Furthermore, BEST heightened the label’s profile with the two Best Seven Selections compilations (SBCD0005 und SBCD0006) – two impressively well rounded collections.With early releases that became underground hits such as Midnight Marauders by JOE DUKIE and DJ FITCHIE (behind which is none other than DALLAS TAMAIRA and CHRIS FAIMUMU - singer and producer of New Zealand reggae superstars FAT FREDDYS DROP), BEST has made his contribution to the worldwide popularity of the New Zealand collective. Their development reached its high point when the FFD album Based On A True Story (licensed by Sonar Kollektiv) received the honoured ‘Album Of The Year’ title at GILLES PETERSON’S Worldwide Music Awards in late 2005.It became a fact that if you are looking for music fusing the intensity of Soul with the groove of Reggae, you are on the highway to heaven with Best Seven.
