Rachel's away on holiday for the week and our first guest-host joining Zoë in the studio is the wonderful David Feauai-Afaese Vaeafe (LEAO, Noa Records)! Whakarongo mai nei to hear what David's been listening to, as well as Zoë's kōrero with Elliott Dawson about new album Hang Low, Loose Reads with Suri, and A Room Of One's Own with Salene!
Almost 500 pilot whales stranded on the beach of the Chatham Islands on Friday and Monday in two separate mass stranding incidents just days apart. Many of the whales could not be refloated due to the active shark risk to the animals and the rescuers in the region.
For more on mass whale strandings, and whether it’s a common occurrence, Christina spoke to Professor Karen Stockin, a marine ecologist at Massey University.
Tinnies to the ready mi amigos for a crash course in all things Shane Embury...literally! This weeks shows only gone and donned itself as a bloody pub quiz, 'ripper'! Get to know the three heckkkkkkkah magnifico bands playing at most likely THE best gig at our home away from home, The Kings Arms, before she closes her doors and becomes yet ANOTHER set of wanky offices and apartments for smug, trust fund, yuppie scooooooom.
The rules are very simple,
- If you get a question correct you have a drink
- If you get a question wrong you have a double drink
- If I say 'Is that someone at the door?' on a decent blast beat you drink
- If SOMEONE PLAYING AT HOME says 'Is that someone at the door?' at any moment throughout the game everyone has to finish their vessels.
DRINK RESPONSIBLY! GO OUT SAFE! GET HOME SAFE! HAVE FUN!

Fukumodo couldn't call up Tyler Baikie - so, as a treat, a new friend is being introduced to the show! They were also suggested some tracks for future episodes from the Matakana Garage - and we travel back to 2003 and listen to a couple of tracks from Scribe at the bNet Awards.
Outsider Music takes us to the Royal Albert Hall where Portsmouth Sinfonia (including Brian Eno) performed live in 1974 and we hear tracks from the one and only Grim Fandango OST.
Our guest in Hour 1 is Vester Koza ahead of his debut album 'Loader Mither' coming out on Houndstooth in November. In 2013 he released a string of self-released EP's which gained widespread critical acclaim and in 2016 Koza signed to fabric's Houndstooth Label, beginning with the OTR EP. Unlike his previous EPs where he first found his voice, 'Loader Mither' was conceived of and completed as a single project, and its coherence adds to its emotional kick. His mix includes tracks from Autechre, Chynna, Luna-C, Drexciya, The Human League and Bochum Welt.
In Hour 2 it's Imrie Kiss who has been spearheading the renaissance of electronic music in Hungary since his acclaimed debut album Midnight Wave back in 2013. The last few years have been particularly fruitful for the Lobster Theremin affiliate: opening the country’s first Boiler Room; launching Crisis Sound System with Aiwa and S. Olbricht; holding a residency at Budapest’s infamous LÄRM; releasing a string of remixes and releases for various imprints; and taking his unique sound to world-renowned clubs such as Panorama Bar, Culture Box and Corsica Studios. He told us;
“Recorded on a rainy day in my apartment in Budapest, this is a slow-burning mix, a journey through trippy breakbeat and electro with hints of italo. Best enjoyed on a hazy night with a few glasses of wine.”

A distinctly un-well adjusted mob of musical miscreants and tonal troubadors crowded together with all the subtlety of a lethargically raging bison ....ouch!
