Navakatoa Tekela-Pule is a multi-disciplinary artist and musician. We had a kōrero about his diverse musical projects, and particularly his involvement with NOA Records, who support artistic practitioners based geo-spiritually within Aotearoa, Te Moana Nui a Kiwa (Pacific Ocean) and further beyond

We talked about Nava’s creative journey and how his extraordinarily creative parents have influenced the way he sees the world.

We then went on to talk about what’s emerging on the horizon in the Tāmaki Makaurau music community, what to keep an eye out for, and our shared excitement about what’s happening across the different cultural hubs of Aotearoa.

What a wonderful person. :)


Shout out to Cory and Leo for helping revive some of these Lo-fi recordings and teaching me how to edit sound.

The Magic Current: Kōrero with Navakatoa Tekela-Pule

Kia ora, This is a mix I recently recorded for DWS festival submission. It's a mix of a few different genres starting off with halftime drum and bass/jungle and slows down into some breaks and dubs.  The mix ranges between 170-130bpm and is full of tunes I've been enjoying over the last few months. Hope you enjoy.. chur :)
