Free download for you: LOVE ALONE REMIX ft. David Dallas + Vince Harder

After the tragic events in Samoa last week, a group of top New Zealand entertainers have rallied together for a massive benefit concert on Monday 19th October 2009 at the Vector Arena in Auckland.
When the Tsunami hit Samoa last week, it personally affected Scribe and Savage who lost their family villages and family members in the disaster. Along with Dawn Raid, Oscar Kightley and Ole Maiava, they rapidly organized a dream line up of top NZ musicians who had no hesitation in donating their performances to this worthy cause.
All businesses, personnel and artists have given their services for free, therefore 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Samoa.

We urge all New Zealanders to support this event to aid our fellow citizens of Samoa. Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin dates and line ups to be announced shortly.

Zane Lowe and MistaJam have been hammering my latest tune "Love Alone" (ft. Vince Harder) all over UK radio today. What an epic start to the month! MistaJam pulled the record back 6 times in his mixshow on 1xtra and check what Zane had to say about it here. 

Woohoo A-Trak is coming to town! But I must draw your attention to one thing that is wrong with the above poster.

Regrettably, I am NOT performing at this show. I would love to be there, but I will not be. I will be overseas at the time of the show.
For the sake of transparency; The show was offered to me but I gave notice (in July) that I would not be available on the said date due to travel commitments. Somewhere in the chain of command a mistake has been made and my name is on the poster. Sorry for anybody who was looking forward to my involvement with this gig. Im kinda bummed myself to be missing it. But hey, the main event is A-TRAK! He is, in my honest opinion, the best all around DJ in the world today. Style, selection, tricks, scratches, he's got it all. Go see a living legend at work!

you read the headline, now go get it!

Go on Edith! More airplay action this week as we have scored a Record Of The Week on Radio 1 courtesy of lunchtime DJ Edith Bowman. Wicked!

Due to some (fairly manageable) jetlag, I woke up very early this morning to the news that my single "Everything" (featuring the incredibly talented Vince Harder) had just been added to the BBC Radio 1 playlist! If you've been following this blog you will know very well by now that we've been steadily gaining interest, love and airplay for the single in the UK since late last year. My goal since March was to get on the Radio 1 playlist, and here we f**kin are!! Next move is of course to move up the list and continue to grow and advance etc etc... and we shall get to that.

This news comes as the perfect accompaniment to what was a considerably successful jaunt to the UK. To fill you in, about two weeks ago me and my trusty partner in all thing's 'Dirty' (Dirty Records and Management that is) Mr. Callum August took to the skies and winged our way across seas to my ancestral country of origin. Our mission was two-fold, to meet with the great team who have been enlisted to work our single and to meet with other interested parties as to their potential involvement in my international career.
It's fair to say I have every confidence in our UK team and today's news further reinforces that faith. Go team! I'm also very glad to have made the many new acquaintances we did in the past week.

I've been gearing myself up for a move to the UK for quite some time now and this past week (and todays incredible news!) has definitely increased the urgency of those plans. It's time to pack my bags. I'm looking forward to using this current momentum to spread my music far and wide. The door has been opened and I'm stepping in. Hi folks, nice to meet you!

Keep up with my blog HERE.

My man Scribe came over to the house tonight. We haven't kicked it in ages. It was really good to catch up. He was a little late getting here from the airport so I decided to mess around and make some beats while waiting. I hooked up this one particular record, that I had been saving for him, and had it ready to go once he arrived. Scribe jumped on it and we recorded this demo about half an hour ago. We like it a lot. Here it is for your listening pleasure. We thought we should share ;) Download Link: Scribe & P-Money - "Greenlight, Go" [DEMO]
