Blind Mango Chutney is taking an enforced break this week (get well soon Blind Mango!) so stepping in to take you on a jazz trip this Sunday is Sperber Dan, with a little this and that, and a lot of crossover jazz.
Joining him in the studio is Taylor Griffin ahead of his gig on Saturday at Ponsonby Social Club. He talks about and plays his inspirations, and introduces us to his forthcoming (second) album.
And all sponsored by the great San Ray Restaurant on Ponsonby Rd.
Dreamy tracks from Fazerdaze, Bjork, Hanbee and Ethel Cain. Today Emma's joined by Zoe Walker Ahwa, editor and co-founder of Ensemble (which is celebrating its fifth birthday) and the two chat about the magic of indie media in Aotearoa.
The first of a special, and somewhat spontaneous, Tāmaki Makaurau two-parter, this week's show sees Emma talking to Greatsouth's Payton Taplin about how his music is informed by the past and present of where he lives (and why he wouldn't want to be anywhere else). On the theme of Auckland, there's also early listens to Babe Martin's 'April in the City' and Dick Move's 'Up the Bus', plus tracks from The Front Lawn, Sisters Underground, P.H.F, 3 The Hard Way, Elemeno P and more. Tune in next week for part two (including Die! Die! Die! and The Androids).
This morning glory we kicked off with some good ol guitar based tunes in preparation for this weeks Fancy New Band Model who smashed out a incredible set. After Fancy New Band the show eased into a cluster of different sounds to suit everyones friday feels. brought to you by NZ On Air.
