Very tired 95bFM correspondents Elle Daaji and Rosetta Stone recap all the excitement from last night's award ceremony for the Taite Prize 2025. They spoke to a bunch of the very talented nominees, and interviewed award recepients Byllie-Jean, MOKOTRON, and Rohan Evans in the green room post-ceremony. It was a massive night and a true testament to the importance of celebrating independent music and recognising the artistry, mahi and dedication to community that defines indie music in Aotearoa. Congratulations to this years' recepients -
