He namu pea ahau // Perhaps I'll be a sandfly.

The talented Mr Tom Lark popped in to discuss his new tune ‘Sun’s Up’ and boy is it a groover. The whole of k road was bobbing to this one.

Playing some chill tunes for your Monday Morning

A Special Thanks to The Tuning Fork!

The Resurrection Punk Show rides again: this week features special guest Wastemaster AKA Andrew Boak for two hours of musical mayhem and disorderly behaviour.

This week's show featured new music from Dinner Party, Jungle, the Womack Sisters and more. 

Plato's Retreat welcomes star of screens big and small, 95bFM alumni, and all-around good fellow Joel Tobeck as a special guest co-host!! Plato's Retreat is supported by the power of Hallertau.

This week on Sages of the Ages the magic spell has gone a little wrong, rendering the show temporarily sageless (though as always, ageless). After our wizards' triumphant return they bring you the hottest on January 6th, Alex's lackluster movie catalogue, and the biggest supply chain disruption in history! They also bring you fresh new tracks from the likes of Magdalena Bay, Genesis Owusu, and Carnivorous Plant Society. See you in 1995!

Whakarongo mai!

Elle spoke to Romi Wrights and Kenny Sterling, about their debut album Andy. Dedicated to the life of Romi’s close friend Andrea Orani, the album ruminates on the permanence of her loss and lovingly embraces their relationship and the time they shared. Imbued with Andy’s spirit, the album shimmers amongst the broad piano, woodwind and strings which cascade from track-to-track.

Embedded within Romi’s quintessential soul and jazz-fusion band, her voice unabashedly tells the universally felt narrative of love and heartbreak. It’s truly music that uplifts, inspires and just might make you cry.

You can find Andy on bandcamp.
