95bFM Residency: The Big Fresh Collective host Florence Ferguson, aka Foxtrot.
Pōneke-born but Otautahi-based, Foxtrot began selecting tunes on RDU 98.5 FM. Capturing hearts (and ears), she was thrust onto CDJs; quickly gaining traction among the hard hitters of the underground ’03 scene.
A big lover of old-school trance, breakbeat, electro, and "crack-up bootlegs" she secured slots alongside some of finest local talent; Keepsakes, Texture, Liam K. Swiggs, & Ultraviolet.
Drawing influence from fun-loving techno DJs such as Anetha & VTSS, and letting Ōtautahi's heavy drum n bass scene seep through her sets, there really isn’t anything Foxtrot would shy away from.
Takunda and Aniket join Rachel and Sam in the studio to chat about being part of the series Rediscovering Aotearoa. Discussing decolonisation, Takunda's spoken word poetry in the Reo episode, and Aniket's medical education in the Hauora episode, as well as how watching this series impacted them. A moving and important watch.
After attending her first electronic music festival in early 2020, Lazy Daisy was born. When Covid first hit, most were stocking up on household necessities, however, for Daisy, this was when her love for the deep dance began.
From sets at Taniwhas Den, Twisted Frequency, and Tora Bombora, performances at your favourite venues around Pōneke and fortnightly sessions on Mouthfull Radio - her eclectic mixes have teased their way across the country. Setting out to create unforgettable experiences, expect refined selections, sensual treats and naughty beats.
This week, Sam takes a look at the 1999 classic from The Roots "Things Fall Apart." This album helped set the future blueprint for instrumentation in hip-hop and proved rap could be more than just sample-based.
