Tonight's show was actually entirely curated by bFM's own Samuel Harmony, who sent Oto and Jaycee, not just a playlist, but a stack of CDs and Casettes that he collected while he was in Indonesia as part of the New Zealand Delegation attending AXEAN Festival 2025. Whakarongo mai to experience 2 hours of Psych rock, folk, disco and more by Southeast-Asian artists playing at the festival!
Oto and Jaycee talked to bad for education about his new single - 'Close My Eyes,' and played 2 hours of Surf Rock, Indie and Grunge by independent artists from the Asian diaspora.
Last week it was announced that Auckland is now a UNESCO city of music, joining the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. The Creative Cities Network was started in 2004 to promote social, economic and cultural development among cities who have identified creativity as a strategic factor and enabler for sustainable urban development. Auckland will join the 180 members from 72 countries around the world covering seven creative fields and becomes just the 31st city of music. Sam Smith spoke to Recorded Music NZ’s Mark Roach about the news and what it means for the local music scene.

And talks winter fruit; Troy's got a special selection from Record Industry in Holland; and Amelia comes in to say the Queen has lost her crown in the Top Ten recap.
This week on the biggest show on the radio: a suitably chaotic start to the show as Annabel runs 20 minutes late, but we definitely make up for lost time! We count down the biggest songs of the week, as well as music from Snowy, Panda Bear, Tanukichan and Louis Cole!
