Ahoy CP Auckland! How is life in the City of Rails? A Kiwi abroad can only imagine the pride people have for the 09 right now. After just hosting the most significant injection of national pride we may ever see, and with summer at your fingertips, feel free to stand up and take a bow. Us Kiwi Londoners have been watching with pride at your ability to host a sweet little party. The whole world was glued to New Zealand and you absolutely nailed it really.

The Auckland maternity ward shall surely be predicting a busy schedule in 9 months time. If the festivities have interrupted your MP3 download time, or you just need a little more than 'AB Everything' on repeat, here are some fresh beats thrown together for you by a bunch of Londoners. Some are new, some are just coming into their own, but we have ensured variety was at the heart of what you got. Enjoy!
