For her final time hosting Friday Morning Glory, Lucia plays a bunch of vinyl with a psychedelic theme in preparation for the awesome Crying Ivy on Fancy New Band.
RIP to the legends @lalo_schifrin and Walter Scott of @themightywhispers who passed away in the last week or so - we dig into Lalo's back cat of CRIME JAZZ (tm) hour one including some our favourite tracks that use his tunes as sample sources, after that Kirk's goodies including a brand new track from local jazzy house crew @after_ours_official, a salute to Walter Scott, and some birthday tunes for the great Phyllis Hyman.
Hour three we had a super special pre-release listen (in the company of the excellent Kenny Sterling) to the Orbits LP from The Circling Sun (released Friday 11 July). Shit is incredible! They will be performing at the Karangahape Road branch of Flying Nun record store 3pm Saturday 12 July), and the record will be available in either limited edition green or classic black vinyl from all the best stores: Dusty Crates, Stack Records, Flying Nun, Flying Out, Southbound, Real Groovy, Marbecks, Ulo (Raglan) and or course on the Circling Sun bandcamp. Buy that!
Zambo is back on the sound waves with a sweetly soulful yet empowering selection of funk tunes. The Isley Brothers, Ann Sexton, Fela Kuti, Ella Fitzgerald and more sing about important things like love and hot pants.

A soundtrack for creative minds and those who spread gratitude in a resolute way.

Another hot summer's night in the stu with Glace. We kick things off with a lil dancehall coated rap venturing forth onto dusty boom bap beats with extended hypnotic blends ++
