L.A.B arrive with their new single Real Ones featuring Kings, taken from their recently released number one album, L.A.B V. Alongside the release, one of Aotearoa’s largest names in electronic music, Quix, presents an energetic trap remix of the original track.

Featuring vocals from Kings, Real Ones is a stand out hip-hop track from the album and arrives shortly after its massive live debut across L.A.B’s sold out summer tour. Real Ones is taken from the album L.A.B V, the band’s fifth album in five years which topped the charts upon release in NZ, and has already been certified Gold.

The album is set for release on vinyl worldwide on April 8, just as the band finally return to Australia. The Australian tour will see the band perform at the iconic Byron Bay Bluesfest, plus sold-out shows in Sydney, Gold Coast & Perth, plus shows in Melbourne & Brisbane.

New Zealand producer/DJ Quix brings his unique sound to his bass-heavy rework of the track. Having worked alongside the likes of Steve Aoki & Alison Wonderland, the remix proves to be prepped & primed for the mainstage at any large-scale festival he’s known to grace the stages of.

2021 saw L.A.B continue to cement themselves as one of NZ’s hardest-working bands. Their fifth album was released just as the band swept the Aotearoa Music Awards, winning Single of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Group & Best Roots Artist. These accolades saw the band become the first act since Lorde to win both Single & Album of the Year in the same year.
