Real people recordings. Art Brut. Disabled, neurodiverse & exquisite. Folk music cos its made by folks. Communities, ceremonies & field recordings. The unconventional, traditional & glorious ordinary.
After the usual festive period akl ghost town we're back in full effect! It's always nice to have the office open and buzzing when I hit the studio. We started with some b2b David Holmes brilliance incl. what is now a bonafied bFM banger remix by Andrew Weatherall (RIP). As per we travelled the world touching down in
São Paulo with Ana CMP, Los Angeles via Jeffrey Paradise, London (?) via NoTenshun and of course plenty of aces from Aotearoa!
Top shelf new releases are coming at us thick and fast and we are absolutely here for it! Noda & Wolfers, societeetrange, Elijah Minnelli, Birds and Arp Frique & The Perpetual Singers were just a few of the fresh faves we aired. Don't worry though, there are plenty of bonafied bFM bangers sprinkled throughout as well!
Back after several weeks away, the listeners didn't fail to deliver! We gave away a double pass to The Weed Eaters and I asked that you text in your favourite nickname for marijuana / cannabis. The winning answer was "Bethalls Bender." Shout out to Te Henga. We got local and I love that!
We played some favourite recent releases incl. tunes from Devon Rexi & John T. Gast, Alter Echo & E3, Elijah Minnelli and Kiki Hitoma, Niev, Rizamagic and Esaïa to name just a handful!
Thanks to all who took the helm while I was away. You da best!
