SURPRISE! WE’RE HAVING A XMAS PARTY!
And we’ve invited some very special guests...
We’re taking over the mighty Hollywood Avondale on Friday 18 December!
For the first time in TEN YEARS, the one and only RECLOOSE returns to NZ, direct from Philly! The Detroit-born, Hit It & Quit It OG and all-round musical wizard is back, joining forces with the legendary JOE DUKIE of Fat Freddy’s Drop for a very special LIVE PA!
As if that wasn’t enough, LORD ECHO joins us for a rare DJ set, premiering brand new material from his forthcoming album!
Rounding out the main room are Music First’s own FRANK BOOKER and SAMUEL HARMONY, while out in the courtyard we’ve got ROSE ALICE, LOVE LANGUAGE, LEON D and LOGGCABIN holding it down.
A big old celebration of music, friends and community to celebrate the Xmas season!

Since the 1980s, Gilles Peterson has been a pivotal figure in the club scene, renowned for his genre-defying approach to music with jazz at its core. As one of the UK’s most iconic DJs, he has spent over 40 years shaping music trends as a radio presenter, club DJ, producer, and festival curator. His work has influenced DJs and artists around the world and earned him the enduring admiration of listeners. Join us for a party years in the making 😉.
With special thanks to our friends at Monkey Shoulder.

@frankbooker is off to @hopkins.creek tonight but will be back in town for an @angelmusicbar show tomorrow night before heading back to Aotearoa.
He left us with his newest release from 2024 “Collected works” which has been freshly repressed
On ““Collected Works”, Booker has gathered up four of his favourite previously released (but out of print) tunes from the last decade and a half and remastered them. In the process, “Collected Works” provides a compelling window into his enduring love of soulful sounds from across the globe.
Opening with ‘The Sun’ from 2012’s “Beat Down & Out” EP on Sleazy Beats Black Ops, Booker kicks things off with an absolutely massive drum machine groove, filtered bass and audience recordings from a party, letting the music build into a hypnotic euphoria that’s easy to be swept away in. From there, he moves into house tempo afrobeat territory with a bubbling edit of ‘Egbi Mi O’ by Fela Kuti from the 2013 “EDITS” EP on KAT before time travelling back two years earlier with ‘El Salvador [Vocal Mix]’.
On ‘El Salvador’ [Vocal Mix], originally included on the El Salvador EP for Japan’s @wonderfulnoise , Booker taps into a slow, smouldering cosmic disco vibe those late late nights in the club before closing out with the chunky percussive rhythms of one of the first tracks he released in 2009, ‘Universal Drive’. Still sturdy and fit for purpose, these dancefloor weapons still get the job done
$35 says you can take one home.

Kia ora!
Music First Bandcamp goes live tonight with two releases we’re hugely proud of, marking the beginning of plenty more to come from Music First as a label: At 8pm* NZ time, as Bandcamp Friday kicks off, we’ll be opening the doors to our own little corner of Bandcamp.
First up, copies of Joe Kaptein’s Live at The Upside Down Lounge Vol.1 will be available on vinyl for $59 NZD plus P&P.
Recorded live at Goblin, Tāmaki Makaurau, the album captures Joe and friends doing what they do best at Joe’s Upside Down Lounge residency. A collaboration between Music First and Joe’s Jandal Records, pressed locally by Holiday Records as part of their Drops series.
Alongside it, we’re very excited to release a brand new digital-only remix of Intergalactic Love Song, featuring Nathan Haines — reworked by the one & only Byron the Aquarius.
Massive thanks also to our fantastic designer, Jovan Milovic for all release artwork design as well as Bandcamp layout.
EDIT* (thanks to daylight savings): Live from 8pm NZ time tonight via the Music First Bandcamp.
Happy Bandcamp Friday - keep the Music First! X

We've been woven together for years now, wouldn't be an album release without the family together. No family, no party

Interlude, Twominds & Music First are delighted to present the return of a Detroit legend this November.
Very few, if any, come as sharp behind the decks as Marcellus Pittman. A bonafide global heavyweight, the Motor City maverick takes no prisoners when it comes to vitalizing the dance floor. We’re delighted to welcome him back to Aotearoa for the first time in nearly three years. Fans of dance music in New Zealand are lucky enough to have witnessed Pittman headlining Beacon Festival and Nest Fest; his reputation for party rocking is unmatched. We can’t wait to welcome him to the concrete clubland of Sydenham, alongside NZ’s own disco don, Frank Booker, who’ll be making a rare Ōtautahi appearance as well.
This will be one hell of a party; lock in your ticket to make sure you’ll be there. Tickets in the bio.

Here at Music First we’ve had the chance to bring out some lumanaries for their first shows here in Aotearoa , and it’s been a treat to do so, and now we are delighted to present the return of a Detroit legend this November. Very few, if any, come as sharp behind the decks as bonafide global heavyweight, @marcelluspittman.
