Its Friday so its time for five brand new tracks to get their first spin on the hour every hour from 9am. We’ll keep playing these tracks on New Zealand Net Radio, home of streaming radio ad free 24/7 throughout New Zealand.
Hatchie – Sugar & Spice
This lass from Brisbane (real name Hariette Pilbeam) released her first single, “Try” last year. This is about her third single and is great pop dealing with difficult times in relationships.
LOVA – Insecurities
The second single from this Swedish artist – some of her comments in this article.
Mansionair – Violet City
More Australian music, and a new release from ‘alt-electric’ trio Mansionair.
The Kite String Tangle – The Heights of Trees
Finally continuing the Australian theme comes a new EP out today called The Kite String Tangle Presents: In A Desperate Moment. We like this track from the electronic artist, following on from his excellent debut album last year. Good writeup here.
Tove Styrke – On The Low
Another #justadded track from Sydney trio Middle Kids, this follows on from Mistake in a lead up to their anticipated debut album Lost Friends. Great tune – coming up after 8am for its debut spin. Listen on @tunein https://goo.gl/VL6m3N
We’ll be playing some tracks from this #classicalbum this afternoon to celebrate 49 (yes 49!) years since its release. This album marked yet another phase in Bob Dylan’s career as he fully immersed himself in Country music. Surprisingly perhaps, unlike his transition to electric instruments the shift was welcomed. The album was one of his best sellers of all time and the three singles from the album achieved significant airplay – I Threw It All Away, Lay Lady Lay and Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With you. We’ll play all three this afternoon between 12 and 3pm as Classic Gold tracks. 
Our #featuredalbum this week is Revamp: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin. Released to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their collaboration. And what a career they have had. It has already yielded a 25 year celebration (Two Rooms from 1993) but this incredible body of music is worth revisiting. Like the earlier effort it is really interesting hearing how contemporary pop artists have interpreted his songs. Watch the trailer for a bit more background from the contributors:
This was a real club classic back in the day, and is pumping our speakers right now on the Saturday night party show. Listen on @tunein https://tunein.com/radio/New-Zealand-Net-Radio-s305138/
Amen Dunes – Believe
Thirty Seconds To Mars – Rescue Me
James Bay – Us
Janine – Too Late
MØ – Nostalgia
What a fantastic feel good track to invigorate you late in the evening. This brings back memories of that early 80s TV series. At 132 beats per minute you’d struggle to stay still through this quintessential 80s classic!
Very excited about this new Kiwi single, exceptional stuff off Kings’ (
