New music from the circling sun out on Soundway Records ! First single kohan out now / vinyl may 19 lnk.to/circling-sun

This weekend, we air the final ep of FPR. Since we began the show in 2016, we have featured about 430 separate artists from over 40 countries, with the lion's share from Aotearoa. We're hugely grateful to all the artists and DJs, and to 95bFM , Mouthfull Radio , and Radio One 91FM.

Loving Kohan - the first single. Can’t wait to listen to the full album 🙌🏽

Emerging from the PL bunker at this news! Like everyone in the musictech industry, we'll be watching closely to see what this means as the details and implications become clearer, but no question this is a BIG DEAL! Good or bad for the NZ musictech cluster... hmm, time will tell!

Excellent summary of the potential ramifications of Serato's acquisition by Pioneer DJ. Logic says there's a strong chance of Serato, a NZ success story, ceasing to exist in the medium term and its IP absorbed into Rekordbox. But let's see, early days yet. digitaldjtips.com/pioneer-dj-buy…
