Nights for Friday 27 January 2017

7:07 Sonic Tonic

Music with magic and mischief spun into an surreal sensation of mayhem and maybe magnificence.

8:12 Kiwiburn

Kiwiburn is New Zealand's Regional Burning Man festival, currently taking place in Hunterville. We talk to Hippathy Valentine, long-time "burner" and project leader for The Giant Weta. 

8:30 Spotlight 

Accomplished Dunedin songwriter Nadia Reid performs a mix of old and new songs at Galatos in Auckland as part of last year's Other Way Festival.

9:07 Country Life 

Tonight the Country Life team visits a hospital currently caring for a Kereru, two great black-backed gulls, a Kea, a Pukeko and three Little Owls, and meets one on New Zealand’s few alpaca shearers.

10:17 Late Edition

A roundup of today's RNZ News and feature interviews as well as Date Line Pacific from RNZ International.

11:07 The Mixtape

For the latest series of the Mixtape, RNZ Music invites guests to compile a C60 of local sounds, and talk us through their selections. As Disasteradio, Luke Rowell creates synth-pop to make even the most staunch shoe-gazer dance, while as vapourwave act Eyeliner he harks back to the heyday of shoulder pads and capitalism.
