Ngati Porou DJ and music producer, DJ Spell, has put his spin on the latest Kora single, Weekend to keep the funk-fuelled and good vibes rolling on into Autumn and beyond.

A song to dance the stress away to, Weekend features a 90’s flavoured beat and digital funk bassline, accompanied by chilled chords and dubwise bubbles. Now, the DJ Spell remix adds even extra energy and good vibes to the original beat.
Weekend is a celebration of the end of the working week and a hymn for the working folk who can finally put down their tools and revel in the euphoria of their “two days to feel alive”.

Originating from Whakatane, the four musical brothers from the Kora family - Laughton, Francis, Stuart and Brad - began playing together as a band in the early 1990's.
Since releasing their first EP in 2004, the band quickly developed a reputation as being one of the nation's finest live acts. A debut LP followed in 2007 and then a follow-up LP in 2012, and then more singles followed. Kora has won awards, achieved platinum sales and are one of the most sought-after and respected live bands in New Zealand.
Songwriting for new Kora releases began in 2019, and new material has been received exceptionally well at recent shows – including latest singles Secret Lover and Weekend. A fresh line-up based around long term members Fran Kora, Dan McGruer and Richie Allan has blossomed with the addition of some of the hottest musicians in the country in Darren Mathiassen (Trinity Roots, Hollie Smith, Shapeshifter), Marika Hodgson (Hollie Smith, Troy Kingi, Alae) and Karlos Tunks (Troy Kingi, Modern Maori Quartet).
Kora performed at some of Aotearoa’s biggest festivals over summer including One Love, Sound Valley and Electric Avenue and are set to release their new EP later in 2021.
