With the release of ‘Finally’ in 2016 Peach Milk began as a live act with a focus on immersive, ethereal dance music. After a string of live hardware shows played throughout New Zealand, the focus of the project has shifted more towards producing and DJing. Her Dj sets display broad influences, ranging from the dreamy and relaxed areas of House music to driving, percussive Techno and everything in between. Peach Milk is a project that continues to shift and transcend labels or mediums
Blind Mango Chutney rejoices once more in the 60-year legacy of Impulse! Records, curates a classy cluster of NZ jazz releases and remembers Philly guitarist Pat Martino.

This is another of our weekly segments, where Producer Alex will speak with the Deputy Leader of the ACT Party, Brooke van Velden, discussing the hot political topics of today and tomorrow and how one of our most important minor parties feels about them.

Footprint is a collection of art submitted by the community of Titirangi. The artworks encourage dialogue about the future and what we’d like to leave to the next generation.
Beth caught up with the co-directors of the Upstairs Art Gallery, Carlos Toalii and Tatiana Harper, about Footprint and how the art comments on the sustainability of art and our way of living.
The exhibition opened on the 23rd of February and closes on the 17th of March. You can catch it at the Upstairs Art Gallery at Lopdell House in Titirangi.
