Supergroove- Traction Full Album Zip · No Sign-up

BY David Rapp • Nov. 17, 2019

Supergroove fused funk, hip-hop, rock, soul, and dub—often in the same song. Karl Steven’s charismatic vocals, Joe Lonie’s razor-sharp production, and a rhythm section that refused to sit still made Traction stand out globally, not just in New Zealand.

Here’s a draft blog post: Supergroove – ‘Traction’: The 90s Kiwi Funk-Fusion Masterpiece That Still Slaps

If you grew up in New Zealand during the mid-90s, Traction by Supergroove wasn’t just an album—it was a soundtrack to summer, skate ramps, and late-night radio. Released in 1994, this genre-blending debut turned the Auckland five-piece into instant icons. Decades later, it still sounds fresh, funky, and fearless.

Traction isn’t just nostalgia—it’s proof that boundary-pushing music never goes out of style. Do yourself a favor: crank up “Can’t Get Enough,” and try not to move. You can’t.
