2025: A Half-Year Recap

Looking back on the previous six months in my world.

Selected Works is a weekly (usually) newsletter by the Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa (Wellington, New Zealand) based freelance music journalist, broadcaster, copywriter and sometimes DJ Martyn Pepperell, aka Yours Truly. Most weeks, Selected Works consists of a recap of what I’ve been doing lately and some of what I’ve been listening to and reading, paired with film photographs I’ve taken + some bonuses. All of that said, sometimes, it takes completely different forms.

It’s half-year recap time. I think this is everything? Zonk.

Q&A:

The Bluegrass Situation: With 'Gumshoe,' Samantha Crain Examines the Mysteries of Interpersonal Relationships

Growing up in Oklahoma, Choctaw singer-songwriter Samantha Crain found solace and calm in mid-20th-century film noir, Westerns, and Broderbund Software, Inc.’s cult Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? media franchise. Along the way, she developed a soft spot for the vernacular term for a private detective, “gumshoe.”

Two decades later, she realised it was the perfect title for her seventh solo album. My interview with Samantha is live on the US country/folk website The Bluegrass Situation now. You can read it here.

The Bluegrass Situation: Marlon Williams' New Māori Language Album, 'Te Whare Tīwekaweka,' Is All About Home

When he was in his early twenties, Marlon Williams watched a series of major earthquakes flatten Ōtautahi/Christchurch, the largest city in Te Waipounamu (the South Island of New Zealand). In the wake of that tragedy, the Māori New Zealand artist ascended onto the national and later international stage as a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and actor with a million-dollar smile and a golden, heaven-sent voice.

Mixmag: The return of Signer: Aotearoa's silent dub techno legend

Twenty-plus years on, the Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington-based composer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer revisits his golden dub techno moment with Martyn Pepperell.

Audio Culture: Christoph El Truento goes dub

Christopher Martin James, better known as Christoph El Truento, was introduced to Jamaican dub music as a child during the final years of the 20th century. Thinking back to his upbringing, he remembers finding a copy of Augustus Pablo and King Tubby’s King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown album in one of his older brothers’ record collections. At the time, Truento spent evenings flipping through the radio dial to see what he could find on the airwaves in 1990s Auckland. In comparison, the slinky sounds he heard on that record – equal parts spaced-out and low-slung – were an early revelation.

Audio Culture: Aaradhna

Aaradhna Jayantilal Patel burst onto the Australasian music scene in 2004 when her vocals featured alongside the R&B sibling duo Adeaze on their platinum hit single, ‘Getting Stronger’. In the years since, Aaradhna has repeatedly proved her mettle in the studio and on stage, affirming her status as one of New Zealand’s most beloved modern R&B and soul artists.

Audio Culture: Frank Booker

For over two and a half decades, Chris Cox, aka Frank Booker, has kept dancefloors moving across New Zealand and Australia and even as far afield as New York, London and Japan.

Mixmag: Traxman is the essence of Chicago dance music

Traxman started to make music with the simple aim of making people dance and have a good time. That hasn’t changed, but since he started out in the '80s, Corky Strong’s masterful productions and DJ sets have marked him out as a house music great. He has been at the forefront of three different generations of dance music in Chicago, pushing the sounds of ghetto house, juke and footwork in the city and to the world. Martyn Pepperell tells his story.

Rolling Stone AU/NZ: ‘It’s Not Enough’: Four Albums Into Her Career, Nadia Reid Is Far From Done

The folk singer-songwriter tells Rolling Stone AU/NZ about her transformative new album, being influenced by Janet Frame, and more.

Audio Culture: Toni Huata Remembered – Oho Mai Koe

On 10 February 2025, news broke about the passing of Māori singer-songwriter, performer, director, and producer Toni Huata. During her lifetime, she released seven albums that effortlessly connected her deep commitment to te ao Māori and te reo Māori with her love and passion for jazz, soul, R&B, opera and an equally diverse array of styles of modern electronic music: downbeat, jazzy jungle/drum and bass, trance, house and beyond. Through and through, she was a lover of music and culture who served as a living bridge between worlds.

Over on Audio Culture, we paid tribute to Toni by publishing a series of memories of her from twelve of her friends and collaborators. You can read the story here.

Mixmag AUS/NZ: Looking back at the sounds of ‘90s and early 2000s house, 2-step/garage and broken beat in Aotearoa

In 1988, a coalition of busy music industry figures based in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland came together at the producer Alan Jansson’s Module 8 Studios. Over several evenings, they recorded what was arguably Aotearoa/New Zealand’s first house track. A self-titled, one-off studio project, ‘Jam This Record’ was marketed and released as an obscure white label. Spare and stripped down but oddly sample-heavy, the track’s unmistakably late-‘80s machine beat sound captivated discerning club DJs around the country and further abroad in the Northern Hemisphere, where it spent an unexpected but thrilling two weeks in the UK club chart. Read the full feature here.

Audio Culture: Ten 90s and 2000s downbeat classics and deeper cuts

In the early 90s, alternative music lovers across New Zealand embraced the UK, European and American sounds of trip-hop, downbeat and instrumental hip-hop, à la Nightmares on Wax, Massive Attack, Portishead, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation, etc. In their slower grooves, sample-based sound palettes and nocturnal vocal stylings, several waves of ravers, clubbers and DJS found an ideal counterpoint to the uptempo house, techno and jungle/drum & bass sounds of the dancefloor. Read more here.

Rolling Stone AU/NZ: Womb

“In a day-to-day sense, feelings can be quite elusive to me,” says Cello Forrester. “I think it’s such a blessing to have art as a means to explore what a feeling is trying to say before using words and sound to put those feelings in context while reflecting your internal world into the external.” A singer-songwriter, guitarist and string player, Forrester is the frontperson of Womb, the Tāmaki Makaurau and Whakatū-based dream-pop band they share with their siblings-cum-musical collaborators, Haz Forrester (synth, guitar) and Georgette Brown (drums).

Mixmag AUS/NZ: Exploring the sounds of ‘90s and early 2000s techno in Aotearoa

Growing up in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington—the capital city of Aotearoa/New Zealand—my first exposure to techno came in the late ‘90s through a network of record shops, cafes, clothing stores, and all-ages warehouse parties. On inner-city dance floors, the upfront sounds of Detroit and Berlin often shared space with Chicago house, UK jungle/drum and bass, trance, and other adjacent dance music genres. Thinking back, I recall overhearing conversations in 24-hour cafes about UFOs and hacking, reading William Gibson’s seminal cyberpunk novel ‘Neuromancer’, and attending early virtual reality demonstrations. I also remember listening to specialist electronica shows on the local student radio station, Radio Active FM, hearing stories about a short-lived electronic venue called Biosphere that served smart drinks instead of alcohol, and hanging out at a self-styled oxygen cafe. This was the milieu within which techno was bubbling up here.

LINER NOTES:

Susumu Yokota, Sakura (Skintone/Lo Recordings)

It’s easy to imagine the late great electronic composer Susumu Yokota wandering through Tokyo’s Nakameguro district during sakura season. After all, in the late nineties, Yokota-san lived nearby in Aobadai, Northern Meguro. Perhaps he used to sit by the Meguro River and take part in Hanami, the traditional Japanese custom of drinking under blooming cherry blossoms while enjoying the beauty of the pink, cloudlike flowers before they fall. When you’ve spoken with his friends and colleagues and heard vivid tales of him finding inspiration in life’s small details while walking the streets of Nakameguro and Aobadai, this act feels in keeping with Yokota-san’s character.

As part of Lo Recordings’ new archival project to secure the legacy of the late great Japanese composer, producer, DJ and visual artist Susumu Yokota, I wrote the liner notes for their forthcoming reissue of one of Yokota’s multiple masterworks, Sakura. In August, they’ll be releasing it as part of the sprawling Skintone boxset series I outlined in my newsletter last week. Expect a standalone reissue soon as well.

Mokomokai, Self-Titled

The Aotearoa rap trio Mokomokai, or as I like to call them, The Boyz From The Winterless North, recently released a Merlot Red vinyl pressing of their self-titled debut album via Holiday Records. As part of this project, I interviewed Dusty, Ghos and Manu for the LP liner notes. Here’s an excerpt.

On the 1st of January 2022, Manu, Dusty & Ghos, the Māori hip-hop group collectively known as MOKOMOKAI, released their self-titled debut album. By intermingling taonga pūoro with natural soundscapes, low-slung boom-bap drum loops, cinematic jazz and soul samples, and playfully braggadocious raps, they recontextualised the grimy, neo-noir sound of 2010s New York State hip-hop through a distinctive Māori lens. This is the story of how they came together to record this cult classic, as told to Martyn Pepperell over three separate interviews in October 2024.

Windsong, Self-Titled

A rose-tinted intermingling of smooth jazz fusion and R&B that wouldn’t sound out of place in a classic Hollywood film, this self-titled LP is the first and only album from the forgotten Los Angeles quartet, WindSong. Originally released as a private press in 1982 through the band’s own WindSong Productions imprint, the album represents the culmination of bandleader Jordu Sherrill’s collaboration with two songwriters, Carol Becker and Lola Page.

Ayane Shino, River: The Timbre of Guitar #2

A collection of ten hypnotic guitar renditions that dive deeply into the traditional compositional musicality that underpins Harakami’s hallucinatory beatscapes before reconsidering them under a fresh, innovative and engaging new light. River: The Timbre of Guitar #2 Rei Harakami signals a new level of awareness and understanding of both Rei Harakami’s significance and Ayane Shino’s undeniable talent.

SALES NOTES:

Jess Ribeiro’s Mix Tape is a collection of abandoned pathways, parallel timelines, maybes and what-ifs recorded with Michael Vince Moin (Tram Cops), Jesse Williams, John Castle, James Seymour and Jeremy Toy. Over eight demos and B-sides previously left on the cutting floor, she sings in her signature cinematic style. Evoking teenage memories, smoking cigarettes in the woods after dusk, late-night sorrow, and the moment someone you’ve spent a lifetime waiting for arrives, these songs represent the end of one chapter and the promise of something new. Set against breezy guitars, rollicking drums and nostalgic synthesisers, her economical prose conjures up entire worlds within a few words, saying the most while saying the least.

Ladi6, Lightbulb

Karoline Park-Tamati and Brent Park-Tamati, the New Zealand husband and wife duo who perform as Ladi6, have just released a new single titled ‘Lightbulb’. Pre-release, their manager Audrey, asked me if I could write an early review of the track. You can read it below.

"Untethered from the mid-tempo drums that have underscored much of her catalogue, Ladi6 sings with a graceful melancholy over a rich bed of bubbling lead synths, woozy pads, triumphant stabs, and a g-funk indebted whistle. Sitting between the ‘60s/’70s modular synthesiser experimentation of Wendy Carlos and Mort Garson and the modern ambient/electronic R&B sound of Kelela, FKA Twigs, Solange and their peers, ‘Lightbulb’ feels like a needed moment of pause, a stylistic reset, and a glorious portent of things yet to come." - Martyn Pepperell

Iris Little, 2

The second act in a story told in five parts, ‘2’, is a vivid intermingling of delicate acoustic fingerwork, airy atmospherics, and clockwork rhythms. Over its first movement, the song gently unfolds into a triumphant paean to what Little describes as “The original separation—the beginning of the other” before exploding into a flurry of hefty industrial electronics that fade gently into the good night.

Shaped in an almost telepathic collaboration with the Otautahi-based producer, musician and songwriter Chris Wethey (AJA, Deva Mahal, Byllie-Jean), ‘2’ was inspired by Portishead, Björk, FKA Twigs, Jenny Hval, and the 19th-century American poet Emily Dickinson’s masterpiece of prose, ‘Two—were immortal twice.’ Alongside vocals, piano, guitar and synth from Little, ‘2’ also features chopped-up drum loops originally played by Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa and distorted guitars from Michael Howell.

Louisa Williamson, Groundwork

Three years after the release of her APRA best jazz composition award-winning debut album, What Dreams May Come, Wellington, New Zealand-based composer, woodwind player, and session musician Louisa Williamson returns with her sophomore release, Groundwork.

Closer to a prelude than a second album, Groundwork collects seven pieces Williamson wrote and composed between 2016 and 2024 while she was finding her place within New Zealand’s contemporary jazz, soul, funk, and popular music communities.

Kenny Sterling, Love’s Mirage / Isle of Light

After shaping the sound of Mānuka Recordings through his production work for Summer Vee, Eo, Romi Wrights, Julian Lubin, and The Hongi Slicker, our co-founder and in-house producer Kenny Sterling steps into our release schedule with a dreamy instrumental jazz-funk two-tracker, ‘Love’s Mirage’ / ‘Isle Of Light.’

Now Always Fades, Into The Doldrums

Recorded in the wake of returning to Australia with his family after spending seven years in Copenhagen and Stockholm, Into The Doldrums sees Bacash building on the beautifully melancholic downtempo, deep house, and synth-pop sensibilities he’s explored as Sonny Ism. Inspired by The Durutti Column, Massive Attack, and Everything But The Girl, the album sees him painting shades of post-punk, ethereal pop, trip-hop and street soul into nine aesthetically consistent songs. From the early morning ambience of ‘Into The Doldrums’ to the heaving breakbeat soul of ‘Close To Greatness’ and the sundown strut of ‘A Pain I Used To Feel’, Into The Doldrums unfolds with the logic of a hazy, sunkissed daydream.

Millos Kaiser, Te Quero Perto

Assembled like a DJ-friendly 12” for the heads, Te Quero Perto kicks off with Millos’ original ‘club mix’ and an accompanying ‘instrumental’ version (digital.only). Driven by an uptempo machine beat straight out of the mid-'80s, rave pianos, 303 acid bass, and an explosive Brazilian pop vocal sung by Juju Bonjour, it’s an absolute belter of a tune and a masterclass in in-period styling.

MĀ, Blame It On The Weather

After selling out pre-orders for a vinyl repress of her debut, Breakfast With Hades, in four days, Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa-based singer-songwriter, rapper, beatmaker and band leader Maarire Brunning-Kouka aka MĀ, returns with her second album, Blame It On The Weather.

Lila Tirando a Violeta, Dream of Snakes

Over the last half-decade, Uruguayan music producer and vocalist Lila Tirando a Violeta has distinguished herself internationally through a series of releases for Hyperdub and N.A.A.F.I and audiovisual sets for Mutek, Primavera Sound, Boiler Room TV, and Unsound Festival. Along the way, she has positioned herself on the vanguard of an aesthetic that reframes South American melodies and percussion inside avant-garde soundscapes and hard-edged machine beats equal parts IDM, industrial, techno and gabber.

The Hongi Slicker, Falling Off / Do Better (For Us)

Mānuka Recordings is pleased to present our first offering in the Mānuka Special series; ‘Falling Off’ / ‘Do It Better (For Us),’ a collaboration with The Hongi Slicker aka Troy Kingi (Te Arawa, Ngāpuhi, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui), an award-winning, multi-genre Māori musician and actor from Rotorua and Te Kaha. Best known for his ongoing “ten albums, ten genres, ten years” recording project and his memorable acting roles in the local films Hunt For The Wilderpeople and Mt Zion, Kingi possesses a unique cultural currency that allows him to move freely between the mainstream and underground of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Time Cow, Million Leg Millipede

Across ‘Million Leg Millipede’, Jordan Chung, aka Time Cow, evokes the feeling of tramping through a lush island rainforest by night, surrounded by an ecosystem of activity as moonlight pierces the canopy. Built on a squelchy, shuffling riddim, the moderato-tempo instrumental track quickly expands in scope and vision as floaty synth pads, field recordings, and subtle percussive elements rustle through the foliage. Immersive, all-consuming and hypnotic, by the time ‘Million Leg Millipede’ is in full march, it could happily stretch out into the endless depths of infinity.

Louisa Williamson, In Tune (feat. MĀ)

‘In Tune’ is the first single from the Wellington saxophonist, composer and band leader Louisa Williamson’s forthcoming second album, Groundwork. Beginning with a flurry of woodwinds, piano and explosive rhythms, ‘In Tune’ unfolds into a regal backdrop for songwriter and vocalist MĀ to combine neo-soul tones with hip-hop cadences while singing in a languid, unhurried manner about coexistence, connection, and the intricacies that lie between.

D.D. Mirage, Exotic Illusions

After releasing their well-received 7” and 12” singles ‘Night Time’ and ‘Feel It / So Hot’, Isle of Jura is pleased to present Exotic Illusions, the debut album from D.D. Mirage, the Sydney-based duo of Josh Dives and Disky Dee.

RNZ Music Feature: Aotearoa's electronic and dub fusion artists: For today's music feature, we're travelling back to the heady days of the 1990s - when a new generation of Aotearoa jazz, soul, funk, dub and lounge musicians rose to fame. Nathan Haines and Mark De Clive-Lowe in Auckland and Bongmaster, Ebb and Solaa in Christchurch and Wellington were early pioneers of this movement. This crossover between DJ culture and live music continued into the new Millennium with Fat Freddy's Drop, Trinity Roots, Ladi6 and Solaa putting New Zealand on the musical map. Martyn Pepperell shares some sounds from the era.

DJ MIXES:

Loose FM: Not Your Mother’s Tongue w/ Marissa + Special Guest Martyn Pepperell

On June 6, 2025, Marissa from Loose FM was kind enough to broadcast a mix I recorded for her of late 90s/early 2000s downtempo, IDM, and neo-soul from Aotearoa, New Zealand. I really enjoyed putting thing one together and loved Marissa’s enthusiasm around it.

TEST PRESSING:

Susumu Yokota - Skintone Edition Volume 1

Well, this is exciting. On the 1st of August 2025, Jon Tye's Lo Recordings is releasing an incredible project that has been several years in the making, "Susumu Yokota - Skintone Edition Volume 1", presented with the generous assistance of the Yokota family.

Here's the CliffsNotes: "Skintone Edition Volume 1" is a 7-album box set that collects half of the fourteen ambient/ambient-slanted albums the late, great Japanese composer, producer, DJ, and visual artist Susumu Yokota released through his Skintone label between 1998 and 2012. As one of the most internationally influential figures to emerge from the Japanese musical canon during the '90s and 2000s, his is a name that needs no introduction over here. Read more here.

Reviews Roundup: Harmony Index, Tenniscoats, .VRIL, Dennis Harte

Hello there. I've just arrived back from two weeks in Australia, where I was lucky enough to attend a bunch of great shows at the Sydney Opera House (Jessica Pratt, Pat Metheny, Shackleton + Azu Tiwaline), go to a warehouse party in Marrickville, and eat my weight in fancy pasta before heading to Melbourne. Over the second week, we DJed at a bunch of beautiful spots around town (Hope Street Radio, High Note, etc) and managed to see Keanu Nelson, Richard Akingbehin & Tikiman, MC Yallah and Tenniscoats perform. Pretty good innings for a fortnight away. While I'm recalibrating, here are some short blurbs on a few recent releases I'm vibing on. Read more here.

Freh Khodja ‘Ken Andi Habib’ (WEWANTSOUNDS)

If you're looking to be transported back to the best of 1970s Paris, have I ever got the impending reissue for you. As the story goes, Freh Khodja was born in 1949 in Sidi Bel Abbès, Algeria. Growing up in the "Little Paris" of North Africa, he developed an early passion for music, studying saxophone and theory, before eventually travelling across the Mediterranean Sea to France in 1968, where he continued his musical training at the École Normale de Musique in Paris. Of course, alongside his musical education, he experienced the unsettling realities of immigrant life in France. Read more here.

Space Ghost & Teddy Bryant ‘Majestic Fantasies’ (Peace World Records)

Space Ghost & Teddy Bryant's quietly anticipated first album sees the California/South Carolina-based duo building on the transcendent street soul, boogie and new age funk sensibilities of their debut EP, Heaven Sent. Read more here.

Palace Pasador ‘Footprint Affair’ (Phantom Island)

So, funny story, the first time I listened to "Footprint Affair" by Palace Pasador, it was by accident while trying to tap in with Lexx's recent record. I'm still not really sure how it happens, but as it turns out, these self-styled frontrunners of "Switzerland's underground Dub Pop movement" have really got it going on. Read more here.

Mark de Clive-Lowe ‘Past Present (Tone Poems Across Time)’ (Impressive Collective / BBE)

During the first half of 2023, the Japanese-New Zealand composer, pianist, producer and DJ Mark de Clive-Lowe spent four months travelling through Japan on a deeply personal journey. The reason for this extended foray to the Land of the Rising Sun was to retrace a series of moments from the twenty years his late New Zealand-born father, Robin de Clive-Lowe, spent living and working in Japan between 1953 and 1973. Along the way, Mark found his memories of, as he put it, "an overbearingly strict, conservative man," melting away as he discovered another side of Robin. "A young man so open-hearted, open-minded and open-spirited, with a zest for life and unbridled sense of adventure." Read more here.

Chaos In The CBD ‘A Deeper Life’ (In Dust We Trust)

Last week, I was very pleased to see the Peckham-based, New Zealand producer-DJ brother duo Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales aka Chaos In The CBD, finally release their debut album, "A Deeper Life." Fifteen years ago, I interviewed the brothers for the first time for the now-defunct and regionally legendary New Zealand music magazine, Rip It Up. At the time, having emerged out of the blog house era, before doing backwards-looking deep dives into the history of the French Touch scene and foundational Chicago House, they were on the verge of taking their sun-kissed Antipodean house sound to the world.

Reviews Roundup: Keanu Nelson, Jungles / Arnhem Land, Ralph White, Clear Path Ensemble

In recent months, I've been locked down doing a whole bunch of historical writing work about New Zealand's '90s and early 2000s house, techno and downbeat scenes. Now that most of that is over (for now), it's time to get back to some extracurricular activities, like digging into a few recent Australian reissue releases and a stunning new private press new age jazz LP from my hometown. As always, please enjoy. Read more here.

For Mankind & East Coast Love Affair ‘Musica Para Todos’ (Athens Of The North)

As the story goes, Ibiza resident Russ Forman, aka For Mankind, has been threatening Athens of the North's house band East Coast Love Affair (Nick Moore (Linkwood) and AOTN founder Euan Fryer) with the idea of doing some studio collaborations for some time now. And lo and behold, last winter, they got together in the studio to record the eight songs that makeup "Musica Para Todos". Read more here.
