I’ve been waiting for the new album by Wellington’s Fat Freddy’s Drop for a long time. The new album, Blackbird, which was released in June, is their third studio album and the first studio album since 2009.

Album review: Gratitute – P Money
GRATITUDE P-Money (FMG/Universal) The Kiwi turntablist-turned-producer has a heck of a lot to thank for his American dream of an album.
Album review: Shadow Light – Tahuna Breaks
SHADOW LIGHT Tahuna Breaks (Rhythmethod) Having the balls to ask Brit house combo Crazy P to co-produce their first offering in close on four years but not having the cash to fly them out to NZ has been a double-edged sword for the Kiwi funksters’ third full-lengther. Sure, it took a little longer and meant they missed out on soundtracking New Zealand’s endless summer, but having Crazy P’s influence unencumbered by pohutakawa beach parties gives Shadow Light a euro-dance edge and shows them truly moving on from the days of Giddy Up and their Aotearoa backyard reggae styles.
