It was the four o'clock roadblock this week, with in studio crew pulling up to the Swap Meet including: heavy collectors Campbell Ngata & Cassawarrior from Tairāwhiti, and also local hearoes Dylan Biscuit & Leon Aoki of Arcade Radio. We kicked off with two cuts from the unreleased Stevie Wonder EP that dropped this week marking 50 years of Songs in the Key of Life. The Mighty Sparrow's passing gets its due, and there's a first play of two tracks from Nathan Haines' new Soft Chaos album, "The Answer" and "Modulatea" getting an early airing ahead of release. From there the five of them more or less split off into their own territory, which makes for a set that moves around more than usual, soul and boogie rarities running alongside Brazilian and heavy West African that will put your Shazam on the fritz.  Good people and fine tunes for your earholes...

This week the show is brought to you by the don Campbell Ngata, broadcasting out of Gisborne/Tairāwhiti. As the 28th September 2026 marks a half century since Stevie Wonder's "Songs In the Key of Life" - which we need mark obviously! From there Boogie and post-disco rarities sit next to newer material from Paris Ford, Summer Vee and Another Taste, moving thru African funk and highlife heaters, K Frimpong and the Nkengas alongside a couple of Sun Ra and Marvin Peterson cuts that push things toward jazz for a while. For the second half he showcases Cymande, Ralph MacDonald, The O'Jays, Rufus & Chaka Khan before closing out with Funkadelic and a small clutch of contemporary tracks from Sault, Jeroboam and Aphrose. Press the damn button!

We selebrate anniversaries for Funkadelic Tales of Kidd Funkadelic, James Brown Gravity, DJ Shadow Entroducing, The Roots Illadelph Halflife and Jeru the Damaja Wrath of the Math (all landing on round numbers this year). Birthday boys Eric Gale and Eddie Bo get a spot in the mix, and newies including Dawuna and Ezra Collective. Campbell up next week - see u next month!

Kirk's back, fresh from 'The Other Crate Record Fair' the day before. This week we had 2 birthdays, Don Was & Gene Page both on the 13th, so played a few from them. Also this week marking 50 years since the 'Car Wash Soundtrack' was released & 40 years for 'Cameo's - Word Up!' LP. Plus 2 years since we lost Frankie Beverly from Maze. Some old stuff & new stuff.
