Summary

Making Tracks follows musically obsessed Nick Dwyer on an entertaining, globe-trotting journey of musical discovery as he exchanges the sounds of New Zealand for the sounds of the world!

This series sees Nick heading to Brazil, India, China, Israel, South Africa & Jamaica with one mission - to push, promote and play New Zealand music in anyway he can across the globe. Whether it’s dropping the new Scribe music video on South African Music Television live to 32 African countries, storming Brazilian & Israeli radio stations begging to get NZ music play listed, blasting the streets of India with NZ’s biggest dance tunes on a makeshift Tuk Tuk covered with speakers, or taking over a Merchandise tent at China’s biggest musical festival, Nick will be giving the world a taste of kiwi music like they’ve never seen before.

More than just promoting New Zealand music, Making Tracks sees famous kiwi hits reinterpreted by musicians around the world. Can you imagine The Mint Chicks “Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No!” played by a Chinese Jazz Septet? Or Pluto’s “Dance Stamina” drummed out by a South African percussion group? What about The Straight Jacket Fits seminal “She Speeds” played on a roof top in Tel Aviv by a Ska band? Could Bic Runga’s pop ballad “Sway” be made into a Bollywood smash hit? Making Tracks has all the answers.

Equal parts entertaining romp and documentary, Making Tracks proves once again that music makes the world go round.
