Drinks that are totally exclusive and being tasted for the first time* (*that's a maybe on this fact, please hold caller). But we welcome Renee of Boutique Connection back to the studio to taste these new drinks out.
Renee is back and so is Lewis from Sales (no longer at sales, btw) - the gang sample Moi Wines' 2021 Pet-Nat Grüner Veltliner and something else totally different!
We have Auckland Council General Manager of Waste Solutions, Parul Sood, live in the studio to talk about the new lil' green bins. We should totally bring back casseroles too.
Josh catches us up on the news off-planet, including a successful moon landing by Firefly Aerospace, the probability of an Asteroid impact in 2032 has dropped but it may hit the moon, and in more happy news a total lunar ecplipse will occur next Rāmere/Friday.
A new Senator’s maiden speech was so racist, Australia’s most prominent racist politician condemned it, the Australian government is tearing itself apart over a proposed energy plan, and the Australian bushfire season is here already, with out of control bushfires sparking around New South Wales this week.
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.”
