For this year's Aotearoa music special, we are joined by Tāmaki Makaurau based selector Oaariki. Oaariki is a deejay, broadcaster, and photographer, who helms ’The Stoop’ on Base FM. He is also well regarded for his annual mix of music from around the motu. This time, we are blessed to share his edition for 2022. 

From Oaariki: "May is the month we celebrate music made in Aotearoa. While the success of our local mainstream talent often attracts most of the limelight this time of year, it’s easy to forget there is an incredibly diverse range of artists making music under the commercial radar.
This eclectic mix assembles and blends a collection of underground gems in appreciation of those artists."
