Featuring the weekly catchup for all things cinematic with Steve Newall on Flicks'n'That and What's Cooking with saxophonist Nathan Haines ahead of his show at The Powerstation this Rāhoroi. Thanks to The Beer Spot!
Featuring David Slack on Political Commentary, a special 95bFM announcement that legendary influential Punk rockers The Saints are playing at the Powerstation this Halloween, an interview with Buzz Moller of Voom about the just-announced forthcoming album Something Good Is Happening, and a chat with Tee – the organiser of this Saturday's bike rave on Māngere Bridge in collaboration with Auckland Transport Streets For People programme.
Rosetta and Nick chat to Dave Borrie of Ōtepoti band L. Hotel about their latest single Dead Ends and on Audio Culture, Gareth Shute revisits the wide-spanning career and music of Stanley Manthyngand Fatal Jelly Space, as well as the newly launched NZ On Screen Rainbow Collection.
This week on The Swap Meet, we’re joined by Leon D, probably the busiest DJ in town. His selections were the perfect soundtrack to a warm Auckland evening — from Theo Parrish’s rework of Jill Scott’s “Slowly Surely” to the Stepney classic “I Am the Black Gold of the Sun”, Barry White, Metro Area and ESG, tracing a line through dusty disco, boogie and proto-house.
Earlier, a quiet salute to D’Angelo: deep cuts like “Really Love” (Questlove leak), RH Factor’s “I’ll Stay”, and Don-E’s “So Cold”. Leon closes with Moodymann, Recloose, and his own “Your Love” — love and lost groove intact.
