Here's a pretty accurate musical rundown of the show.

Chronophonium
We head to what could be the last Chronophonium, to meet the musicians, organisers and party goers that make up the country's biggest DIT (do it together) indie music festival.

3-4pm

Analog Africa
Analog Africa is a German-based label on a mission to excavate ’70s African music, some of which would otherwise be lost to the passing of time. Tunisian owner/operator Samy Ben Redjeb has been responsible for releasing reissues of many sonic gems that he has dug up from all over Africa and Columbia. Trevor Reekie talks to him about his finds.

Kamasi Washington
When Los Angelean jazz saxophonist and band leader Kamasi Washington plays the inaugural Auckland City Limits, he’ll be part of a bill that included his LA comrade and collaborator, Kendrick Lamar, whose To Pimp a Butterfly LP was enhanced by his horn playing and string arrangements. Before Washington touches down in NZ with the tenor sax he’s dubbed ‘the Duchess’, he tells us what to expect.

Lefto
Belgian tastemaker DJ Lefto has often been described as the DJ’s DJ. On his long-running Studio Brussels FM radio show, which soon celebrates its 17th year, he deftly marries tunes from all ends of the globe. It’s this knack for eclectic selections that caught the ear of Gilles Peterson, whom he is affiliated with via the Worldwide Family collective and Brownswood Recordings, as well as !K7, Stones Throw, Jazzy Sport and Blue Note. Yadana Saw sits down with Lefto to talk about the art of DJing.

Back on Highway 61 Part 1
Beginning with the resounding hit of a snare drum, ‘Like A Rolling Stone’ starts Bob Dylan’s first fully electrified album, Highway 61 Revisited, a release that Bruce Springsteen described as “like somebody kicked open the door to your mind”. In Back on Highway 61, the BBC’s Andy Kershaw looks at what it was that made it such an game-changing record.
