Amamelia aka 95bFM alum Amelia Berry spoke with Chris Cudby about the newly launched Bananamelia! The Music Archive, a collaboration with The National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa — a project spearheaded by Michael Brown, author of Eyeliner's Buy Now (33 1/3 Oceania Series).
Winner of Te Manu Taki Tāhiko o te Tau (Best Electronic Artist) at the 2024 Aotearoa Music Awards and the inaugural SRN Award for Favourite Solo Act in 2021, Amamelia also chatted about her new single 'Theme From Living', from her forthcoming album The Joy Of Living, plus a brand new remix of Frau Knotz's 'Victory Dance on ZR3'.

Sunday the first of March: J & K are back on deck for The Swap Meet. Turns out it was a good day to be born - Oliver Sain, Willie Mitchell, Norman Connors and Harry Belafonte all blew out candles on this date, so naturally we pay our respects. We also took a moment to celebrate some fifty-year anniversaries: Dr Tree's landmark New Zealand fusion record, the Ohio Players' Contradiction, and Kool & The Gang's Love & Understanding all turning half a century old still killing. And we said farewell to Willie Colón, the South Bronx trombone legend who helped build salsa into what it is, gone this week at 75.
Fresh music from Mark de Clive-Lowe, Andrea Lombardini, Tommaso Cappelato and Larry June inside the jam too, alongside the usual gear for the weekly rummage. Press the button.
