Morena! You’re tuned into RadioActive.fm with your host Frida, and this morning we’re joined by Finn Manu Bellingham of Toroa, a new project from Shankara NZ. Their latest work Te Tīmatanga traces creation itself, spiralling from Te Kore through pūtātara, kōauau and waiata into a living soundscape and this year. Finn will be playing at Cuba Dupa with their solo project.

This time Frida is speaking with Groove Council. They fuse DJ sensibilities with hypnotic soundscapes and jazz-informed improvisational flare to craft infectiously danceable nonstop live sets. Fresh off the release of their debut four-policy EP 'In Session', the council are delighted to be back for another groovemocratic meeting at Newtown Festival.
