Te Puke Thunder is one of New Zealand’s oldest and most sought after cannabis strains. 

Hailing from the volcanic regions of New Zealand, Te Puke Thunder is prized for its larger buds and higher potency. Gaining popularity in the 70s, the polyploid plant succeeded in becoming a well renowned strain and was notably displayed in a number of Amsterdam coffee shops.

New Zealand authorities believe they have successfully wiped out the majority, if not all, possible trails for the whereabouts of the venerable strain. Some believe there may not be a single seed left with the unmatched genetics of the original Te Puke Thunder strain. 

If any old timers are still growing it, please contact idwtrecordings@gmail.com - we would love to talk.

For now, the hunt for the elusive strain lives on…

Rock The Funky Beats - Natural Born Chillers

Seeking, tumbling, levitating.  
Being found, going unconscious, forgetting.

Hypnagogic footsteps of hypnotic sound weave between each cell. 

A slithering serpent in it’s honeymoon phase.
She picks the flower and becomes herself.

Trippin on your shoelace, full rotation, fool‘s grace.

Blindfolded braincell burners‘ backhanded jokes don‘t go unnoticed.

Don‘t be afraid of what you want.
Double tick the box.  XX

First there was Graded, then ReGraded and now comes Intergraded, the latest imprint set up by Midland. 

To launch the brand new label with a bang, Midland has called up four exciting new artists for a split EP called 'Introduction' and it's one that showcases fresh new talent across four different soundscapes.

Here we premiere Peach's debut track 'Silky' and after she made it into our 30 Under 30,000 list at the start of the year, we're eagerly anticipating what 2018 will bring. If this track is anything to go by, we're in for something special.

Check out what Midland had to say about the new label below.

"The idea for the label came about after being sent unreleased music and ideas by a number of artists over the last year. As I plan to focus Graded on my own Midland solo work for the foreseeable future, and with ReGraded occupying a different aesthetic plane altogether, the logical step was to start a new label that could help introduce this music to a wider audience"

Premiere: Peach 'Silky'

Aus Music label head and DJ-Kicks curator Will Saul launches a new mix compilation series called 'Inside Out' with a distinct concept, each installment will feature 100% new and unreleased music.

Here Mixmag premieres a fresh cut from Youandewan titled 'Insel 2000', a dreamy and melodic break beat tune that showcases a unique side to his musical persona.

Will Saul touched on how the vision behind the new series is to deliver somewhat of an exciting surprise with each release: "I wanted to try and recreate the feeling I used to get in the 90s when you went clubbing and heard your favourite DJ play, but had never heard the vast majority of the tracks he or she was playing. Your mind would be constantly blown by hearing totally new music for the first time. We've pretty much lost this with the proliferation of online mixes, Shazam, early EP premieres and free streams.”

For Will’s inaugural 'Inside Out' mix he tapped a collection of artists he’s worked closely with over the years, including Lone, Pearson Sound, Move D, Gerd, Youandewan, Martyn, Falty DL, Dauwd, Appleblim and Marquis Hawkes.

'Inside Out' is set for release March 30 with nine tracks also being released on 2x12" vinyl.

Someone who steadfastly marches to the beat of his own drum, Pépe molds together a collection of crystalline melodies, gentle pads, and elegant drum programming that are as unique as they are enjoyable to listen to. Having come out with a record on Loose Fit earlier this year, the Valencian producer continues on his creative streak with a new release set to debut on New York's Let's Play House next month.

Simply titled Aerial, Pépe delivers a 4 track EP that is situated perfectly for springtime with its playful-like demeanor that mimics the feeling of nature and the skies coming to life once again. The tune we have for you today is titled " As Long as There's Sunset," and it truly gets to the heart of what this record is all about. From start to finish, Pépe utilizes syncopated rhythms and jovial synth arrangements to express a movement and energy that makes the listener feel as if they are floating on air - taking in the mesmerizing views that await our eyes as our planet begins to blossom around us.

If your mind isn't yet in the spring mood, look no further than this record to get you there. It hits the shelves on March 15th.

PREMIERE: Pépe - As Long as There's Sunset

** 12" Vinyl Available For Pre-Order - https://octoocta.bandcamp.com/album/shes-calling-ep **

For our forth release, T4T LUV NRG present an e.p. of two beautiful songs and one evocation by label co-founder, DJ, and producer Octo Octa (Maya Bouldry-Morrison). “She’s Calling” is the third piece in Octo Octa’s two-year exploration of the connection between music and ritual, closing the loop on themes explored on her “For Lovers” ep (Technicolour, 2019) and full-length album “Resonant Body” (T4T LUV NRG, 2019). 

While many describe dance music in terms of escape, for Octo Octa and many others like her, dance music is about connection. The connections we feel on a dancefloor are transformative, but in time spent alone, dance music remains a powerful tool for connection with nature, with ourselves, and with something ineffable that feels like magic. The title track, “Goddess Calling,” captures a moment of such revelry, a result of the union of sound and ritual.  

Maya wrote the second song, “Find Your Way Home,” in early 2020, a few weeks before she cancelled her tour and headed back to the States because of the pandemic. She originally intended the title as a metaphor, the journey being internal, but the title would prove to be prescient. She made the song in order to take a trip into herself, to bring herself peace during an intense time.

Many religious and mystery traditions employ the use of uttered word formulas as a way to bring something into your life. “Spell for Nature” is Octo Octa asking in her own voice to connect with nature personified in the form of a goddess. The recording is about the moment when she saw something she knew was there all along. When she peaked behind the curtain and found something enveloping and eternal. 

Poem:
There’s a light in the center of the woods
A bright fire seen through the trees
We’re around it gazing into the flames
She’s brought us here
A bell chimes
She’s asking you to come as well
We’ve heard her voice since the beginning
And You’ve been listening your entire life
She’s calling

50% of the profits from the album will be donated to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), which works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence.

Noel Rückwärts and Can‘t Commit - Yin and Yang - water and fire.

DJ Can‘t Commit delivers what it takes to get the blood cooking and the ceiling dripping. While he can’t commit to one genre - because why should one - his commitment to serving fresh and spicy sounds is unequivocal. 

Noel Rückwärts positions himself with a more relaxed, funky and playful sound. Equally unbound to genre as Can’t Commit, his focus is on emotionally rich track selection to be enjoyed on the dance floor and other settings as well.
