And here it is. We have loved collaborating with Troy Kingi on the official music video for this track from his upcoming album. A complete change in direction from his previous album, Holy Colony Burning Acres is the third and reggae instalment of Troy Kingi’s aspirational “10|10|10” series – ten albums in ten genres in ten years. He’s good. He’s really good.
Enjoy.
The vords on every Vellingtonians lips…
“What Will You Do In The Shadows?” - hope you can make it along if you haven’t already! The crowds are enthralled by the world Second Unit has conjured, and we are thoroughly enjoying being a part of it, capturing the magic each night in this fully interactive and immersive theatrical experience.
Here’s a wee something we’ve put together - check it out!
"Go on, try a bite of the horror genre," they said.
"Ahhh, look now you're hooked on it (and slightly infested)."
WE ARE LOVING +WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THE SHADOWS?+

A little throwback to HOMEGROWN 2019 now that we well and truly have our thermals on!
We did some filming for The Black Seeds + Shapeshifter of their Homegrown sets.
Much aroha + respect to these fantastic bands that keep delivering just what the crowds ordered.
It was absolutely incredible to go on tour with UB40 ft. Ali Campbell + Astro - and to experience the crowd going gently wild at London’s O2. Here are some of the videos we put together for the band as they made their way across the UK and Amsterdam. We’ll be jumping aboard another UB40 tour leg soon - stay tuned!
It’s Adventure Time… another The Upbeats #nosleeptil journey of musical collaboration on site in epic locations. Here’s some of the video goods we put together for this incredible crew.
Last weekend - a great Seeds show in Christchurch!
We love putting together videos like this, showcasing summer crowds relishing great live music..
It has landed!
Our music video collaboration with Tunes Of I + Don't Panic Pictures is out in the 'verse and Happy has premiered it! We had a blast working with TOI. Thanks for having us aboard!
Thanks also to NZOnAir for supporting great New Zealand music.
Word from Happy on KISS THE SKY (Official Music Video):
"Ok, let’s talk about the new video from Tunes Of I… this thing is an all-out explosion of wonderful weirdness [...] I feel like I’ve just come off a really intense trip, but I’m not complaining. In fact, I can’t wait to do it all again."
Here it is!

Beautiful, captivating India.
Renegade Peach has been in the South West of this magnificent and complex country. We've been visiting Munnar tea plantations 1800m above sea level, treading the well worn roads of Kochi and boating the Backwaters of Kerala - happily navigating the never ending sea of people and colour.
TUKI FESTIVAL, Wanaka 2018
What a line-up, what a day.
Here's a sneak highlights video that we captured for the festival organisers!
Music by LIPS, MARLON WILLIAMS + UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA.
Here it is!
Our music video collaboration with Sean O'Brien a.k.a. Joe Blossom for "The Breaking", the latest release from his latest album "All of the Above". We filmed the content of this video in NYC and Wellington, trying to capture the poetic nostalgia prevelant throughout this haunting track.
Featuring Lisa Tomlins and Vanessa Stacey whose vocals feature on the track, "The Breaking" is a track that weaves seamlessly in amongst the other tracks from Joe Blossom's cracker album.
The video was released on Under The Radar this morning.
What a blast!
Thanks TUKI Festival for having us along to film + interview an outstanding line-up. From treasured personal favourites like The Phoenix Foundation + UMO to new encounters such as Aaradhna, Marlon Williams, Lips, Maala and more, TUKI festival delivered great set after great set. We filmed a portion of each set and then interviewed the artists about their upcoming year in music, their experience of TUKI + then threw in a few curveball queries...
The TUKI crew were welcoming + so hospitable. Much aroha to the organisers, Lake Wanaka SouNZ. Profits made from the festival go directly back into future events and the Wanaka community. Since the first festival put together by the non-profit group in 1998, more than $118,000 has been put back into supporting music, youth, and the environment within the region.
It was also our son Theo's first festival - and he not only survived it like a champ, he seemed to really get into it! And of course, last but not least, thanks to Aerial Vision for coming aboard to film and capture some drone footage! It's always great to work alongside this duo.
#tukifestival #lovelivemusic
Marlon Williams charming the crowd with a fantastic band backing him. This set was the start of a 60 shows for Marlon.
Interviewing these babes Anika Moa + Mel Parsons - what a blast.

Theo! Our little man on high watching Marlon Williams' set. His first festival of many.
UMO - Unknown Mortal Orchestra were phenomenal.
Theo's first festival! That's right, our little man was there for the festivities and was a champion.
Sound crew at The Forest Stage
TUKI! We loved being a part of the festival - all the crew were efficient + onto it, and it felt stress free.
It's hard to believe we're finished this leg of our journey with The Upbeats! What a time. It was such a privilege to get to know this crew and document this collaboration project with The Upbeats, Noisia and Kitty Izu Studio. Filming goals.
どうもありがとう Japan! We also captured many stills along the way - here are a few of them.
Much aroha + thanks to The Upbeats.
We're in Japan filming with The Upbeats as they undertake their International recording project. Here are some of the social media videos we've put together for them.
Bright lights, big city, -4°C last night, and robot sushi is legit. #welovetokyo
We've been on the road filming Shapeshifter as they make their way around the country performing live for punters all the way from Whanagamata to Wanaka.

A special release just in time for fiesta season - the Official Music Video for the latest single from The Black Seeds "Everybody Knows". We filmed this on a stunner of a Wellington day.
Many thanks to The Black Seeds, Dawn Creative, The Makers Initiative + Wellington for their help in making this one heck of a feel-good, summer-vibing vid.
#summersounds #theblackseeds
Ho Ho Ho!
'Tis the start of the Silly Season - and this is the most exciting and lavish Christmas Office Party out there. We were there to capture some of the excitement, with music by the likes of The Phoenix Foundation, Estere, and visuals by Lady Lazer Light.
Party brought, by KoKo Creative.
The Renegade Peach Project's Mark Russell flew over to Great Barrier Island this weekend to host an astrophotography workshop for GBI residents. The photography and star enthusiasts learnt more about their cameras' manual settings and were able to experiment with them. Due to poor weather conditions we weren't able to photograph outside, but each participant left equipped with the know-how and practical workshop experience to capture the stars in their own time.
Great feedback for those involved, and looking forward to future workshops (and to seeing some of those starscapes!)
