t-woc is a deejay and producer from Wicklow, Ireland. For the past fifteen years, his kaleidoscopic soundsystem excursions have been shared on AllCity, Macadam Mambo, Rudimentary Records, and via repeat entries on DJ soFa's essential Elsewhere compilation series. His latest effort, Pantangle, was released in June on Longboss's Wellington-based label Strangelove Music. In celebration, Mick shares an hour of blood and fire. FP DJ Sam Harmony gets dubwise in the second hour.
Tāmaki creatives D.Arts and Jane Olsen have an unwavering commitment to the best music around. For Damon Arts, this is demonstrated via his longstanding immersion in Aotearoa's UK influenced bass scene. For Jane, it is through her Parks&Rec mix series, which focuses on easy tunes intended for the sunshine, the park, or the picnic rug. We are so excited that they are back home after five years ripping it up in Amsterdam. Expect an effervescent two hours of music, as D.Arts ramps things up, and Jane Olsen brings us back to earth.
DJ Voices is the moniker of Kristin Malossi.

Tonight, we air an almost experimental mix where Kristin explores a few different themes and then mashes it together. It will be an unmissable two hours.
