For today's music feature, we're travelling back to the heady days of the 1990s - when a new generation of Aotearoa jazz, soul, funk, dub and lounge musicians rose to fame.
Nathan Haines and Mark De Clive-Lowe in Auckland and Bongmaster, Ebb and Solaa in Christchurch and Wellington were early pioneers of this movement.
This crossover between DJ culture and live music continued into the new Millennium with Fat Freddy's Drop, Trinity Roots, Ladi6 and Solaa putting New Zealand on the musical map.
Martyn Pepperell shares some sounds from the era.
