and matched with JOYs unique layered beats, you’d be pressed to find a sound that can match up.
JOY x LIBEAU love to push music boundaries, such as performing their Zen sessions in nature and streaming straight from
their studio. They have also made art with fragmented sounds, such as when they set up and performed for 3 days in the Christchurch Plume Store Window, which features NomDs style and fashion, an inspiration for the duo.Get lost inside their sound and catch your own rhythm.

JOYXLIBEAU INSTAGRAMCACO - young new rapper/singer/producer from south Auckland/Arabian heritage
Staying true to his hard work ethic, Raneem aka CACO is back with a personal Anthem called 'Myself'.
Listen here (on Spotify)
This is the second tune released from this young upcoming artist and even though it is on the grittier side of hip-hop,
it is super catchy and CACO produced the track with his ‘lone-wolf’ style, which is no small feat! The last single was
‘She Dont Want’ ft Sam V, which did well considering it amidst lockdown.
Hailing from South Auckland and proudly of Arabian descent, CACO’s lyrical content and cadence in ‘Myself’ is staunch
and a straight up tone. It is also a self-anthem motivational track about getting things done, which is what gives this
track a kiwi vibe, as we are known as a DIY nation.
The self-produced track also showcases CACO's Middle Eastern background with bouncy, perc-laden drums and ethnic
instrumentation, which stays connected to his roots however, still integrates into the Aotearoa musical landscape.
‘Myself’ pays homage to CACO’s cultural influences and also tells his story of music producing and coming up as an
independent artist.
