Earlier today Producer Alex spoke with Auckland City Mission Manutaki Helen Robinson about how the ongoing Omicron outbreak and red light setting are impacting the homeless. Auckland City Mission have a range of services that cater to vulnerable, unhoused people in Auckland and the pandemic has led to them adapting their approach so that workers, volunteers and people seeking their services can remain safe.
Eli takes you through a stew's worth of musical ingredients. This bcast features a radio premier from Aotearoa producer Third Nature with their track Dreamstate Tūī. Apologies as the recording appears to cut off halfway through.
Another solid set from Def Jim as he covers the stylistic gamut from contemporary guitar composition to 70's extended jams with brief tributes thrown in to recently departed heroes Jeff Beck and Wayne Shorter.
Mindful that NZ Music Month is currently in progress, Def Jim delivers a mixed set of local and international content, the former focused on experimental luminaries Trioglodyte, the late Neill Duncan with Devils Gate Outfit and the late Murray McNabb, and the latter including an outstanding new release from John Zorn's New Masada Quartet plus sundry musical gems past and present.
