The Big Fresh Collective returns to bFM after a well-deserved summer break! Ōtautahi DJ, AJHONEYSUCKLE, brings together some high energy for BFC's first show of 2022.
Yesterday the Resident Doctor’s Association announced that they'd come to an agreement with the District Health Boards over safer rosters. The deal guarantees doctors safe working hours with no more than 10 consecutive rostered days, and also they will not be rostered on for more than 4 consecutive night shifts of up to 10 hours. 95bFM's Dylan Kelly speaks to resident doctor Catherine Foster about her interpretation of the deal and whether the changes are adequate.
95bFM Residency: The Big Fresh Collective host Florence Ferguson, aka Foxtrot.
Pōneke-born but Otautahi-based, Foxtrot began selecting tunes on RDU 98.5 FM. Capturing hearts (and ears), she was thrust onto CDJs; quickly gaining traction among the hard hitters of the underground ’03 scene.
A big lover of old-school trance, breakbeat, electro, and "crack-up bootlegs" she secured slots alongside some of finest local talent; Keepsakes, Texture, Liam K. Swiggs, & Ultraviolet.
Drawing influence from fun-loving techno DJs such as Anetha & VTSS, and letting Ōtautahi's heavy drum n bass scene seep through her sets, there really isn’t anything Foxtrot would shy away from.
First up in the lerm werld residency is none other than the hardest working DJ in the scene, Keighto. Honestly one of the most versatile heavy lifters you will ever have the pleasure to meet. Kate is a weapon on the tools, but mixes in such a way that you know she cares about you and your dreams. Some people may be mistaken to think that Keighto is just a UKG DJ, but becoming a staple in the lermiversa she has proven time after time how versatile she truly is. This mix does it again with tunes ranging from hard hitting Electro to heartfelt pop bangers. Buckle in and enjoy the ride.
