Days of thunder meet Monster truck derby Nesian style

It's been a little while in the making, but we can now unveil to you our latest video. The concept came from songs concept of not wanting to come second in to win this girl. So with that in mind I approache Luke Sharp the director with a racing car enalogy and without needing to pitch he saw the concept. I was alittle nervous how we were going to pull this off with it easily being our ambitious work we're ever set out to achieve in front of the camera.

But with the relationship we had with Luke and the bond with the rest of the team there was a respected trust which can only come from seeing what quality he can really deliver. I mean if it was anyone else i was dealing with i wouldn't have had the kohuna's to dream of being able to achieve what the Bunker media team can deliver.

The next step in the process was Tarsh our stylist, this was beyond any other shoot we had ever done before because our clothes were really our only props.....everything else apart form a little box and the steering wheel were graphics. So it was so important that the gear was spot on. The look I requested for the bro's was a more leatherly look along the lines of a motor bike racer and Tarsh came with the idea's of different colours and characters. What she sourced was bloody amazing and she took the production on set to a whole new level. We had a bro who was on hand building stuff and altering the little box prop car we had.

It was important for me that we kept a simple storyline to accompany the race and commentators were a great idea Luke brought forward just adding to the whole drama and humour of the race atmosphere. Our good friends Nate & Jandals had been ribbing Donie for always saying he'd put him in a clip only for it never to happen, so when the commentator positions came up it was a no brainer. Their chemistry is a natural one and they were awesome as true to Nesian 101 principals we were running 3 hours behind schedule and they were so patient....true brofreshionals.

Obviously the post production and graphics were a massive part of the video and we had a great team that gave over and above of their talents to see this come to fruition. Our aim was to take Aotearoa video's to another level, as the financial crunch we felt had really affected what people were willing to try to achieve.

The single becomes available for purchase next week on the 15th. Without further adew hope you enjoy the vid check it out by clicking on this link below. file was to big to upload :)

Nesian Mystik [Feat MC Arme, Adeaze, 3HD, Silva, Indira] - Sun Goes Down...

I've had so many people ask me for this remix, well thanks to some random person that put it up on youtube i'm a hook you up.

This remix came together real quick, due simply because i felt the track touchs upon a few different styles of music which i thought would be cool to pursue in more depth. All the people who featured in the track are all artist i've been fan's of for a while now and was stoked we could finally get them on a track. It literally all came together in 4 days and thanks to Dmon our producer listening to my random requests we were able to complete it.

It's always a funny feeling when you do a remix cause it always raises the hard question of comparison to the original and the age old debate.....is the remix better than the original? I don't really mind either way as it was so much fun to make. Seriously Adeaze are the most talented singer's i feel this country have ever producered but don't ask Keri TeKanawa cause she's a hater lol.

Hope you enjoy the remix....

Peace S

The re-up

Yeah doi we're back in your blogasphere......got the hard word from various peeps that i was more than neglecting this page...but make no mistake it's a positive sign when things are that busy.

We could go on forever with the updates of the past few months but i guess the highlight is that we're coming up to that time again of releasing our next & final installment of the nesian collection. This by far has been the hardest project to select tracks for as we've had such a huge body of work to choice from.

In a nutshell we have completed the new video as of today and the track was serviced to radio Tuesday. When ever you drop a new track it's always a excitingly nervous time of what if's, we enjoy the process of making the music but we have our own tastes when it comes to the style and direction of the music......which isn't always reflective of where the audience is at. So that said the next track is our biggest step out of our comfort zone i think we've ever taken, that move was helped with the collboration of our good friend and producer Aigo from Yokohama Japan. This track was the only one produced outside of our camp, evolution of the music for me is what keeps us going and I know you can't appease everyone all the time.

Thanks to all those who supported Sun goes down, it was certified platnium about 3 weeks ago which is no small feat and as we prepare to take this next step with our solo projects these milestones are even more so appreciated.

Well that was a real brief re-up on a few point's i'm be dropping some more real soon.....for real :)

Peace S
