Tonight's show was actually entirely curated by bFM's own Samuel Harmony, who sent Oto and Jaycee, not just a playlist, but a stack of CDs and Casettes that he collected while he was in Indonesia as part of the New Zealand Delegation attending AXEAN Festival 2025. Whakarongo mai to experience 2 hours of Psych rock, folk, disco and more by Southeast-Asian artists playing at the festival!
Oto and Jaycee talked to bad for education about his new single - 'Close My Eyes,' and played 2 hours of Surf Rock, Indie and Grunge by independent artists from the Asian diaspora.
Happy New Year and with that Walao starts off strong with Co-Host Jaycee showing us demos and his top plays and discoveries from 2025. From Hyperpop to experimental, what a treat!
Today on your bFM Breakfast: as Winston steps up, Dr. Bryce gives us the low-down; Troy wants to sway Mikey's feelings about sax - all the while discussing the important stuff a.k.a Crash Bandicoot or Sonic the Hedgehog; and, oh yeah, best wishes to the PM on this exciting day - Jacinda's in Labour! (sorry.)
Group culture is one of the most powerful forces on the planet and it starts with belonging - you are safe, you are valued. Safety is not mere emotional weather but rather the foundation on which strong culture is built. We are curious about what everybody has to say.

Pre-Mo Song of the Week: BODY BEAT RITUAL - Mortal Sin
New Zealand based EBM auteur Body Beat Ritual makes his debut on Bergerac with an incendiary EP of full throttle intense dark wave bangers. Growing up in North West England immersed in hardcore punk and rave culture led to musical experiments and Body Beat Ritual is his unique splicing of both aesthetics.

Artist Spotlight: Sex Judas feat. Ricky
We play four heaters from the new album 'Go Down Judas', released 18 May 2018 on Optimo Music. Playful, daft, sleazy boogie house and funk styles from Oslo via Glasgow. Norwegian producer Tore Gjedrem of Ost & Kjex fame, channels his love of comix, bohemia and fascination with human vice, the unspoken, the Red Light districts, the alleys of the mind into his alter ego.

The New Zealand Bar Association came out supporting the semi-automatic firearm ban. Council member of the association Josh McBride says what is needed now is immediate changes to the underlying legislation to ensure that all military specification assault rifles are prohibited, irrespective of their configuration or aesthetics. Josh has prepared a discussion paper and submission to the Government on behalf of the bar association saying assault rifles have no legitimate civilian use. Josh believes they should never have been allowed in to NZ. He believes previous legislation and regulations failed to adequately restrict the importation and sale of these types of rifles and ammunition, ones which are characterised by the use of intermediate cartridges to reduce recoil and enable rapid firing. Gautami Sithambaram spoke with Josh to find out more and started by asking how these semi-automatic weapons came to be in NZ in the first place.
