Undercover Foundation Mix For NiceUp

A mixture of the old and the new sums up Undercover nicely. His love of reggae spans the entire gamut from 50s Jamaican Shuffle to Ska, Rocksteady, Roots to Dub, Rub a Dub and Digital, to the current crop of Revival Roots Reggae and Dancehall riddims. Growing up in Auckland, Undercover selected and promoted with his crew, The Sandy Bay Social Club, running sessions at Khuja and Rakinos and jamming with the likes of Gappy Ranks, Million Styles, Junior Reid, Rodney P and Skitz and JStar. Sandy Bay have also held down the Friday Night Takeout radio show on Base FM since the stations first days on air, with Piet still going strong to this day. Undercover broadened his sights and lived in Wellington and the Wairarapa for a number of years, connecting with NiceUp and Vital Sounds Hi Fi. Here he truly found his love of the Old School, while holding down regular Reggae, Hip Hop and Funk nights at his favourite bar in the world, Havana Bar. Back in Auckland again and settled with his family he 'still got game', dusting off the 7"s (as well as buying up on eBay) and selecting with Jafa Mafia Sound, Dubhead and Sandy Bay with the odd gig and ting. He also continually drops heat for the massive on his blog www.undergroundundercovered.blogspot.co.nz.
