Ep 262 with Sister Rosa and Aideen Ryan.

Sister Rosa grew up surrounded by music. Her sets are purposeful and uplifting, and have seen her tapped to play with Marcellus Pittman and at some of the most soulful parties around New Zealand. She gifts us with one hour of roots music from across the globe.

After that, we get upbeat with Irish-born selector Aideen Ryan. Aideen is an avid record collector, who takes inspiration from genre-diverse champions like Andrew Weatherall and Gilles Peterson. She shares an uptempo hour that traverses disco, modern soul, and classic house, and includes recent finds from The Other Crate Record Fair.

Ep. 260 with Fantasy Fiction Records.

We kick off with Pink and White Terraces, the project of NZ-via-Berlin artist PAWS+ (Aporia, The Tarts).

Ep. 257 with HTRK and Orchestra of Spheres

In the first half, we hear from HTRK. Jonnine and Nigel have brought together a textured little escape, at moments filled with bliss, and at others with some unease. We've been trying to get them on the FPR almost since its inception, and are rapt that it has finally happened.
After that, we travel back to Saturday October 31st 2020, when Orchestra of Spheres took the stage at the third edition of Catacombs. Relive the madness, or get lost in it for the first time.

Auckland trio Grecco Romank release their album Red Tower as a download, cassette, and exclusive perfume. The album was created in the South Island, written in a farmhouse during lockdown and recorded at an abandoned primary school during lambing season. We celebrate the release with a heartfelt journey through lost New Beat, one hit wonders, and Aotearoa avant garde, peppered throughout with recordings of riots and office arguments.
