https://ffm.to/blessing-remix

Acclaimed drum & bass duo @Talimusic & Chiccoreli (@liquidlowdown) deliver a fresh remix of ‘Blessing’. The new version maintains the festival-ready vocals from Sianne, while taking the drum & bass sound down the liquid route.

Lush strings and warm piano chords set the mood from the outset, with Sianne’s vocals front and center. As the track builds, it drops into a heavy-hitting blend of punchy drums and gritty bass - retaining its dancefloor energy while adding emotional depth.

As two of Aotearoa’s leading drum & bass artists, MC Tali & DJ Chiccoreli bring years of experience to this release. Their chemistry as both performers and producers has seen them grace stages at major festivals around the globe. While both have a strong catalogue of solo releases, ‘Blessing’ marks their first studio collaboration, with more music on the horizon that continues to explore their rich, signature sound.

 ‘As I Lay Me Down (When the Sun Comes Out Again)’ - a sun-soaked reggae reimagining of Sophie B. Hawkins’ 1995 classic. The track is the latest single from Classic Hits In A Reggae Groove, a bold project pairing iconic vocalists with Jamaica’s finest musicians to breathe new life into legendary songs with an authentic reggae feel.

Hawkins re-recorded her vocals for the track, delivering a modern yet performance that perfectly complements the laid-back groove, skanking guitars, and soaring horns of the all-star reggae band. “I love this version of ‘As I Lay Me Down’ — it fits my mood, my joy of being alive on our planet at this time,” says Hawkins. “What the band do with my music makes me smile, and I’m so happy to share it with you.”

Recorded in Jamaica with full artist involvement, the album features reggae royalty — musicians who’ve performed with the likes of Ziggy Marley, Peter Tosh, and Wyclef Jean. Classic Hits In A Reggae Groove delivers timeless classics with a warm, rootsy twist that feels both fresh and deeply grounded in tradition.

Classic Hits In A Reggae Groove presents the latest release from their upcoming album, a new imagining of Tanita Tikaram’s iconic track ‘Twist In My Sobriety’. Kingston Sound System have taken a re-recorded vocal from Tikaram and created a soulful reggae version of the classic.

A collection of Jamaica’s finest musicians, Kingston Sound System have taken the synth-driven original, and given it a new sun-soaked interpretation. The synths are replaced by horns and keys combining, with Tikaram’s breathy vocals perfectly complimenting the laid-back reggae instrumentation. A modern brooding vocal take from Tikaram lends new life to the recording, working hand in hand with a slower reggae tempo to the original.

"Kingston Sound System have fun bringing their reggae vibes to classic tracks by artists including Blondie, and The B-52’s. Now they’ve got their hands on ‘Twist’, I can’t wait for people to check it out!” - Tanita Tikaram

The debut single from Sunset Tsunami

Dub Till Dawn

https://ffm.to/st-skeletons

Sunset Tsunami continue their initial wave of releases with a fresh flip of Corrella ‘Skeletons’ - an upbeat dub/breaks rework that nods to Salmonella Dub, Theivery Corpooration and Dreadzone, while pushing into their own widescreen, bass-forward world.

Where the original leans into a laid-back dub/reggae sway, the remix shifts gears into an energetic, double-time funk groove. Corrella’s hallmark horn lines and vocal hooks remain front-and-centre, now wrapped in tape-echo trails, spring-reverb haze, and live-sounding drum energy. It’s electronic at the core, but it moves with the feel of a band.

Sanoi unveils his latest single, ‘It Might Take Some Time’, taken from the forthcoming album Augenblick. Built around a playful synth motif, the track is textural, melodic, unhurried.
Unfolding patiently, it layers delicate melodies over a gentle percussive groove before introducing a warm, grounding bassline as momentum builds. Reminiscent of early Bonobo and Four Tet, this is late-night headphone music that also carries weight on a proper system.
With ‘It Might Take Some Time’, Sanoi continues to refine his melodic sensibility, drawing on his house and techno roots while embracing a more reflective, downtempo palette. The result is both meditative and kinetic, adding another distinctive chapter to his genre-blurring catalogue.

New Zealand producer @HarryCharles follows up his sophomore album MOVEMENT with the new track 'The Luck', which marks a shift towards a more energetic and uplifting direction.

‘The Luck’ blends hook-laden melodies and bright synth layers with a driving deep house groove. It’s a clear evolution from the downtempo, organic moods of MOVEMENT, and signals a bold new chapter for Harry’s sound.

https://ffm.to/sanoi-try-it

Blending deep, chugging Afro house rhythms with the grit of old-school soul, ‘Try It’ layers hypnotic percussion and a rolling low-end beneath pitched-up, boom-bap-inspired vocal samples. The result is a striking balance of crate-digging nostalgia and modern dancefloor energy, music designed to move bodies while sparking recognition in heads who know.

Due for release in late 2025, Augenblick is a 19-track journey through ambient textures and lo-fi beats.

Wellington-based producer Zuke returns with a new rework from his acclaimed debut album Come Closer (Dec 2024), a fresh take on the album’s downtempo gem ‘How We Met’, remixed alongside long-time collaborator Dylan C.

Where the original drifted with haunting Rhodes chords and a deep, meditative atmosphere, the Dylan C & Zuke Remix drives the track towards the dancefloor. Lifting the tempo, the duo reshape it into a hypnotic organic house groover, with inspired elements of acid house & dub echoes.

This marks the first official release for Dylan C & Zuke , a pairing well-known for their hybrid live/DJ performances across New Zealand festivals and club shows over the past six years. The remix captures the essence of those sets: deep, melodic, and immersive, yet always underpinned by energy and movement.

Taken from Nathan Haines’ album Notes (Deluxe Edition), which features a collection of remixes, edits & live recordings alongside the tracks that originally appeared on the 2024 album Notes.

Brooklyn-based producer/DJ/label owner JKriv delivers a tasty house remix of 'Love You More'. After contributing bass to the original album Notes, JKriv here brings his trademark underground sound to Haines’ jazz-house stylings. Expanding on the tropical vibe of the original, JKriv’s version keeps the saxophone front and centre, while bringing deeper bass and synths across his remix.

https://ffm.to/whenyouready

Sanoi announces the release of his long-awaited new album Augenblick, preceded by the final single ‘When You Ready’. Out early December, the album captures a 19-track exploration in Sanoi’s own house-inspired take of downtempo, ambient and lo-fi beats.

‘When You Are Ready’ blends emotional depth with cinematic tension, with a soft, ethereal female vocal which drifts through spacious ambient textures. Anchored by dark, pulsing electronic drums, the track unfolds as synths rise toward a haunting climax - a moment suspended between melancholy and release.

When You Ready

ffm.to/zero-zero

Harry Charles continues his streak of releases for 2025 with the new singles, ‘Zero Zero’, embracing a deep house vibe and a continued shift towards a more energetic and uplifting mood.

‘Zero Zero’ is the second release of a batch of songs created specifically for live performances. Incorporating an almost chant-like vocal refrain, the track aims for both sunrise and sunset moments, with a vibe that is perfect for both the beginning and the end of a night.

https://ffm.to/castaway-remix

NZ/UK electronic duo Sunset Tsunami share their official remix of The Elovaters’ fan favourite ‘Castaway’. Teaming up with Sydney producer MO2, they reframe the original’s reflective island energy into a fusion of reggae-steppers, sub-bass, and drum & bass percussion, taking the track into new club-focused territory.

Jackson Wetherbee’s emotive vocal performance is set against rolling low-end, syncopated skank rhythms, and spacious dub effects, bridging the laid-back character of The Elovaters’ Boston-rooted reggae with Sunset Tsunami’s Aotearoa and UK bass-culture influences.
