Be The One EP by Groundhog

On the shores of Te Moana-a-Toi, where the Bay of Plenty kissed the city of Tauranga, a pair of friends, kindred spirits bound by rhythm and melody, found inspiration in the whispers of the sea breeze and the laughter of the sunlit waves. These two, Groundhog, were purveyors of groove. One morning, as the first lights danced across the water, they stood atop Mauao, the sacred mountain overlooking their hometown. The air was alive with energy, as if the earth hummed in anticipation of what would come. It was there, under the glow of the rising sun, that inspiration struck. The first melody emerged full of promise. They called it "Be The One," which captured the belief that every step forward was a chance to be someone's light.

Later, as they wandered through the bustling markets of Tauranga, the vibrant energy of the people ignited their imagination. This became the soul of "What's That," a playful groove infused with funky beats that seemed to ask a question without ever needing an answer - a celebration of curiosity. As the day turned to twilight, the ocean's hum and the moon's glow inspired the final "Chandeliers." This track was their homage to the night, to moments of intimacy and wonder shared under a canopy of glittering lights.

With the three tracks complete, Groundhog knew they had captured the spirit of Tauranga, the energy of rebirth, the thrill of discovery, and the quiet magic of connection. They called their creation Be The One EP, a sonic invitation for the world to step out with open hearts and moving feet. In March 2025, as spring unfolds in the Northern Hemisphere, you will hear what Te Moana-a-Toi has whispered to these two souls. From the shores of the Bay of Plenty to dance floors everywhere, the Be The One EP is ready to bloom, one beat at a time, on Apparel Music.
