In Hour 1 we're joined by San Proper who has released music on Rush Hour, Dekmantel, Perlon, Church and many others. The music he makes is always idiosyncratic from his earliest 12”s right up to his debut album. He had this to say about his mix;
"Being schooled by crazy groundbreaking artists like Aphex Twin, Mille Plateau and Jeff Mills in the mid 90s, the music by Coldcut, Dj Food, Vadim and Dj Krush actually felt more inspirational, because of the Funk, Triphop & B-boy-Jazz which was preserved by Ninja Tune, therefore it is more than a sentimental honor to boomerang it with a mix for Solid Steel. This right here, my mix, is the after-effect of a mid-90s-Youngblood-Dj trying to put his foot down. Proud to be able to work this mix 20 years later... I am a Ninja Toon.
One love. San."
In Hour 2 it's Tin Man who is of Finnish descent, but born and raised in California and now has a home in Vienna, a town perfectly suited to his deep and moody productions. TIN MAN has acclaimed releases on the Finnish record label Sähkö / Keys of Life, Cheap Records from Vienna, and continues with new releases on his own imprint, Global A . While TIN MAN's output is diverse in its references, certain underpinnings can be heard throughout. There is always a strong reference to Acid House music, as well as a strong reference to Ambient and Electronic Pop music from the past 30 years. He told us;
"Here is my mix. Its on the acid tripping side of deep techno with some soft bookends.”
Reporter Oscar Perress spoke to Ellie Craft of Women in Urbanism about how we can design our cities to better suit the needs of all, especially those who are underrepresented in the professional structures charged with upgrading Auckland and other cities across Aotearoa.
This week saw controversy sparked out of the Nelson Santa Parade when a Non-Traditional Santa was represented this year.
This year’s Santa wore a red korowai, held a taiaha and was Maori.
People from Nelson having a variety of opinions, some said that Santa has always been a jolly white man in a red suit and it was distressing for children to be confronted with this representation. The comment section around these stories left space for many to leave racist remarks resulting in the comment sections being disabled for a stuff article on the topic. The Nelson Deputy mayor Paul Matheson also remarked that he found the commentary on the matter to be “ quite sick”.
Nelson Council’s decision for this year’s Santa also received a great deal of support for leaning into multiculturalism, and giving the space for Maori representation in what is typically an eurocentric image.
Therapeutic Care Worker, Jordan Henare who works with children and youth in New Zealand joined Laura Kvigstad to discuss what the it meant to see Maori representation in an image that is dominated by European ideals.
Social media as it exists currently is an oligopoly, with a handful of private companies controlling the structure and use of the platforms which mediate our communication not only with one another, but also with the public sphere. As these companies continue to amass considerable power, some have argued they are not suited for the great responsibility that comes with great power. Instead, they argue social media should be in the hands of democratic institutions.
Dr Sander Zwanenburg, an Information Science Lecturer at the University of Otago, is one such proponent of this view. Hanna spoke to him about the scale and scope of social media issues under private ownership, how things might look different under an alternative model, and whether such a transition is even possible.
Now that Auckland is in the red setting, Auckland Transport is having to adapt their public transport services to suit the new restrictions with reinstated metro night bus services, increased capacity on individual vehicles and timetables remaining reduced due to fewer people using public transport over summer.
News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to Stacey van der Putten, Group Manager of Metro Services at Auckland Transport, about how lockdown has impacted public transport in Auckland. They discuss moving to the new red setting and keeping people safe with Covid-19 remaining a community threat.
This morning on RNZ's Morning Report, Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said that Aotearoa’s traffic light system is less suited to the Omicron variant than the Delta variant and will need to be adjusted. News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to Dr David Welch, a virus mutation expert at the University of Auckland, about what these adjustments may be and why they are necessary. Also, as the government is set to announce any changes to the public health repsonse in the coming weeks Jemima asks Dr Welch whether "weeks" is too long to wait to prepare for a major community outbreak of Omicron in Aotearoa.
Yesterday the honourable Megan Woods, Minister of Energy and Resources announced the third round of the Government Investment in Decarbonising Industry Fund will provide $13 million to 15 businesses to help them move away from fossil fuels.
