Well Phat lovers, it's time to peddle our hazy memories back a couple of notches and dip back to the madness of the festival that was Phat 09.....for those that find the task challenging, worry not!!! The blank spaces shall be filled (Or we will just make something up which will be just as interesting)
Joachim has a chat to the Upbeats about Bringing in the New year at Phat09 once again, the commitment of the punters at Phat, their plans for the new year and who would win out of a fight between a Wolf and a Snake. Click 'More' to see the clip.

Phatclub have announced their Taster Series for the year of 2008 as a leadup to their superb New Years Eve festival, Phat 08/09 Outdoors. Of course, Phatclub have bought some heavy weight acts along for this as usual, in the guise of Spor, Stanton Warriors and huge NZ act, The Upbeats. Remember, PhatMoon is in the not to distant future also. See the full article for dates and details.
This week The Upbeats second album, "Nobody's Out There", dropped around New Zealand stores, and at the end of the week the boys are doing two live shows in Wellington and Christchurch to promote it. I had a quick chat with Jeremy Glenn (one half of the duo, the other being Dylan Jones), about the album, the live act and whats to come....
'Thinking Cap' is a single from the recently released album by The Upbeats, Nobody's Out There. Featuring amazing vocalist, Georgie, the melodic tune is one to pull the emotional strings of even the most die hard Drum and Bass fan. Check the superb music video, made by Mofresh animation - http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=8srSHJ9jLAw
Well, personally seems kinda odd that it took a Dutch label to come out with an EP named 'The New Zealand' EP, but I guess Abel Tasman was dutch and he discovered us, so the link is there....somewhere. Anyway, stole this info from Dogs on Acid - read on to find out the details of Citrus Recordings 'New Zealand EP'.
