Following hot on the heels of his recent collection of remixes of other artists - "Gimme Gimme Shark Treatment", Sharkweek is proud to announce the release of companion album "Shark N Taties".

Eleven original Sharkweek tracks have been sliced, diced, liberally sauced, thoroughly chewed and then colourfully regurgitated by a range of NZ electronica artists.

From the playful fidget house of Haszari to the take-no-prisoners dark and heavy dubstep of Sick Cycle, from the lush ambient dub of Invader Tron to the minimal tech of nsu, this album has something for everyone.

As well as being a collection of new interpretations of old songs, this album also celebrates one of the greatest things about electronic music in New Zealand: the wonderful sense of community, networking, mutual encouragement, collaboration, and general swapping of ideas that we have here.

Sharkweek's new album is a collection of remixes of fellow NZ electronic artists, plus NY hip hop group The Illtronics.

Ranging from progressive trance to ambient soundscapes both light and dark, from psychedelic lounge music to weirdo funky hip hop, Gimme Gimme Shark Treatment has something for everyone.

"Sharkweek's first official collection of remixes for other artists will satisfy and surprise at the same time, With this collection, he takes on 7 diverse original pieces, dissects them, and puts them back together but not before applying his very own signature "Shark treatment" touch. There's hints of the familiar ambient and psychedelic sound-scapes in "Part Of Me" and "Far From Comfort" while on the other end of the scale, "Wii Break" is a serious full-on dance-floor assault. "Harmonia" is one of the standouts here - this gradually ascending journey of over 11 minutes starts out as deep, moody and intoxicated, but by the end is nothing but uplifting. Highly recommended listening from one of Dunedin's finest."

Sharkweek's second album, "Egyptian Lions" offers lush soundscapes punctuated with surreal samples, playful melodies and manipulated found sounds. The musical themes drift between ambient, pop and dub. The songs are sometimes dreamy, sometimes deliriously playful. There's obvious evidence of Lewis' musical growth, yet it's also familiar enough to be unmistakeably 'Sharkweek'. This eclectic mix, coupled with some stellar guest appearances from other musicians makes for an evocative and sometimes surprising listening experience.

Responses from Sharkweek fans have been very positive:

"A mystical journey through lands afar ... trippy soundscapes, psychedelic ambient dub, futuristic space adventures and glitchy electro pop .. an ear orgasm of sounds that twist and turn evolving into a collection of songs that is intriguing, beautiful and a dose of epic electro trippiness. It has an otherworldly feel, yet is warm and inviting, like friendly aliens .. it's a trek into the deep dark unknown."

"There is an overwhelming feeling of being in some sort of dubbed-out dream ... an abundance of differing textures and tempos that also enhance the subconscious feel of the album (mixing the sounds of yore with those of the now) ... a powerfully contemplative effort from Sharkweek and one that will reward the listener with repeat listens."

"Sharkweek creates worlds within which any number of stories may be told. Listening to the tracks on this album will educate the senses and reorient one’s views to the vast possibilities the ambient mode can bring."

"'Egyptian Lions' is a sonic journey that messes with time nicely, both nostalgic and futuristic. One part plane trip in a canvas and balsa wood De Havilland Mosquito and second part Tardis. You’ll find yourself walking out of a blue phone box in some unknown desert or St Kilda beach even, thinking you are Dr Who or perhaps a Robospacejesus. For some uncensored reality, put on your flying helmet and enjoy the mystical revelations."

"'Egyptian Lions' is full-bodied and warm and thick with ambience and with beats to keep your ears on task. I find myself being drawn into the emotion of each song without trying and almost against my will."

"I imagine this weird elaborate ballroom with inebriated Martians in tall white wigs dancing to songs they have mixed using transmissions sent by Earth back in the 1960s."

The Tom Bosley Experience are proud to announce the launch of their new album, Remix Picnic.

Their sound has always held a curious niche within Kiwi electronica. Tracks have ranged from the poppy-joyous through jazz improv to darkside with a self-loathing edge. On the way they’ve met and mingled with similarly minded musicians and gained a few friends on the way.

It’s here that you can hear the outcome of those friendships in the form of remix tracks by a number of the artists they’ve come to know.

Included are the destructive noise of Sick Cycle, Romantech’s trademark intelligent DnB, the electro-punk stylings of rising star SoNic Smith, kitchen-sink downbeat from Sharkweek, lush electronica from Stray Theories, the glitchy melancholia of Hummel, and the glacial dub experiments of Thalidomide Dog.
