Coxsone’s Music
Studio One founder and the original kingpin of Jamaican music, Clement ‘Coxsone’ Dodd, has had a profound effect on popular music over the past 50 years – from the birth of ska to reggae to dancehall. Emma Smith talks with Soul Jazz Records founder Stuart Baker about Coxsone's formative recordings, collected for the first time in the new Soul Jazz compilation, Coxsone’s Music.

A$AP Rocky
Named for the great Rakim Allah of Eric. B & Rakim fame, Rakim Mayers aka A$AP Rocky sets the tone sonically and visually for his style-conscious Harlem collective, A$AP Mob. His uptown aesthetic sensibilities have just seen him nominated for a Best Music Video Grammy for the trippy visuals to his song ‘LSD’; that Grammy will be awarded just a week out from his latest NZ run in the New Year. Ahead of the ceremony, he tells us about his lysergically enhanced video treatment.

Aotearoa Futurism Part Two: South Pacific Futurists
If Afrofuturism is where science fiction and technology meets popular culture of the African diaspora, could it be happening in Aotearoa too?  In part two of Aotearoa Futurism, Sophie Wilson and Dan Taipua put this question to Northland teen metal band, Alien Weaponry, MC turned game developer, Billy Herotech, multimedia artists Lisa Reihana and Coco Solid who are redefining the contemporary image of indigenous and the Pacific diaspora.

Anatomy of a Song Series 2: The Black Seeds’ ‘Cool Me Down’
Anatomy of a Song is a radio series produced by our friends at RDU in Christchurch, in which Spanky Moore and selected New Zealand musicians dissect the different elements of one of their tracks, getting to the bottom of what makes that song special. This week he looks at The Black Seeds’ ‘Cool Me Down’.
