Sperber Dan ducks to Brazil, hits new music from Wales and Aotearoa and checks out deep cuts and fresh sounds from Auckland’s live movers and shakers, then wraps up with some clap-alongs from Kenny Garrett and Monty Alexander.
Frances Chan delves into the Gilles Peterson universe ahead of his gig in Auckland on 14 Nov with studio guest Nathan Graves, JazzAuckland promoter and ex-Universal UK exec who regales with tales of Gilles and various acts on his record labels. Plus, we remember Jack DeJohnette and D’Angelo and a selection of classic vinyl and new releases.
Welcome to the sophomore show! It came around damn fast and not without mishaps. This week I forgot my Laptop, but it was hand delivered to me by a beautiful angel (thanks George!). We listened to a muddle of old and new including some Kpop backingtrack and a bouncy, sparkly instrumenal cover of Alice Deejay's Better off Alone. The fruit of Dreams <3. I also figured out my sound levels are all weird...better luck next time SUCKER. Thnx for listening peeps!
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.
New songs from Drugdealer, Wye Oak, Lion Dixon, Angelic Milk, Weyes Blood, Suzi Analogue, Long Distance Runner, and a track from Ratso featuring the one and only Nick Cave. Then later in the show we hear from Dunedin group Fazed On A Pony for the Long Player!
