Summer is on us and we bought a friend to celebrate, the man who needs no introduction, the legendary DJ and producer P-MONEY!

Great to have you back AK, we love you. Let's do this.

Odd Future - Radical
I popped into Rakinos on Friday night, to snap The ARC and P-Money, and lo and behold a couple of the guys from Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All were there!
They didn’t stay very long as they were probably tired. However, I did manage to fire off a few quick snaps of them.

K+Lab and Micah - A Whole Lotta Feel Good Mix
Friday, April 1 at 9:00pm - April 2 at 3:00am
Rakinos Cafe
Wellington NZ based K+Lab ( Caleb Cowie ) is one funky Son of a preacher man! Born and raised a Jehovah's witness he rebelled against the cult like religion and found his comfort and relief through music. At the tender age of 10 he received his first guitar from his older brother Joe. From there spawned an ever growing love for music, learning to play the Bass guitar, Drums, Synths.
This live music background comes through in K+labs music and shows giving him a reputation as a party rocker with high energy vibes and whacked out costumes, he insists on bringing the madness to each and every show. This approach has gained him countless slots alongside some of the finest Electronic artists the world has to offer such as Bassnectar, Freq Nasty, Shapeshifter and many more.
K+lab has delved in to many styles of music but feels now he has the perfect balance of all his previous loves, this has helped him create a sound unique to him "It's a combination of all my favourite genres, Drum n bass, Breakbeat, Funk and Hip hop, it's like I'm Charlie sheen, I've managed to convince all my girlfriends to live together." This formula has helped him gain global support releasing music on Skanky panky (UK) and Empathy records (NZ).
His first release Wrecked featuring Analog MC instantly hit number one on download charts and went on to become one of the top downloads of the year across several stores in 2009. Following on from Wrecked he put together The whole world's ill EP, has remixed Opiuo, Minuit, Kolab and William Breakspear as well as dropping his dancefloor destroying Talking Smack.
London born, JDubs represents the truth and the light. Universally maneuvering through mind pollution and systematic lies and manipulation to speak to one's soul. Knee deep in the beats, 9 rhymes later JDubs is set to drop multiple albums.
JDubs has featured on the Pacific Heights album In A Quiet Storm, toured with Shapeshifter and worked with beatmakers Parks, P-Money and Charles Kickens.

LEMONHEADS,
After a lengthy ban from Rakinos, following our prior ban, it looked like THE ARC would never return to the hallowed house above High Street, Rakinos Funk Lounge.
We watched from the fountain as our friends enjoyed the balcony, sold out shows and the charming hospitality of the staff with one resolve - THE ARC would be back.
This year, we would like to reintroduce to you
BRRRRKINOS!!!!
BRRR (with guests)
Back for one night before we are banned again, THE ARC would like to invite you to wreak havoc in the CBD with us.
Joining us will be ex-pat rapper YOUNG LEAN keeping it greazy with a set of all new material and an ice cream face tatt.
Come down town to get it in with the weirdoes, snakes, shorties and petty hustlers in a place we are once again accepted -
Ima bad boy but still there's so much good in me
You can take me out the hood the hood is still in me
I needa girl to feel herself but can still feel me
Just let me be ya only choice no need for planB!
My love life is malnutritions you my vitaminC-
Stay down like hillary and I can be ya billy
I'll buy ya jada pinky pinkies im tha biggest willy
Just when I give it throw it back just like we playin
Frisby I can do it by myself but i'd be very lonely
Be tha diva who's my lover and my closest homie
So if you sick and tired of bein sick and tired call me
Pick up the yellow pages and look up gucci! (gucci!)
Yours,
The Jerk Movement
