As Dr Dre’s production partner in seminal LA hip hop outfits World Class Wreckin' Cru and N.W.A, DJ Yella's place in a pantheon of West Coast rap pioneers is assured.

Anatomy of a Song Series 2: Jakob 'Magna Carta'
Anatomy of a Song is a radio series produced by our friends at RDU in Christchurch, in which Spanky Moore and selected New Zealand musicians dissect the different elements of one of their tracks, getting to the bottom of what makes that song special. This week he looks at Jakob’s ‘Magna Carta’.

Cheap Thrills Magazine
With the rise of online content and instantaneous social media, music magazines have fallen by the wayside. Zac Arnold talks with the editors of Cheap Thrills, a Christchurch-based publication with a focus on music before profit margins.

Orchestra of Spheres China Tour Diary
In October 2015 Orchestra of Spheres toured China. With long-time collaborator, VJ Lady Lazer Light, the band played shows all around the country, at festivals, DIY spaces, punk bars and BBQ restaurants, taking their unique South Pacific demolition disco sound to Chinese ears for the first time. Join the band for the whirlwind trip, as they navigate their way through the train stations and back alleys of some of the biggest cities on the planet, meeting a smorgasbord of local artists, musicians and street hawkers.

The Sampler - Sam Philips: The Man Who Invented Rock n' Roll
Rock ’n’ roll has its creation myths, and one of the more popular versions has it all starting with ‘Rocket 88’.  Nick Bollinger ponders whether Sam Phillips really was the man who invented rock ‘n’ roll, or – like a lightning rod – was he just there to catch it when it struck?
