Shlohmo
Henry Laufer aka Shlohmo has been making electronic music since he was 14. Now 25, he has left behind the LA Beat sound that defined him, and now makes electronic anthems that aim for the heart as well as the dancefloor. Tony Stamp catches up with the LA beatmaker to talk about playing with a live band for the first time, and his radical shift in sound.

Toni Huata - Matariki and Te Wiki o te Reo
Monday marks the start of Te Wiki O te Reo Maori and this year marks 40 years since Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori began. Melody Thomas speaks with Toni Huata about maori language week and the video she’ll release this week to mark the occasion.

Albert Hammond Jr.
Albert Hammond Jr. cut his teeth as guitarist for The Strokes, but he’s also established himself as a musical force in his own right, most recently with his third solo album, Momentary Masters. Zac Arnold shares sports metaphors with Hammond Jr. while discovering what he wants to achieve with the new LP.

Alien Weaponry
Northland metal band Alien Weaponry formed in 2010, when the band’s members were only 8 and 11 years old. Since then, Alien Weaponry has featured in numerous Smokefreerockquest finals, opened for heavyweight rock bands Shihad and Devilskin, and released a debut EP. Craig Hayes talks to the road-weary band about their Te Reo Māori song, ‘Ruana Te Whenua (The Trembling Earth)’, which they'll debut at next week's Whangarei regional final of Smokefree Pacifica Beats.

4–5pm

Dylan Goes Electric
On the evening of 25 July 1965, Bob Dylan took the stage at Newport Folk Festival, backed by an electric band. The audience of folk purists and political activists who had hailed him as their acoustic prophet reacted with a mix of shock, booing, and scattered cheers. It was the shot heard round the world—Dylan’s declaration of musical independence, the end of the folk revival, and the birth of rock as the voice of a generation—and one of the defining moments in twentieth-century music. On the 50th anniversary of this seminal event, Nick Bollinger talks to writer and musician Elijah Wald, whose new book Dylan Goes Electric! explores Dylan’s decisive act in its cultural, political and historical context.

Lawrence Arabia and Carnivorous Plant Society
Lawrence Arabia is in the hot seat for this year’s NZIFF Live Cinema event, and he’s chosen an emerging band of session musicians from Auckland, Carnivorous Plant Society, to collaborate with. They’re tasked with the 1928 romantic silent film, Lonesome, directed by Paul Fejos. Sophie Wilson catches up with them during rehearsal to see how it’s done.
