Gig Review: NGĀ TUONE by Riki Gooch (November 20, 2020)

Riki Gooch: NGĀ TUONE St. Peter’s on Willis, Wellington Jazz Festival Friday, November 22 I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone else that thinks about music the way Riki Gooch does. You can pile up any of the usual clichés – the music flows through him, he is a conduit for groove, he lives and […]

Julien Dyne: December

Julien Dyne December BBE For Julien Dyne’s third album it’s more of the same – in terms of quality, in terms of the overall waft; the placement of after-hours soul music, broken-beat restored, wonky, woozy, wobbly no more. But each album is a progression for this talented musician and beat maker, each album has its […]

Ladi6: Automatic

Ladi6 Automatic Question Music I’ve never really been a fan of Ladi6 in the sense that I don’t retain the albums – can’t recall anything particularly wonderful from her two previous full-lengthers – but I’ve seen her perform a few times and she’s a great live act. Like, always worth seeing. A great band with […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1785

Julien Dyne, Pins & Digits (2009) I knew Julien Dyne was a great drummer, having heard a bunch of his work away from his solo material where he extends the role out to beat-maker, producer, songwriter, DJ. There’s a lot of twisted-disco and broken-beat soul-music and the like that I am a huge fan of […]
