Today on your bFM Breakfast: Never fear, Tess is here bringing you a more mellow morning; While His Worship is saturated in the media with court cases and all sorts, we get official word from the Man himself; Andy Deere graces us in studio to talk about his film, Bludgeon (2018), teaching us about good ol' medieval battles; Amelia reviews The Green Fog (2018) and yep, it's good; and Tess is going into the future with the University of Auckland's Danny Osborne, what will politics look like? It's grim; But hey, Tess reckons she might have a tune or two to brighten up your Tuesday.
Explosive electronics, positively primal percussion and magnificently malodorous melodies all lurk within this 3 hour stroll down the Stinky Grooves stretch. Bonus depth and breadth for maximum satisfaction.
It's NZ Music Month, and Jubt is joined in the studio by Peter McLennan, local musician and writer, who is in the process of writing a book on the history of Auckland label Deepgrooves, and to present a mix featuring the best of the label including tracks from Rhythm & Business, Urban Disturbance, The Mighty Asterix, The New Loungehead, Sulata, Jules Issa, Combinations and many more. Later in the show, NZ Music's king of funky digging Dujon Cullingford presents part two of his Disco Downunder mixes, with Leo de Castro, Dalvanius Prime, Pacific Eardrum, Sahara, Rodger Fox Big Band, Certain Sounds '80, Beaver & The Flyers, and a monster Billy Cobham cover by the 1860 Band. Essential listening!
