Another week and we've got more bangin' new music to share with you. Sarah talks us through some of her picks from the bFM playlist, featuring Jazmine Mary's Dancer, Matthew E. White & Lonnie Holley's This Here Jungle of Moderness / Composition 14, and Palberta's In Again.
Over the past decade, Skymning has released a steady stream of dense textural electronic music. This music has evolved from pockets of ambience created in hometown Te Whanganui-a-Tara to sharper dance-oriented breakbeats informed by years digging though record stores in London. Next Friday, he unveils his largest body of work - RELENTLESS - via Bankrupt Worldwide. We celebrate this release on Friendly Potential Radio tonight with a mix full of low-end pressure and unreleased compositions.

cloud ribbon is a new exhibition by Kathryn Tsui at Object Space.
Kathryn is a textile based artist who currently lives in Tairua in the Coromandel Peninsula.
In beaded compositions and woven wall-hangings, cloud ribbon explores Kathryn’s own cultural heritage and craft practice by reflecting on intersections of Asian and European cultural histories.
Sofia spoke with Kathryn about the show and some of the research that went into it.
Tuva'a talks to Sam V, one of the judges for the 2024 Stand Up Stand Out(SUSO) initiative established by Auckland Council initiative, in partnership with Auckland Live, Rockshop and Auckland UNESCO City of Music. SUSO provides pathways for rangatahi across the Tāmaki Makaurau region to develop their skills in music and dance composition and performance. Whakarongo mai nei!
Séraphine Pick is one of Aotearoa’s most celebrated painters, with a career spanning 30 years in which Pick investigates human experience through the material language of paint.
Her paintings circulate this tension between figuration and its collapse, often bringing the figure forth into her ethereal compositions and then dissolving them back into themselves.
This new body of work presented within Paintingscontinues Pick's exploration of material dissolution and figural density, displaying a rich navigation of material applications. Each work leans into its own materiality, some soft and delicate, while others thick and textural. An act of deep listening and responding to the paintings themselves, with pic circling back to former ways of making through a new lens.
Maya had a kōrero with Séraphine about the show and overall practice.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: A big bowl of some good music for Breakie this morning; with a dash of The Mind Trench with Rob Bollix bringing us some hot takes on ~art~ and stuff about outta space; plus Peter Ruddell pops up to talk about Sulfate, his new solo project that's taking the airwaves by storm. Nothing like some good tunes to clear up a foggy morning.
Big data is becoming increasingly more prevalent and contentious in contemporary society - almost anybody can access mass analytics and information data about almost anything put on the internet (if they know where to look). A panel event tomorrow night at AUT is taking a critical look at this phenomenon, intending to discuss the impacts that big data can have on policy making and businesses in the coming years. Producer Will spoke to panel host Rod Oram ahead of tomorrow night.
