Part I of my '2018 Faves' show. I'm into my 10th year on bFM and it doesn't get any easier narrowing them down. When people say "music's not like it used to be" it's because their ears aren't tuned like yours. Yours are perfect.
π Hi lovelies have a wee-gaze at the setlist. Today's show features the first mini-mix dance music extravaganza from 2:20 pm - 2:40 pm house/techno/garage/stuff.
Open your ears for 3 hours of genre-free music. New cuts from James K, Mitski, JamieBranch, and Calibre. Some Congolese guitar in the shape of Vumbi Dekula. And a plethora of alternative classics scattered throughout: The Flaming Lips, Animal Collective, The Cure etc.
I also steal song of the week Hak Baker - Venezuela Riddim from Aneeka.
A seriously fun show. Thank you angels for all the love and support. See you next week where I look to keep the 20-minute dance music thing going.
π Happy NZ Music Month angels. This week's show sees plenty of new music (unreleased Caru even) and older hidden gems, from Joni Mitchell to Libyanand Nigerian Funk to Dubstep to Shoegaze and all inbetween this show goes deep and wide! We also pay tribute with some listener requests to the late great MC Conrad who sadly passed on Tuesday.
Our Obtuse Track of the Week sees a wobbly Alix Perez number. And Live before the Entertainment Guide picks out a Talking Heads classic.
Thank you to all who texted in for the gorgeous Steinlager chilly bin and congrats to Kelsey for taking out the W.
I'll hopefully see some of you at Fancy New Band tonight (Friday 3rd May, 2024). If not, same time next week!
As always, here lives the show spotify playlist that updates weekly in order of the tracks featured on the show (those that are available ofcourse). π
This week's show featured new music from The Voidz, Jamie xx, The WAEVE and more. Sam also takes a look at the reissue of Dam Native's classic album Kaupapa Driven Rhymes Uplifted.
