It was an ongoing frustration and the continued dumbing down of electronic music within the Auckland scene that naturally brought two of New Zealands most experienced practitioners Greg Churchill and Nick Collings together to curate and host the first ever electronic music show on Radio Hauraki.

Why Radio Hauraki?

Hauraki is the original pirate radio station born on Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf in 1966. 

"Overseas dance culture on the airwaves began through illegal (pirate) broadcast as a necessity to get the music and event information out, as standard radio at the time never took the movement seriously. I love the idea of staying true to those beginnings yet embracing modern technology and Hauraki serves as a platform without compromise to implement those ideals of first and foremost being in it for the love (kicks) and being able to express that weekly to a wider audience" says Nick.

Why a radio show?

"It makes sense as we have grown up physically and musically with our audience. They aren't all people who want to spend every weekend in a club but still love to be involved in the culture and that's what we provide. I spent 11 years with some form of radio show and love that every week is different. I am a total music nerd and the opportunity to show that off is something I live for" says Nick.
