2015 was a highly successful year for Groeni, with the release of two EP’s; Hewn (Project Mooncircle) and Hinde (Independent) the Wellington-based live electronica band enjoyed critical praise globally from BBC6, KCRW, Indie Shuffle, EDM.com, Sunday Star Times, and many other media outlets.
Groeni are showing no signs of slowing down in 2016. They are excited to unveil a very limited edition vinyl pressing of their most recent EP Hinde. Released in collaboration with Coffee Supreme, it’s a beautifully packaged and mastered document of some of their best music to date. Also, as proud recipients of a one off video grant collaboration between Red Bull Sound Select and NZ On Air, Groeni are also happy to announce the release of their second music video Hinde.
Groeni will be joined by Melbourne based Fortunes
Fortunes are a soul/hip-hop/electronic duo building momentum in Melbourne’s music scene. A collaboration between producer Barnaby Matthews and vocalist Conor McCabe - both originally from NZ - Fortunes meld layered soundscapes on thick, glitchy bass-lines. Their sound flows with innate groove, and is brought to life by flawless and intimate vocal delivery. Both danceable and moving, Fortunes are an unmissable act.
No-one blends the gritty groove of hip-hop with the raw emotion of R&B like Melbourne’s Fortunes. The duo bring intimacy to electronic music and fresh energy to classic soul.
Wellington's own Martyn Pepperell is also on hand to keep the proceedings and bodies moving.
