Brand new and so full of frightening fact it nigh-on serves as a charging document, Gibney, Harutyunyan & Hillinger's Totally Under Control interrogates the US response to Covid-19 and its devastating mistakes, deliberate mis-steps, and six-figure fatalities.
Filmed in secret over the past five months, with damning testimony from public health officials and hard investigative reporting, Rachel talks to the three directors about their quest to expose a system-wide collapse and a profound dereliction of Presidential leadership. Grunty, bleak, unmissable stuff - belt in.

We kick off with Pink and White Terraces, the project of NZ-via-Berlin artist PAWS+ (Aporia, The Tarts). Their first hour drips with Sehnsucht, as they dive into the influences behind their debut album. After that, we hear from Elfy, the moniker of Will Rattray (Full Moon Fiasco, Thought Creature, Cosmic Palms). Drift through an hour of kosmische house, in the vein of his recent contribution to the Zauberstab V.A. for Alicia Carrera's Lío Press.
Ep. 270 w/ a Teeth Clippers Takeover, with mixes from Emanuel and Cal.Ske.
Emanuel got a schooling in sound-system culture while living in London for two years. On his return home to Pōneke, he founded Teethclippers via a residency at Club 121. Now, with the release of the Don't Bite Your Tongue compilation, the project has grown into a fully-fledged label as well. That compilation features 14 tracks by key NZ producers like Eden Burns, KÉDU CARLÖ, Azure, and Peach Milk, with all proceeds to the Mental Health Foundation. Tonight, Emanuel channels the energy of postponed nights into a heavy, heavy mix. After that, Tāmaki DJ and future TC guest Cal.Ske (Glass Half Full) weaves his way from house through dubstep to footwork. Hit that bass boost button bb.
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.
