A good friend of ours Mr. Recloose was visiting our office a few months ago and gave me this incredible record to check out. I was so overwelmed by it that I just had to license it for Best Seven Records.

The track Midnight Marauders by the New-Zealand based artist-outfit Joe Dukie and Fitchie was a limited vinyl release available only in New Zealand.

Joe Dukie and Fitchie (Dallas and Mu) met 5 years ago and have been collaborating ever since. In 1999 Dallas (Joe Dukie) released his debut EP 'Better than Change' which was well received by local music media and the title track gained extensive radio and video play. These two talents are the alter ego's of Wellington's DJ MU and vocalist Dallas Tamaira, gaining momentum with their big band Fat Freddy's drop, who have been rocking the live scene in New Zealand for the last couple of years.

Joe Dukie has been singing and song writing since he was a wee small boy. With a myriad of live experience in his past including travelling the country with theatre company Pacific Underground. Together the pair have previously been key players with Crackhead Experience, Bongmaster and TrinityRoots.

P.S. Soundboys check the dub on the b-side!
