Scribe - Not Many Cities Single Review

05 Oct 2011 // A review by Dilemma

There really could have been no better ambassador to raise awareness for Christchurch than Scribe. The Southern born rapper who is known for his own quiet strength, persistence and resilience, has always been proud of his roots. From the very beginning Scribe has paid tribute to Christchurch in his music and interviews and was so honoured to be asked to rejuvenate and remix his top selling single Not Many for the people of Christchurch and also for the people of New Zealand who have all been affected by the Earthquakes. Scribe himself lost a cousin in this tragedy and used making the music video for ‘Not Many Cities’ as a therapeutic journey through emotions in the Red Zone, still with it’s unsafe signs, the apparent devastation was used to outlay the strength, resilience and hope that is still in the people of Canterbury.

The reason for making this music video is to show the people of New Zealand thanks for their support and to show that the heart and community spirit of the people in Churchurch is still alive. There is more we can do as a nation to continue the rebuilding and support so please go and purchase ‘Not Many Cities’ from http://www.amplifier.co.nz/all the proceeds go to Plunket to help the new generations of proud Cantabrians who hopefully some day will also be able to take their music to the world in the footsteps of Scribe.

TREi - Satellites LP Review
30 Apr 2013 // by Dilemma
I’ll be honest I didn’t even know NZ had Drum n Bass DJ’s let alone a whole industry and a producer who was on to his second album, but that’s why I love NZ, because of our diversity of amazing music. I’m going to put it out there pretty quick that I’m not usually a fan of the dirty drum n bass thing, but I was given the Album Satellites to take a listen to and I was highly impressed.

Junica - The Celebration Album Review
30 Nov 2012 // by Dilemma
I first remember hearing Junica AKA Nik Brinkman back in 2011 when Living In My House featuring Pip Brown Aka Ladyhawke was released and I thought it was good a bit 80's disco and shiny mirrorballs. Unfortunately that first single was released at the same time as The Naked and Famous were big and I really didn't take a lot of notice because the N&F are so good at what they do.

RIANZ 47th Annual Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards
15 Nov 2012 // by Dilemma
When you kick off any kind of ceremony with 3 drummers  smashing double kick pedals completely in unison backing NZ’s own rock superstar Gin Wigmore, you would think that there is no actual way that a night could start or end any better! But we wouldn’t expect anything less being that this was the beginning of the 47th Annual Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards held at the Vector Arena earlier this month.
