The highly anticipated solo album from Tiki Taane featuring the groundbreaking singles ‘Tangaroa’, ‘Now This Is It’, ‘Our Favourite Target’ & ‘Always on My Mind’. Tiki Taane emerges from the studio with ‘Past, Present, Future’, his first solo offering, that is musically fearless, intensely personal & culturally significant.

‘Past, Present, Future’ is the culmination of a musical journey that has already spanned more than a decade. “I feel like I’ve completed a fifteen-year apprenticeship,” Taane reflects. “But I’ve never worked so hard, ventured so deep or asked so much of myself as I did during the production of this album. It feels like a graduation.”

The raw fusion of Tiki’s trademark bass-heavy production with traditional Maori instrumentation characterises the album. “It’s like punk dub meets tangatawhenua,” Taane states matter-of-factly. This is strikingly evident in the mesmerizing first single ‘Tangaroa’, as well as the haunting title track. ‘Past, Present, Future’ is as much about honouring Taane’s Maori ancestry as it is about pushing musical boundaries & exploring the realms of sound.
