‘I GET THAT’ - Owly

Owly returns with a bundle of dynamic, post-midnight tracks that blaze through the idea of eclectic production. The through-line of vocal sampling paired with hypnotic and industrial soundscapes transport the listener to a place of pure pulse. In a pool of ‘VOLUME ONE’s deep and driving tracks, ‘I GET THAT’ has to be our favourite.

‘Just For Once Now’ - nicholas Franchise

After having the pleasure of listening to this song for the first at 2am by a campfire in my airpods, we can verify the beauty of this song off of nicholas Franchise’s second album, Return on Investment. Just For Once Now is unapologetically real and raw with a tense and wiry guitar melody that when combined with the melancholic lyrics & raw, choked vocals create a song that feels greater than the sum of its parts.

‘Carousel’ - Lontalius

Released as a taster of Lontalius’s latest album “Somebody Will Be There For You”, ‘Carousel’ is an intimate track that perfectly encapsulates the ‘butterflies-in-stomach’ feeling of meeting someone new. His vocals blend seamlessly with the delicate and vulnerable guitar and piano, transporting listeners to the first time they fell in love.

‘Shinbone’ - Oh Sweet Nothings

Oh Sweet Nothings’ first release since their 2019 EP, ‘Shinbone’ begins with a crunchy, delay-heavy intro, which simmers into a blur of hazy vocals and distorted, whimsical guitar. The accompanying music video is dedicated to Wellington, showing off the epic landscapes and skylines of this windswept, beautiful little city.

‘Granted’ - The Manic Fare

Carl Brunenberg and Lars Von Espy team up to form The Manic Fare, a supremely talented duo. Via their traditional progressive pop/rock sound, their new song "Granted" emits a sweet aroma. The chorus bursts with colossal guitar and harmonious vocals, warning you not to take anything for granted!

‘Thirty Five’ - Mieke

Born and raised in Wellington, artist Mieke is back with her gentle, innocent song ‘Thirty Five’. This ambient ballad embodies the dreamy feeling of falling in love, Bella and Edward style. “I want people to have that feeling of pining innocence for someone.” Mieke says, “like you’re on the train in the morning twiddling your thumbs thinking of the person you’re in love with.” While Mieke usually writes alternative indie music, her next project is inspired by 90s riot grrrl music! You definitely don’t wanna miss it!

‘Rollyz Quit His Job’ - DARTZ

This month, Pōneke faves DARTZ released their long awaited EP ‘Quit Before It’s Too Late’! The EP kicks off with the gritty ‘ROLLYZ QUIT HIS JOB’, a high energy track about their drummer, Rollyz, walking out on his job and never looking back! This is the perfect anthem to shout along to if you've ever had to deal with a shitty boss (which you certainly have).

‘Deathtrippa and the infinite tired’ - DEATHTRIPPA ft. VOIDDWELLER

DEATHTRIPPA, a long-time favourite of Something Something Club, has released his cyber grind EP, ‘pain olympics.' Our top pick from the EP ‘Deathtrippa and the infinite tired ft. VOIDDWELLER’, an unhinged combination of emo trap and metallic hardcore that blends the bass and groove of modern electronic music with an ear-splitting dissonance reminiscent of only the most violent hardcore bands. Think Knocked Loose meets $uicideboy$.
