We On It Now feat. Raiza Biza & Iva Lamkum

Melbourne-based Kiwi musician/producer Oakley Grenell celebrates 22 years of his independent record label with the new single 'Drop On Em' featuring Max Shotta, out Friday, 5th July 2024.
Grenell teams up with longtime collaborator Max Shotta from the dancehall/reggae group 'The Shottaz' to deliver a hard-hitting, bass-infused sound system smasher 'Drop On Em'.
Max's lyrics boast both confidence and braggadociousness while gliding effortlessly over the confronting production and almost 'metal'-sounding synth riff of the main drop. Battling opponents and dropping lyrical bombs on any naysayers, this is the first single off the new OG LP scheduled for release in October 2024, with singles being released each month until then, showcasing the harder dance floor-oriented production skills of Grenell. It harkens back to the 20-year anniversary of his B-net Award-nominated debut LP 'Uncharted', digitally re-released earlier this year.
Max and Oakley can be seen and heard on their weekly hour of Visual Radio streaming live on Twitch as part of the Friday Night LETOFF, 5-6pm PST. Friday Night LETOFF
New single ‘Madness’ feat. YT on Central Records out August 2024

Drop On Em feat Max Shotta

DROP ON EM feat. Max Shotta

“One of my favourite productions to date and an amazing addition to the Central Records Catalogue”.
Melbourne-based Kiwi musician and producer Oakley Grenell is celebrating 22 years of his independent record label with the new single “Madness”, featuring YT and subsequent Remix by Lotek. This 2-pack will be available on Friday, August 9th, 2024.
Grenell teams up with Reggae Dancehall vocalist YT to deliver a hard-hitting, bass-infused, future dancehall track. YT’s double-time lyrics exude masterful confidence and “inna de dance” etiquette, delivering streetwise knowledge over a souped-up, percussive production beat with a bold, in-your- face bassline. “Madness” is the second single from Grenell's upcoming LP, scheduled for release in November 2024. The track showcases Grenell's prowess in harder, dance floor-oriented production, reminiscent of the sound that marked the 20th anniversary of his debut LP, Uncharted, which was digitally re-released earlier this year and nominated for a B-net award.
Lotek has contributed a Soundsystem half-time remix for this special 2-pack release, emphasising dub and live horn instrumentation for listeners seeking a more relaxed vibe.

MADNESS feat. YT

“This one has some bounce and features one of my dirtiest bass lines ever from the Central Records Catalogue,” says Melbourne-based Kiwi musician and producer Oakley Grenell.
He celebrates 22 years of his independent record label with his new single, ‘Aether,’ which marks his first foray into the new shuffle-based Dubstep sound sweeping the world. The track will be released on Friday, September 20th, 2024.
Grenell chose to keep this track minimalistic by manipulating a melodic vocal sample and mixing it with a catchy, gritty bass line. ‘Aether’ showcases Grenell's skill in producing harder, dance floor-oriented tracks, reminiscent of the sound that marked the 20th anniversary of his debut LP, Uncharted, which was digitally re-released earlier this year and nominated for a B-Net Award.
Oakley can be seen and heard weekly during his hour of Visual Radio, streaming live on Twitch with collaborator Max Shotta as part of Friday Night LETOFF from 5-6 pm PST.

AETHER

Grenell returns with a writing and vocal collaboration that has spanned over 22 years, featured on the new single "How You Like That" from his upcoming album, Charted LP, set for release on November 22, 2024. Christchurch-based jazz vocalist Jennine Bailey, who appeared on both Grenell’s debut Jaded EP (2002) and the follow-up Uncharted LP (2004), has rekindled their musical partnership with the sultry, trip-hop-infused track "How You Like That."

The duo performed weekly as a vocal and jazz guitar team for many years, honing their performance and improvisational skills over countless walking (guitar) bass lines, which is evident in the way Grenell melds the elements around Bailey’s lush vocals. Large, flowing sub-bass lines are accented by dreamy guitar delays and playful lyrics from Bailey, reminiscent of the Bristol sound of the '90s.
This collaboration paves the way for some double-time liquid drum and bass remixes—keep your eyes peeled in early 2025 for these!

Commotion (Remix) ft. Shottaz & D.Matthews

Following last year’s 11-track ECHOES LP and his recent remix release Commotion ft. Shottaz & D.
Matthews, Grenell returns with long-time collaborator King Ru.
The pair reunite on the first single from their upcoming joint album Riddim n Rhyme (out early 2026).
SPLASH rides a heavy, synth-driven, Dilla-esque beat soaked in swagger, as King Ru delivers a sharp
warning about the rise of the new A.I. world — calling on listeners to uplift and sustain themselves and
each other through:
S.P.L.A.S.H – Spiritual, People, Leaders, And, Super, Heroes
W.A.T.A – Wisdom, Attitude, Truth, Awareness
A powerful statement track from two artists who continue to push boundaries.

Departure Lounge Live Sampler

Guitarist, producer and record label owner Oakley Grenell has emerged from his Melbourne studio set to showcase his 12th release in 16 years. The man behind projects such as reggae band Otautahi Allstars and Rolling Stone's 4 out of 5 star rated album 'Moving On', has surfaced with his new single 'Frienemy', featuring Auckland dancehall queen Silva MC.

The new single is a synth driven ragga dancehall track layered with Silva MC's zeitgeist lyrics in her unique singjay style. With Johnny Hooves mixing and Hospital Records Dan Gresham (aka Nu-Tone) on mastering duties, 'Frienemy' is a signal of intent by the Central Records owner – an opening salvo in an ambitious plan to release five EPs in 15 months.
