Junktion is Palmerston North’s beat orientated musical hub. It was established in 2006 with the goal of promoting local artists within the community. Junktion gathers tracks from artists in Palmerston North and abroad, makes compilations and hands them out, all for free. With funding received from the local arts council and local Bnet station, Junktion has released free music from over 30 artists from the last four years.

Preparation:

A unique blend of genres from the flatlands of Palmerston North and surrounding areas. Opening with the summer time vibes of ‘Phat Buddhas’ with Palmys own songstress Khan laying down her vocals over her London outfit. A soulful blend of jazz inspired hip-hop sees Dirty Hairy mashing it up with ‘Need Not Worry’ an up and coming emcee from Rhode Island, followed closely by Guy Friday and JK from the IllySpillaz with their Hawera meets PNorth track ‘She Makes Me Go’. An appearance by Rots One, a definitively dominate emcee from Phoenix Arizona with beats from Mike Gao (from Galapagos 4) with ‘Day after Day’. Rots One is about to drop an album with the great ‘Maker’, this is a great introduction to a rising talent. Ara (former Katchafire bassist) displays his producing prowess with his new roots/reggae outfit ‘PaePae Soundsystem’. Dar Kist and DUB XL provide the transition from organic to digital with their own unique take on the dark wobbly sound of Dubstep. Midnight Kid, Faker, Nutella Monk and MNT see the album out experimenting with their own electronic interpretations and creations.  Junktion - taking the palmers town sound from the underground.
