"Kelz Garage" is a song by New Zealand hip-hop group SWIDT. Originally an instrumental interlude on their 2017 album Stoneyhunga, the song was re-recorded with singer Lomez Brown and released as a single from their EP 312 Day. The song was a commercial success, receiving a gold certification and was one of the top top 20 songs by New Zealand artists for 2022.
"Kelz Garage" began as an instrumental on SWIDT's debut studio album Stoneyhunga (2017).[1] Kelz is a friend of the band members, who is known for hosting drinks in his garage.[2]
Release and promotionedit
A new version of the song featuring Lomez Brown was released as the first track of SWIDT's three song EP 312 Day in December 2021.[3][4]
The song was part of a music video directed by Connor Pritchard, which was a medley of the three tracks from 312 Day in December 2021.[5] In May 2022, a stand-along music video for the song was created, in a collaboration with Spark New Zealand and Samsung, showcasing illustrations by Harris Keenan.[6] SWIDT and Lomez Brown performed the song live on Breakfast, The Project, and released a live performance video recorded at Roundhead Studios on the band's YouTube channel, that they performed together with R&B group Village90.[7][8]
Critical receptionedit
Chris Schulz of The New Zealand Herald described the original instrumental from Stoneyhunga as "screaming out for more".[1] Omni Arona of Craccum saw it as the highlight of the EP, describing it as "capturing the vibe of chatting shit with your friends on a Friday night".[9] Reviewers from Sniffers similarly saw the song as the EP's standout track, describing it as a "reggae-infused Pasifika drink-up anthem" with "tropical atmospheres".[10]
