This month will mark five years since my sister and I lost our very talented & charismatic father. These past weeks I have dedicated to going through his record collection, a lot of which consists of his greatest influences. This is a recording for him, somewhat a tribute mix. 

Please note that these records were birthed in a time long before I was in the picture, so forgive the imperfections. I personally love the effect that honourable use has had on this selection. Working on this has brought great euphoria & peace to me during this time, so I want to share with you.x I hope it brings an opportunity for you to listen to something from, what feels like, simpler times. Please enjoy - perhaps with over a glass of vino with your own papa.

D's LoveDay Mixtape: Part3

Effective Listening w/ DJ Jazz Cigarette - October 15th 2023

November brings us a second Christoph El Truento mix in a row! This time with a freshly recorded show, its interesting to hear how his taste has developed between the two.

Christoph has been a staple in the Aotearoa music scene for many years with a extremely wide range of sounds and styles moving through him. With a new Jazz album just released & a Dub LP just about to drop- it can be hard keeping up with such amazing artistry.

Keep your ears open for his new releases, they are not to be missed. Enjoy this mix of some of his favorite records of late.

The Midday Mix - HALFQUEEN

Since the dawn of humankind, we've revered, worshipped, and mythologised The Sun. As one of the most enduring and essential features of our world, it's little wonder why songwriters and musicians sing its praise time and time over.

To celebrate another South Pacific summer and pay tribute to The Most Bright, please enjoy a few of my favourites :^)
