With the release of their debut album 'Bruises' receiving rave reviews ( one of the years best releases by Mike Alexander Sunday Times) and reaching No. 19 on the NZ Local album charts, and number 11 on the Independent NZ Music Albums, and nominated for best debut album in 2016 for The Taite Music Prize, The Solomon Cole Band gathered a blues rock'n'roll momentum. 

'Bruises' unleashed the band's full arsenal of blues with a melancholy, raw and ethereal sonic power and the infectious trance like stomp of redemption and soul power. Mix that with the formidable kick drum swagger of one of NZ's sexiest drummers, Dione Denize, and this quartet (all the way from the lush bohemian setting of Waiheke Island) are the most dance worthy rock'n'roll band in the country bar none. The ultimate blues crossover, they've opened for Martha Davis & The Motels, My Baby (Europe), The Animals (UK), The Supersuckers (US) and more. 

Their aim initially was to create a set of explosive and exalted indie-trance driven swamp blues that NZ Blog 13th Floor once referred to as "hearkening a cross between QOTSA , The Black Keys and Tina Turner". The band also cited somewhere between artists like Howlin’ Wolf, Son House, Robert Johnson, Screaming Jay Hawkins, erstwhile adding that trance type boogie in a modern take on traditional music. 

These days however, the quartet are intent on creating a more honed and organic, haunting blues-based sound that pivots on the songwriting partnership of vocalist Ely Xir and Solomon Cole. A richer palette that moves the band away from the rock sty-lings of the debut, toward a more varied approach instrument-wise. A deeper sense of roots based songs that capture the essence of traditional meets modern, wrapped up in vocal driven malady and dark tales. The band will exist between NZ shores and European dates from July onwards and look to release “Lucifer’s Rising” and “Pocket of Stones” upon their completion shortly.

The new album called “A Little South Of Heaven” will be the voodoo blues indie trance boogie and ritualistic rock n roll they’ve become noted for but with a twist.

THREE LITTLE WORDS is the first recorded offering from W.I.S.O.

The Waiheke International Soul Orchestra is a 9-piece electronic/soul/drum n bass/funk/r'n'b collective.

Wild Dark is the sonic venture of NYC's Negrin brothers, Corey and Ryan, who have spent over two decades weaving tales on the dancefloor. With a knack for turning electronic music into a narrative experience, they’ve made a name by blending a vast array of sounds into something fresh and memorable.

As of March 2023, the plot thickens: Corey has taken the reins as a solo act, bringing his seasoned chops to stages worldwide. Think of it as Wild Dark 2.0—same name, a brand new adventure.

Before their pivot to production, Wild Dark cut their teeth DJing at the best clubs – from NYC to the far reaches of the globe, a foundation that’s served them well in the studio. Their music has graced the catalogs of top labels like Anjunadeep, Supernature, Flying Circus, Do Not Sit On The Furniture, Truecolors, The Gardens of Babylon, Underyourskin, Akbal, Nazca and numerous others. And yes, the industry heavyweights have noticed—Sasha, Damian Lazarus, Bedouin, Black Coffee, John Digweed, Audiofly, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Township Rebellion, Guy Gerber, Joris Voorn, Los Suruba, and countless others have all given their nods of approval.

Wild Dark also frequently teams up with Ariaan Olieroock under the Ariaano or 16BL moniker, making waves on labels like , Flying Circus and IAMHER Records with releases such as their standout remix of Husa & Zeyada’s “Inside Out”,  and original hit “Always” on Anjunadeep. 

Their productions are engineered for the dancefloor—hypnotic grooves, tight drum programming, the kind of stuff that makes standing still impossible. This formula has powered them through renowned events like Brooklyn Mirage’s Cityfox, Teksupport, Set Underground, Gardens of Babylon Festival, Do Not Sit on the Furniture, Art With Me Festival, and the stunning SXM Festival in St. Martin alongside the fest’s founder, dear friend and collaborator, Julian Prince.

From commanding the decks at Burning Man’s legendary Robot Heart bus to bringing their hypnotic magic to Brooklyn’s infamous City of Gods bacchanal, Wild Dark has proven they’re more than just a duo—they’re a movement. With Corey now driving solo, the story continues, and it’s only getting more interesting – but it doesn’t stop there. Wild Dark’s 2024/2025 release scheudle is looking heavy, with each new project continuing to push boundaries, further cementing Wild Dark's place in the electronic music landscape, inspiring both fans and fellow artists alike.

Lincoln Jackson
Lincoln’s unassuming collection of songs recorded in a variety of settings, and his use of whatever is at hand to grab sketches of verbal playfulness, is a great tale of resourcefulness from an interesting lo-fi artist.
