Ngā mihi to show sponsors the Tuning Fork! p.s. thanks for having me last night at Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – what an awesome show.
This was a special show for me, my last with top dawg Aneeka Moheed as my boss. Still coming back down to earth after last week's stellar performances by Exploding Rainbow Orchestra, I aired a bunch of faves I'd selected for my sets as their welcome deej.
