Kia ora goregous creatures 💚 Today's show sees us open with a tribute to CAN's Damo Suzuki who passed this month. We then move through a plethora of new music from a wide range of genres. Although this show might be slightly more dance-forward as it is bRave week after all - grab a last minute ticket if they're still available!
Dub flavours are covered with new music from Devon Rexi, Nyquist, and an old favourite from Mala. New music from indie-darlings MGMT andVampire Weekend also features. We also sneak a few Thursday 1-4 favourties via La Caution and Cheb i Sabbah to keep all happy.
We're celebrating album anniversaries by @AlGreen "Explores Your Mind", @IAmCandiStaton "Candi", @SantanaCarlos "Borboletta" (all 50 years); Apollonia 6's LP, @ChakaKhan "I Feel For You" (both 40 years); @Common "Resurrection" (30 years); + Tha Feelstyle "Break it to Pieces" and @WeAreDeLaSoul "The Grind Date" clocking (20 years). We have local producer DJ Submariner (AKA Andy Morton) thru to the studio to talk about the creation of the Feelstyle record. Mauri Ora!
This week on the show Mr Campbell Ngata takes to the booth with dusty fingers and a crick in his neck after a serious dig through the Real Groovy sale bins. Expect a prime stack of low-cost, high-quality heat - soul, gospel, fusion, disco rap, boogie and jazz, all served up on crackly wax.
