Peanut Butter Wolf transforms dance-floors around the world. Holding a reputation as one of hip hop’s best DJ’s and crate-diggers, Wolf is a true visionary in his own right. Arcade, MAZDEF and Robin Fernando are hyped to announce he’ll be heading to New Zealand for two eclectic AV/DJ shows this July off the back of the acclaimed Stones Throw documentary 'Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton.'
Few records labels have the untouchable status enjoyed by West Coast institution Stones Throw, renowned for bringing the likes of Madlib, J Dilla, Aloe Blacc and Madvillian to the world. Peanut Butter Wolf is the genius behind the operation.
Wolf began his musical journey as producer for rap martyr Charizma, creating links in the Detroit, New York and LA rap communities that would catalyse his transformation into a game changing label boss. Over two decades Wolf has cemented his place in the hip hop pantheon while maintaining a grass roots dedication to the indie community and grass roots acts. Having toured with legends such as Snoop Dogg, A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Odd Future and the Beastie Boys befit his status as a key link between hip hop’s past and its future.
Wolf’s live show is a unique blend of audio and visual elements, creating his own take on the grand narrative of modern music and culture; whether it be Frank Zappa, Mr T or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wolf crafts a seamless mix of genre that crosses a broad spectrum of tastes.
Lock in 26 and 27 July to catch Peanut Butter Wolf live in Auckland and Wellington.
Tickets will be on sale via Dash Tickets.
