Mondays dishes out a hectic storm which neither Rachel nor Producer Zoë can stop going on about for the full three hours, Fashun, some Loose Reads, and some Red Dead Redemption. Whakarongo mai!
Well, it was bound to happen eventually... That’s right, in an historically undercooked episode, Annabel and Callum assembled the bare bones of a radio show around some incredible music to produce what some may call their Worst Show Ever. After an (as always) riveting call in from Jonathan Pearce, we kind of just got on with playing the best songs in the nation with little to nothing to report. No people’s pulpit, no whisky business… is this what you wanted? The Top Ten. That’s it.
In anticipation of the don Loefah returning to Aotearoa I play some bass-heavy faves on this show. Apologies also as certain tracks have not been showing up on the playlist - will add them in here:
💚 Hi lovelies have a wee-gaze at the setlist. Today's show features the first mini-mix dance music extravaganza from 2:20 pm - 2:40 pm house/techno/garage/stuff.
Open your ears for 3 hours of genre-free music. New cuts from James K, Mitski, JamieBranch, and Calibre. Some Congolese guitar in the shape of Vumbi Dekula. And a plethora of alternative classics scattered throughout: The Flaming Lips, Animal Collective, The Cure etc.
I also steal song of the week Hak Baker - Venezuela Riddim from Aneeka.
A seriously fun show. Thank you angels for all the love and support. See you next week where I look to keep the 20-minute dance music thing going.
💚 Happy NZ Music Month angels. This week's show sees plenty of new music (unreleased Caru even) and older hidden gems, from Joni Mitchell to Libyanand Nigerian Funk to Dubstep to Shoegaze and all inbetween this show goes deep and wide! We also pay tribute with some listener requests to the late great MC Conrad who sadly passed on Tuesday.
Our Obtuse Track of the Week sees a wobbly Alix Perez number. And Live before the Entertainment Guide picks out a Talking Heads classic.
Thank you to all who texted in for the gorgeous Steinlager chilly bin and congrats to Kelsey for taking out the W.
I'll hopefully see some of you at Fancy New Band tonight (Friday 3rd May, 2024). If not, same time next week!
As always, here lives the show spotify playlist that updates weekly in order of the tracks featured on the show (those that are available ofcourse). 💚
