RIP to the legends @lalo_schifrin and Walter Scott of @themightywhispers who passed away in the last week or so - we dig into Lalo's back cat of CRIME JAZZ (tm) hour one including some our favourite tracks that use his tunes as sample sources, after that Kirk's goodies including a brand new track from local jazzy house crew @after_ours_official, a salute to Walter Scott, and some birthday tunes for the great Phyllis Hyman. 

Hour three we had a super special pre-release listen (in the company of the excellent Kenny Sterling) to the Orbits LP from The Circling Sun (released Friday 11 July). Shit is incredible! They will be performing at the Karangahape Road branch of Flying Nun record store 3pm Saturday 12 July), and the record will be available in either limited edition green or classic black vinyl from all the best stores: Dusty Crates, Stack Records, Flying Nun, Flying Out, Southbound, Real Groovy, Marbecks, Ulo (Raglan) and or course on the Circling Sun bandcamp. Buy that!

The don Campbell brings three hours of beautiful tunes with classic 2-step soul, contemporary bits, Latin, Jazz, Nu Soul, and of course Boogie. Currently rejigging his record wants list in the lead up to a Japan jaunt, his record purchasing has recently got the handbrake treatment, so he's been digging deep in his extensive archives to bring you the true notes.
