NZWe are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Chris Faiumu (DJ Mu), founding member of Fat Freddy’s Drop 💚
A pioneer of Aotearoa’s unique blend of jazz, dub and soul, Faiumu helped shape the sound of a generation. What began as jam sessions in late-night Wellington evolved into one of New Zealand’s most beloved bands, with a global fanbase and a reputation for unforgettable live performances.
🎥 In 2005 ‘Making Music – Fat Freddy’s Drop’, Faiumu and Dallas Tamaira reflect on their early days, creative process, and the joy of live experimentation. It’s a snapshot of a band guided by instinct, community, and groove.
