Should be a mad night! See you there.

I’ve been posting about & collaborating with nsu for years now so I’m stoked to be able to post that his first official single is now available from all good online music retailers.

The Juice of Life / West Coast Dub release is “…a double A-side single comprising of Juice Of Life, an uplifting old school breakbeat funk-rush, backed by West Coast Dub, an organic dub cut, a vocal piece featuring didgeridoo and a lapsteel solo by Jus8ken.”

So go grab it from iTunes now, for only USD$3.99 you get a couple of corking NZ tunes to start your southern summer off with! I have a feeling this summer is going to be a good one already.

Occasionally I join my mate Ivan on his radio show on UPFM on Sunday afternoons. It’s always good fun and I normally come away with a few new tunes to put on the iPod.

The latest of these is nsu – Sixteen 786 feat. Lost in Japan [Romantech Remix]. (I should point out nsu is Ivan’s musical pseudonym & currently stands for “Naughty Sex Unit”). The Romantech remix of Sixteen 786 is an ambient number that reminds me of flying back from a holiday, relaxed & refreshed.

The good news for you (& me!) is that the remix is available as a free download along with the rest of the tracks on the Sonic Debris Remixes EP. These are all currently available at e-lusive.net.

Have you seen this? I just…

I live in the wrong country.
