BLOG: The Hip Drop
Been looking to add more angles to the Conch blog, so it seemed relevant to do a series of posts on the websites/blogs we like to keep an eye on both locally and internationally. First off is the Hip Drop Blog from Wellington. Check their site below as well as some words from @dopeonplastika
"The Hip Drop is a Wellington based blog (which also includes contributors from Auckland) focused on promoting honest music from all walks of life. The combination of contributors lends itself to an array of musical styling’s, most predominantly hip hop, but do not be surprised to find lashings of new wave, world music or anything else that might be termed "weird". Simply put, it is musical pin up board that hopefully people will love, hate or feel some appreciation for, but if not, it doesn't really matter. It is this type of mentality that will with any luck, help challenge people's notions on what "good" music can and should be."
INSTORE: The Nudge Perform @ Conch Records
PONSONBY PIES DO THE NUDGE
WEDNESDAY 10th AUGUST - 11:00am
Bring out the pie warmer, award winning Ponsonby Pies has come to the table to support The Nudge’s Big Nudge Pie Tour and album release in Auckland. The Wellington band are set to play an in-store at Conch Records on 10th August and live at Golden Dawn on 9th September. After hearing about the band’s crazy love of pies, Ponsonby Pies is bringing along their Gold Medal winning Mince & Cheese Pie for the band and punters to taste for themselves.
Ponsonby Pies Mince & Cheese Pie is produced by Gourmet Foods and won the Gold Award at the recent Bakels Supreme Pie Awards, in the Commercial category.
“We are pleased to have our Gold Medal Award Winning pies associated with The Nudge. Both are based on sound, proven recipes that make people feel great” Roger Rushton, Gourmet Pies Managing Director said.
Describing their sound as many fingers in many pies, The Nudge pie is a concoction of a blues and rock base with a deep swamp filling and raucous party crust, mixed and baked by singer/guitarist Ryan Prebble, keyboardist James Coyle and drummer Iraia Whakamoe.
Fresh from the oven, the Big Nudge Pie album is a humble representation of the bands live experience. Steering clear of typical overdub heavy recordings, Big Nudge Pie is three dudes, one room, lots of mics and ten tracks, recorded at The Surgery, Wellington.
Numerous pies were consumed during the recording. The limited edition album will be available at Conch Records, online from amplifier.co.nz and at the Golden Dawn Show.

UPCOMING: Brenk Sinatra - Gumbo II (MELTING POT MUSIC)
Due for release September 2011, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz
Brenk Sinatra is your favourite producer's favourite producer. The Wien-Kaisermühlen homeboy is a mystical figure. A Westcoast rap fanatic and hardcore producer, Brenk is one of the most complete European beatmakers. You can't pinpoint his sound but you know immediately that it's him when you hear a Brenk production. Westcoast Gangsta-rap and grimey Detroit rap are as present in his music as sweet soul from the 60ties + 70ties – all chopped to the max and iced out with analogue Korg lines. On Sep 2, the Viennese beatsmith returns with „Gumbo II (Pretty Ugly)“, the follow-up to his slept on instrumental masterpiece „Gumbo“ (Supercity, 2008). Added to Chop Shop, his Hi-Hat Club collabo with Fid Mella, this is Brenk Sinatra's third all instrumental LP in three years. Since „Ole Woam“, his first 7“ on MPM, Brenk has established himself as one of the most promising international beatheads. Besides lacing tracks for an armada of Austrian and German MC's (e.g. Kamp, Kayo), the Kaisermühlen representant has worked with the likes of Guilty Simpson, King Tee, DJ Premier or MarvWon and produced all of MC Eiht's upcoming full length album „Which Way Iz West“ (Year Round Records). Most recently Brenk has finished „S3“ (Super Soul Shit), an album with MPM singer Miles Bonny, who features on „Gumbo II“'s „Dedicated“. Gumbo II (Pretty Ugly) marks a new state of the art for sample-based productions. Taking his trademark formula to perfection, Brenk brings together 70's soul with twisted electronica, analogue korg lines, Lil John ad-libs and police sirens, all backed by the most relentless grooves and drum-loops. While every track works for itself, „Gumbo II (Pretty Ugly)“ takes you on a heavy ride through music history: From the embracing brazilian sounds of „Perdido“ to the grimey talkbox craze of „Wolves 2 (Still Hungy)“ and the prog-rock stompin' „Hit U“.
