Music reviewer Grant Smithies

Sheffield synth-pop pioneers The Human League are on their way to New Zealand for the first time, and long-time fan Grant Smithies is chuffed. We revisit their extraordinary debut single from 1978 and another classic from their 1981 breakthrough album, Dare. And you might as well roll back the carpet: we'll also be hearing dance-friendly gems from Wellington producer Estere and Philadelphia's Evelyn "Champagne" King.
