It’s a dreary drizzly afternoon out in Tāmaki Makaurau so cuddle up to your radio for the warming power of funk and soul music. This week joining myself and other funky uncle @kirkjames13 is Éire’s own Aideen Ryan, treating us to some Modern Soul, Disco, Afro Boogie, into the Burger Highlife. We will also spin a few for the recently departed bass god Michael Henderson. @95bfm Ears on!
NZDST 23/24 is history and winter is coming! It's the birthday of Billie Holiday, Freddie Hubbard and John Oates, and we celebrate album anniversaries for One Way, Dennis Edwards, Dr. John, Willie Hutch, and Spektrum, as well as spinning the usual disco, boogie, hip-hop, jazz, Laurel Canyon, Casio MT-40 ragga, modern soul, electro bollocks.
