10th May: Matini will be talking with another local artist HORI CHAPMAN at 2.30pm, who is from none other than the mighty Mangamuka and living in Kaitaia at the moment and is the brother of our bossman Cyril Chapman. Hori hits us with his own compositions in Te Reo and English and will be talking with Matini with whats new and hot.

11th May: Another act coming from the area of Ohaeawai called Johnny Pedro aka THE JP PACKAGE. Johnny has been in our studio a number of times and will be playing live in the studio at 2pm. Then we welcome at 2.30pm VAVESE PAPAROA, Vavese is a local act from that beautiful place called Motuti coming from the wonderful waters of the Hokianga. She is on her way to Hollywood and shes dropping in to have a chat with Matini about her journeys.

12 May: Harmony and melody, floating on deep grooves and rhythms – PAUA brings natural reggae staples for the soul. Bred in Aotearoa – created in Brisbane, this eight piece collective bridges the gap between the urban life we live, and the idyllic life we dream of living.  Blending a diverse spectrum of influences into the unique Pauareggae sound, Paua music will capture your heart, feed your mind and make you move your feet.
