This week on 95bFM’s The Swap Meet, K&J dive deep into the crates for a session threaded with musical milestones. With several classic albums celebrating major anniversaries around 9th November 2025, the show weaves together timeless cuts and fresh discoveries. From albums such as Sly Stone’s "Higher" to Grace Jones’ iconic "Slave to the Rhythm", and Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson’s "From South Africa to South Carolina", we give them their due shine.
The celebration continues with nods to Sade’s "Promise", Genius/GZA’s Wu classic "Liquid Swords", and The Pharcyde’s "Labcabincalifornia" - albums marking 40 and 30 year milestones that still resonate with massive influence. Alongside these landmark releases, the Swap muppets round out the programme with jazz-fusion gems, soulful rarities, Brazilian rhythms, and the rest. Press the button.
It's hump day, so Rosetta and Milly have an absolutely stacked show for you lined up! E whai ake nei, coming up on the show: What's Up with Barbara Edmonds, Auckland Pride chats with Buckwheat, and a kōrero with Mikey Havoc about the Push Push reunion. Plus, we announce the bRave!! Whakarongo mai nei.
This week the Swap Meet opened with recent gear from Benny Sings, Larry June, Moonchild, Mike, DoomCannon, Jenevieve among others. We tipped the hat to Bob Power, the legendary engineer who passed this week, so we marked the occasion with ATCQ and Roots tunes that set the bar. If you don't know what Bob Power did for hip-hop and soul read the internet until you do.
From there things got loose in the best way: rare soul, boogie, Gary Clail/On-U, Millie Jackson talking about her fireplace, afrobeat cuts, hip-house, and a stretch of late-night Philly and Detroit flavours via Vikter Duplaix and Wajeed. Laura Nyro supplied the dollar bin jam from her Golden Jubilee minted record "Smile", Gladys Knight, and Kurt Elling with the WDR Big Band sending everyone home feeling like they'd been somewhere worth going. Good show. Glad you're listening back - big up yourself.
Happy Rāmere! E whai ake nei, coming up on your Breakfast show with Rosetta and Milly; Travelling Tunes with Kirsten Zemke, Parakuihi Pals with RDU, and From The Crate with Cam from Southbound! Whakarongo mai nei!
