faae – marsupial
“Do you hear your fingers gliding along the strings? Do you hear how the voice -faae is echoing with a pleasant, acoustic melody? Hear how inside you, where your heart beats, something wakes up after a long sleep. This is talking to you your soul, who thanks you for such beauty. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

The song is an ambient, indie-folk track inspired by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Phoebe Bridgers, and Joni Mitchell. The song captures the softness of interconnectedness and hard to let go of relationships with the safe spaces and people you long to grow out of. Taking a note from the different melodic structures of folk and the natural environment, this track strikes a balance of soft and firm, just like the Earth it grew out of. Perfect for rainy cinematic drives and letting it go in the woods.

This song is about a girl who is tired of being stuck in the same place and stale routine. She dreams about being free, getting lost in the sky with the wind in her hair on the open road. Her boyfriend wants her to be happy, he's ready for the journey as anywhere with her is home.

This piece with tenor sax, percussion, acoustic bass and piano is very lively and jazzy. The piano plays a catchy and repetitive pattern with the sax in the chorus section that also works well with the bass and percussion.

Stephen Caulfield – The Night Came For You – Acoustic
“Do you feel the noise of the city dissolve outside the windows? The wind subsides, the sun goes beyond the horizon and a dark, faceless night comes. It's time to listen to a new, acoustic track -stephen caulfield- and take a break from everything that bothered you during the day. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

-Nagamag.com
The Night Came For You is an alternative ambient singer-songwriter song about succumbing to the darkness of the night and the temptations that it offers. It is built around a series for repeating musical phrases and tape loops with the vocals being joined by more and more layers and harmonies as it progresses, before fading with the final vocal loop distorting and degrading through repetition.

Fasù – Easy Time
“The success of this track lies in shock and bass, because they create the entire rhythm and melody of the song. You are covered by a wave of beautiful sound Indietronica, drawing a juicy picture in the imagination. Before you is a night sky, and a blue bird flies under the clouds. She, like you, is free from everything, and her main goal is to fly to blinding stars. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Успех этого трека заключается в ударных и басах, потому что они создают весь ритм и мелодику песни. Вас накрывает волна красивого звука Indietronica, рисуя в воображении сочную картинку. Перед вами ночное небо, а под облаками летит синяя птица. Она, как и вы, свободна от всего, а её главная цель – полёт к ослепляющим звёздам.”

This tune is about a relationship that starts out super easy and uncomplicated, only to become messy and convoluted.
The Tuff Lions – G.O.D
“In each of its new track -the Tuff Lions, the Melody and Rhythms of Reggae and Afrobeats are funded and rich in emotions.

Huia x Sean Richards – Punakaiki, Eyes Shine
“Connected with the bright Sun and the infinity of the ocean, this Drum & Bass track will travel you in exotic places. A collaborative production where soft vocals contradict with fast breaks in the most balanced way. Interesting result from experienced artists.”

Coast after Coast, Bay after Bay
Tūāuri, Kīkorangi, Valley and Sea
Up with the Sun, Ride with the Moon
Running the Road down. No one to hide from now’
“‘Punakaiki’ is a tribute to a memory and to one of Aotearoa’s iconic spots on the West Coast of Te Wai Pounamu, South Island, close to Seans home of Whakatū, Nelson.
This waiata was penned by Huia after a sporadic 2 day trip, organised by the Sweet Mix Kids, for a crew of new friends to journey to Māwhera (Greymouth) and wind back through the stunning passes, over valleys and sea.
Their last stop was at Punakaiki aka ‘Pancake rocks’. With bright blue skies to light the way, the group of 30 wandered through nikau and punga groves, to visit what Huia refers to as ‘our rocky ancestors’, ‘ngā tīpuna kohatu’.
Written bilingually, in te reo Māori and english, Huia and Sean feel this is the natural state of Aotearoa and its people. With the smooth stream of Sean's high-level musicianship, combined with Huia’s lyrical wairua (energy), ‘Punakaiki’ came to be and is another te ro Māori Dnb tune produced at Kog Studio.
‘Punakaiki’ is also a banger of DnB tune!
A tribute to Aotūroa, our living heritage, ‘Punakaiki’ is a liquid DNB tune, however, Huia and Sean offer it as another step in the evolution of musicianship for te ao Māori and a link asset to the restorative language process happening around the world.
Both Sean and Huia have a full music journey happening in 2022. Sean is releasing new tunes and performing all the time as well as co-writing, Huia is music educating with Paige Julia and Ed Zuccholo and keeping the MPGNZ cranking… they also have a new tune coming out in June for Matariki, a remix of Huia’s song ‘Tui Tuia’ which is also another liquid DNB te reo Māori waiata.
