Friendly Potential Radio

Jefferson King and Samuel White are a b2b duo based in Tāmaki Makaurau. After spending years front left, the duo recently began to throw their own parties under the Arts and Crafts Collective banner. This includes intimate daytime gatherings called The Light Fantastic at one of the best sounding spaces in New Zealand - Lot 23. Sadly, the last two events have fallen over because *gestures broadly*. They fill the gap with an hour of shimmering and transportive home listening.

ajhoneysuckle is a Tainui/Samoan deejay based in Ōtautahi. Her sets centre nostalgic melodies, rhythmic breaks, and big basslines, and have quickly seen her get booked for some of the bigger parties across Aotearoa.

"This is an hour of tracks I keep heavy in my listening rotation and some freshness I've enjoyed finding in my spare time. Pulling together pieces by producers from all around the world including our very talented Aotearoa. I used this mix to present the darker elements of Drill, Grime, Dub, Hip-hop that I enjoy and finding a way to transition into a higher energy 2 step, breakbeat, UK Funky and Bass sound and feel."

Kaishandao is the moniker of Kristen Ng, a Wellington-born musician and producer currently based in Chengdu, China. She has been active in the Chinese underground music scene as an organiser and performer since 2015, running the online radio station cdcr.live and the touring label Kiwese, which has toured NZ artists through China such Orchestra of Spheres, The All Seeing Hand, WOMB, Strange Stains, Lady Lazer Light, Cave Circles, Alphabethead, Mr Sterile Assembly, and more. Her live hardware set has been featured on Boiler Room China and NTS Radio. This year, she self-released her debut EP 'Homeland,' followed by an extensive 20-date club tour of China, with plans for a New Zealand tour once travel restrictions ease in the future.

This DJ mix was recorded during a recent unexpected two-week hotel quarantine in Chengdu. Blending together the many moods of isolation, this quarantine mix shifts from slowburning melancholy to meditative rhythms, and lands with a medley of emotional bops to cry, laugh and dance.
