In last Saturdays stream of 'The Green Room' on RDU 98.5fm, Aotearoa underground icon SHANKARA (NZ) Joins hosts SANO & DISK JUNKY to perform a full spectrum LIVE set through the local airwaves.  Tune in from the start to hear a b2b session with the hosts, followed by SHANKARA taking the reigns half way through the stream. 

// SHANKARA (NZ)

Brendan and Elijah aka Shankara NZ have been making music together with an 
undeniable passion for over a decade, experimenting with sonic creations 
together since they first met in high school. Their shared passion for music has 
seen them pre-forming in Australia, the USA and regularly at some of 
Aotearoa’s premier outdoor festivals. 
Producing with a melodic, organic and bass heavy style, the duo’s sounds span 
across a wide variety of bass music and all things dub with notable influences 
from dubstep, jungle, techno and chillout.

The Green Room ft. SHANKARA (NZ), Hosted by DISC JUNKY & SANO // 04.03.23

BERIMBAU MAFIOSO - DJ DELAZARI

mRas Nitzi, Bulgarian for “filthy people”, is a DJ project that walks the line between the staunch, the sexy and the strange.
Eve has been slaying dance floors at Australian festivals, clubs and renegades for years.
Predicting these sets is as futile as resisting enjoyment. 
So strap yourself in and get yourself a dose of mRas Nitzi, you filthy, filthy people.

Upcoming gigs:....
