Busting out some jams for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 📣
The Bgirl Breaking event at Paris 2024 Olympics was incredible just now!! They showed out for themselves, their country and our dance.
Plus the event had the best vibes with DJ's, MC's and crowd giving it heaps. Awesome! Bboys tomorrow 😀
Yo! Happy Birthday to our shop 🎉
Being a co-op of 8 people allows us to share the wins and absorb the challenges of small business.
It's been a FUN journey with the crew seeing the community rally around Fossick and grow it into a great little destination ☺️
You are invited to party with us this Friday at Fossick's First Birthday Party 🎂
It's an honour to be 1 of 3 judges for Fusion Concept NZ which sees the winning duo progress to the WORLD FINAL in Paris, France next month 🌎
Each of us have been chosen as we have played a significant role in shaping our Street Dance community, which makes it even more humbling.
August 3 in AKL if anyone wants to buy tickets to an incredible night 😀 And if you dance, consider entering or watching!

Celebrating my fav funky NZ band Collision from back in the day on this 💥
Several weeks ago I was DJing to a beach full of international dancers at the Radikal Forze Hancai Beach Party in Da Nang, Vietnam!
I've now uploaded the re-recorded mix to Soundcloud which you can listen to here: https://on.soundcloud.com/eaMa5
Much gratitude to RF, fellow DJs, and the hundreds of dancers there who made me feel welcome 🙏
This German cat came looking for NZ records on his holiday. He's a musician with a following, and he was recommended to touch base with me from some friends.
He had done some research, so his stack of local wax was decent before I helped him refine it and a add a few more goodies 😀
How refreshing it is to be sought after for musical taonga, and how rewarding it is to meet an audio tourist who wants meaningful souvenirs to spin back in his homeland 🔥
Good meeting ya Carsten
Ready for Raglan Sunday Sessions 🌊
I have the privilege of playing 100% NZ Funk, Soul & Disco records at Raglan Sunday Sessions this Sunday 8-10pm.
For a country abounding in culture with rich musical heritage, clubs and bars are almost exclusively filled with offshore music.
My mission is to create a dancefloor filled with Soul from Aotearoa. What can you expect? Rare grooves to make your rear move 😁
Come catch a wave and kanikani 🌊
Free 6-7pm, $10 from 7pm. DJs 6-late

Hectic weekend as a coach for our NZ Breaking team at Oceania Breaking Champs, Sydney!

Why am I holding the holy grail of NZ Funk records in my hand?
I'll tell you why! This record only released in a 1968 Hong Kong newspaper had Christchurch legend Peter Nelson singing his funky lungs out and I'm off to Chch to bring my 100% NZ Soul, Funk & Disco set to the good people there 🔥
I'm packing my record bags and playing:
Sep 29 SUPER DISCO w/ Dujon Cullingford & Max Serra (Disco Drongos) w/ Tub's Audio & Japanese x Māori cuisine

Scouring through old imagery on the shelf just in case there is time to curate a Reo Māori mix for Te Wiki O Te Reo Māori 🔥
The last one I did was 2 years ago and a heap of fun. Loved putting people on to some obscure Māori Soul from back in the day:

We made the paper 🎉
The latest addition of a vintage collectibles co-op shop in the heart of Hamilton aims to become a destination for collectors.
2 years ago we launched a pop-up shop. Tonight, 7 of us launch a permanent community / vintage space with Fossick Grand Opening Party 🎉 Nau mai for a drink + chat 😀
Exciting news! 7 of us launched Fossick vintage / collectables shop 2 weeks ago and now we invite everyone to our Fossick Grand Opening Party next Friday 🥳
This is a chance to grab a drink, visit our shop after hours, find a gem or just mix + mingle! Giveaways and dress up if you like.
Celebrate our new Collective store with us 😀
Our new vintage spot Fossick looks better each day 😀 Pic sent in by a customer
Really enjoyed this conversation with Rosalie on Free FM about youth, co-design and my teen days of finding myself through music + dance! Wholesome chat!

His smooth R&B jam Blind Love from 1989 is now on my YouTube channel dedicated to preserving forgotten NZ grooves: https://youtu.be/_fP7O5L99Zs
