The Swap Meet 4 October 2026

It was the four o'clock roadblock this week, with in studio crew pulling up to the Swap Meet including: heavy collectors Campbell Ngata & Cassawarrior from Tairāwhiti, and also local hearoes Dylan Biscuit & Leon Aoki of Arcade Radio. We kicked off with two cuts from the unreleased Stevie Wonder EP that dropped this week marking 50 years of Songs in the Key of Life. The Mighty Sparrow's passing gets its due, and there's a first play of two tracks from Nathan Haines' new Soft Chaos album, "The Answer" and "Modulatea" getting an early airing ahead of release. From there the five of them more or less split off into their own territory, which makes for a set that moves around more than usual, soul and boogie rarities running alongside Brazilian and heavy West African that will put your Shazam on the fritz. Good people and fine tunes for your earholes...
