Below is our bio, so check it out if you are interested..... 


Loosely translated, Batucada means percussive samba jam.  Throw in two guitars, bass, keyboard, a slick horn section and one of the Pacific's finest MCs, and you have Batucada Sound Machine.  The 13 piece group has evolved from the impromptu “batucada” sessions back in 2003 to become one of NZ's most sought after acts.  Their tasty concoction of and Brazilian, Cuban and afro-beat rhythms  is given a hip hop front courtesy of MC Hazaduz (Che Fu & the Krates) .  This kingpin of the rising local hip hop scene lays solid rhymes over the massive samba-reggae percussion while the talented band adds rich pacific soul, reggae and funk flavours.  

With influences from bands such as Ozomatli, Manu Chao and Fela Kuti, BSM are fast developing a reputation for their diversity, musicality and collective impulsiveness - a BSM set can be a 2 hour long musically enlightening tour through a variety of different tempos, timings, beats, styles and rhymes.  The soulful vocals and super-tight horn section layer the Latin infused rhythms and wall-of-sound percussion to form an intensity that has left crowds throughout Australasia in varying states of euphoria. 

The rapidly rising popularity of BSM has resulted in the band making the bill at numerous well respected events over the past 18 months, alongside global heavyweights Damien Marley, Michael Franti and The Cat Empire.  Lucky punters at the Sydney Festival, Cuba Street Carnival, Byron Bay Blues & Roots Festival, Raglan SoundSplash and WOMAD Taranaki (NZ) have experienced the explosiveness of a Batucada Sound Machine performance. 

The reviews spread quickly and in August of 2006 they had the privilege of playing the main stages at WOMAD Rivermead (UK) and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  In Oct 06 they released their live album recorded by Radio NZ which captures their memorable set at the 2005 WOMAD Festival in Taranaki. Stay tuned for their debut studio album later in 2007.  Ay Muleque!

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our third LP release...

"Anutha Kinda Brotha" is the debut LP from underground legend ART TERRY. Since moving to the UK from his native Los Angeles in the early 90s, Mr Terry has established himself as one of London's characters. Describing Art's sound to the uninitiated usually involves debunking some of the stereotypes of what the 'typical' black Californian might play. Despite his jazz training, and coming of age to the sounds of classic soul and funk, these styles are only a part of his musical vision. His fascination with folk styles, classical music, punk rock, pure pop, easy listening, musical theatre and the European avant garde have taken him on different paths from most...

The result is an orchestral pop record full of sonic inventiveness, whether it's the blend of Shuggie Otis's 60s California and Sun Ra's ancient Egypt on 'Bible', Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons leading a mariachi band on 'Escort', or the Walt Disney music box orchestra of 'Miss Dominatrix', but whilst this is very much a sonic feast, we shouldn't overlook Art's extraordinary lyrical adeptness, and the distinctive character this brings to the proceedings, with a knack for unique and colourful imagery, and how like a great short story writer he is able to paint an engaging picture whilst keeping back from casting judgement on his characters, always leaving open ends for the listener to tie; giving us the feeling that however far astray someone might have gone, there is always sympathy and human feeling for them in Art's mind...

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our first official LP release...

"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" is the debut release from AUGUST, the London based band centred around the songwriting partnership between vocalist VEDINA MOSE and multi-instrumentalist / producer RAPHAEL MANN (MR HUDSON / JOY JOSEPH / ART TERRY), with master drummer CLEAN CUT MARK and clarinetist / vocalist MAREE CHOIE completing the core line-up, and a supporting cast including ART TERRY (keyboards), SHOHEI KAWAMOTO (AKA Japanese producer Baraki, Bass clarinet, soprano sax and flute), and KAI HOFFMAN (French horn)

Always an act that juggled a diverse set of influences, the album has been compared to artists as diverse as KATE BUSH, PRINCE, DE LA SOUL, SLY STONE, MADLIB, SERGE GAINSBOURG and THE DELFONICS, for its concoction of wild experimentation and traditional song craft, organic production and futuristic electronic touches, funk bass & drums and jazz & orchestral references, infectious melodies and lyrical flights of fancy...with nods towards classic soul, JB funk, Studio One, 60s pop, psychedelia, left field hip hop, new wave, doo wop, tropicalia, high life, & avant garde jazz, without any song ever fitting squarely into any of those categories...new music, basically...and an instant classic!

"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" can be downloaded now from the iTunes Store

The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers
