ASTON RD SESSIONS - Estère "Ambition"
Good morning whānau! Here is the first of Estère's Aston Rd Sessions that we filmed LIVE at Surgery Studios last year. Having just returned from a tour across Africa, it was fantastic to hear some of Estère's new work - there's an invigorating, contagious, hip-sashaying lineup of new tracks. Thanks Estère, Aston Rd + Dr Lee Prebble of Surgery Studios for having us along!

The Black Seeds #flamingmarvellous
We went along to Homegrown 2016 to film The Black Seeds live at Homegrown 2016.
They've never failed to deliver an energy-packed, killer set - it was magic to film.
We loved their set as much as the crowd did.
Here's our take on it, edited to The Black Seeds "Turn It Around".
Amsterdam STOP|OVER + TORA! TORA! TORA! 2015
We have meandered from AIRBORNE \\ locations to Amsterdam, and it has definitely exceeded expectations - the slender brick buildings beside the fanning canal network, the charming river boats, the accessibility of the city by foot, the tram network, but by far most strikingly, the endless lines of cyclists casually milling past - so fluent with their vehicles that they pass with an ear to a cellphone or pinning up hair, or with a handful of children balanced around them. There are also the coffee houses.
We've loved being in Amsterdam - and will definitely return. While in Amsterdam we also found that the fantastic coastal music festival Tora! Tora! Tora! released our wrap video of the highlights of Tora! Tora! Tora! 2015. It was another fantastic year, punctuated by the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse on the Saturday Night! We love this festival of good times, great music, soothing coffee, sand, surf, relaxed parents and freed little wildlings able to let their hair loose.
We'll see you there again next year.
Live recorded music featured in the video from Tora! Tora! Tora! 2015 artists Amiria Grenell, The Bones and Fortunes.
The Black Seeds - OPONONI, NZ '14/'15 Summer Tour
Oh, THESE GUYS. Over the summer we followed these lovely humans around the country filming shows in Taupo, the Coromandel + Opononi - and The Black Seeds have just released another of the videos we made for them covering the tour. The internationally renowned band played with Katchafire & Sons Of Zion. We caught up with our lovely friends from Aerial Vision for some pretty dang fine drone footage as well. Thanks, you beauties. x
Here's a video diary mashup of the amazing day they had in the beautiful Far North, set to their track 'Love Me Now'.
Music At MATUA - The Nudge, Estère + Fly My Pretties
Auckland boutique festival "Music At Matua" presented THE NUDGE, ESTÈRE + FLY MY PRETTIES, in one delicious line up. The weather was scorching and the crowd delighted in the wine, the food selection on offer, and the superb summer sounds. We were there to film The Nudge as they kicked off the festival with their uniquely entrancing multi-genre music, followed by the glorious 'electric blue witch-hop' beats from Estère. We encountered people hearing her work for the first time who were instantly mesmerised. Finally, the much anticipated the big band lineup of Fly My Pretties, which included many friends - the Nudge boys Ryan Prebble, James Coyle + Iraia Whakamoe, Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle), Barnaby Weir (The Black Seeds), Mike Fabulous (Lord Echo/TBS), Nigel Patterson (The Black Seeds) and Jarney Murphy (also The Black Seeds). We were very pleased to briefly meet Age Pryor - we've been fans for some time. A really fun day - we certainly got our dancing shoes on.
Talented Babe Alert! Estère + her MPC Lola had a truly great set with some sweet moves.
Getting ready - the view from the kit.
This year's ensemble of Fly My Pretties had the crowd up on their feet in no time.
The Black Seeds : Summer Tour '14-15

Aston Rd Sessions : Estère - L'oiseau dans l'etoile (live)
And here it is.
It's the final instalment of the Aston Rd Sessions - and what a way to conclude them.
Presenting the final video from the ASTON ROAD SESSIONS (LIVE) : Estère - L'oiseau dans l'etoile. We teamed up with the hugely talented, fun and embracing crew at Aston Road for three nights of inimitable, intimate live studio sessions at Blue Barn Studios, Wellington.
Thomas Oliver, Louis Baker and Estère are superb performers and able to move their audiences, be it along emotional planes or up on to their feet. We highly recommend getting to your feet for this last live Aston Rd Sessions video.
AFROPUNK coverage for Estère video
Filmed and edited by The Renegade Peach Project
Afropunk has covered Estère's ASTON ROAD (live) Session performance of "The Words That Maketh Murder" (P J Harvey cover). Estère transformed this haunting song into a contagious hip-bopping sing-a-long. Great work Estère - what a babe.
