Musical Youth
Our PO Box was full of CDs yesterday from people wanting to sign to our indie label. I love hearing tracks from new producers, and the quality has been surprisingly good. Now we have to sift out the best stuff, give it a final polish and get it up for sale. We launched in December with four hard dance tracks but we’ve got all sorts in the pipeline, from funky house, to drum & bass, electronica and leftfield.

New Zealand Hip Hop's ScribeWe’ve just signed our youngest NZ producer - who is only 8. He's written a track called ‘Lync’s Little Red Car’ with his dad, which is hands in the air Ibiza style trance. The words are really funny and I particularly love the bit at the end: ‘How many cars do you know go beep like this? Not many.’ Every New Zealander will spot the Scribe reference.

My favourite track at the moment is andy qroniq’s remix of Unhealthy Activity by The WBC. Fat and filthy Break-beat Ska. I’m loving it!
