'Deepgrooves' out Nov 18: The tale of a 1990s Auckland record label, and the people involved

 Deepgrooves book cover


Our latest book is "Deepgrooves: A record label deep in the Pacific of bass, and the people who gave it a voice", by Peter McLennan, published on November 18 2024. Launch event at Flying Out, 80 Pitt St on Nov 22nd, 4pm-6pm. 

“From the outside, watching Deepgrooves grow, and watching what they were doing was really hugely influential on what I was listening to. I connected to the fact that they were releasing music by young Maori and Polynesian acts – that was progressive for its time. The music also felt truly competitive on the global stage” – Kirk Harding.

“It’s easily one of the most important local indie labels of the post-punk era and one that paved the way for so much New Zealand music” – Simon Grigg.
