WHERE DID YOU VISUALISE YOURSELF WHEN PUTTING THIS MIX TOGETHER?
Wandering a vast alpine valley in the Southern Alps, beech leaves on the track, golden tussock on the flats, grey rocks in the river, and glaciers looming at the head of the valley.

FAVOURITE PARK BEVERAGE?
A well made dry heritage cider that doesn’t mind getting a little warm with some slow sipping.

SUMMER 23/24 ALBUM/JAM?
I just came across 2020's Flux and Contemplation by Simon Posford which is now in regular rotation for calming my mind. Not a jam per se, but a real absorbing journey.

SANDALS OR JANDALS?
Sandals for now, but when they finally lose contain, maybe jandals.

ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?
This mix ended up with a bittersweet melancholia about it. It feels like saying goodbye to a dear friend who’s going away for a long time.

Born a Kiwi but raised in the UK, Suno was brought up on a sultry diet of John Peel, Hip-hop and his Mother’s Motown collection. Buying and spinning since the heady-housey days of 1987 (remember those?) he has a wide taste for all things suitably nod-worthy; from deep disco basslines, Street Sounds electro and assorted 4/4 driven antics. 

Since returning to NZ in 2002 he has continued to follow his (somewhat) expensive passion for good music; with long-running shows on Wellington’s Radio Active; spreading sunshine at the Cuba Street Carnival and setting up Wellington’s long running 'Sundried' summer garden sessions.

Since the move to Auckland in 2007 he headed straight to BaseFM and was one half of the genre-juggernaut that was the 'Smashey & Nicey' show. He also set up the successful 'Jam' and 'Pickle' events nationwide with his long-time cohort Midi Waters. After that, continuing with the very successful weekly 'Third Ear' slot for eight years.

After finishing up at BaseFM in 2023, he has now set up his own online radio project 'Planet Sauce' which launches in March.
