The Welder Man

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.

Impulso incontrolável, grito ao pé do abismo, sopro na brasa, queima, arde, vicia.
Prazer exagerado, tudo ao mesmo tempo, infinda melancolia. 
Desespero pleno, silenciosa gritaria...

Cook + Game designer & Beats Seeker. 
Maison close pour beats.
