Ep. 270 w/ a Teeth Clippers Takeover, with mixes from Emanuel and Cal.Ske.
Emanuel got a schooling in sound-system culture while living in London for two years. On his return home to Pōneke, he founded Teethclippers via a residency at Club 121. Now, with the release of the Don't Bite Your Tongue compilation, the project has grown into a fully-fledged label as well. That compilation features 14 tracks by key NZ producers like Eden Burns, KÉDU CARLÖ, Azure, and Peach Milk, with all proceeds to the Mental Health Foundation. Tonight, Emanuel channels the energy of postponed nights into a heavy, heavy mix. After that, Tāmaki DJ and future TC guest Cal.Ske (Glass Half Full) weaves his way from house through dubstep to footwork. Hit that bass boost button bb.

Tonight, we air an almost experimental mix where Kristin explores a few different themes and then mashes it together. It will be an unmissable two hours.
