Lord, I cannot wait a single moment more…

nuck-caveToday’s episode features seven insights from Nicholas Edward Cave for us to reflect upon.

If these seven psalms get too heavy for you there’s lots of relief for you in the form of new cuts from Ben Woods, Fazerdaze, Motte, the legendary Dr Hitchcock, and many more.

The Show: Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus

Fraserhead is tripping out on milo‘s “galahad in goosedown (fiat iustitia et pereat mundus)”. The most perfect beats and nuttiest most truthful lyrics of 2018. Tip of the hat to the legendary Trevor Jackson.

‘If life were a dream of euphoria
We would not have schizophrenia or paranoia’

The Show: Christchurch – Ōtautahi 2017… the year in review

Today it’s a review of the year in music from Christchurch – Ōtautahi featuring some of our favourite releases throughout 2017.

We couldn’t quite fit them all in, some may not strictly have been made in “Christchurch”, and there are some tracks that were produced earlier than 2017 but only saw the light of this day this year, but we’re sure you get the gist.

And because we like to get a bit OCD on it – and also to avoid ranking art – the setlist features the artists in chronological order of track release…
