Curator Picks | Week Of 5th July

Written by on 15 July 2021

Each week our curators put together a list of new songs to be featured on RDU. Weā€™ve taken their hit pick and compiled them into one action-packed playlist.

Check out their picks below.

Hannah: Lunar Intruder – Outerworlds

Otautahi band Lunar Intruder have released their second EP ‘Outerworlds’. Described as anĀ interplanetary collection of songs, ‘Outerworlds’ shows just how far their sound has come. Self-described as an EP that encapsulates the sound they’ve been searching for since the start, their new alt psychedelic direction is one to keep an eye on this year.

Leila: Christopher El Truento & Avantdale Bowling Club – Burning Sensation

My track this week is a collaboration by Kiwi musicianā€™s Christopher El Truento & Tom Scott. Iā€™ve been following Christopher for a bit now and Tom Scott is a bit of a legend as we all know. His witty spoken word adds a bit of tongue and cheek to the otherwise smooth instrumental. Covering topics such as long blacks and Auckland’s inflated housing market.

Lewis: DEB5000 – Termite Queen

If I have a daughter, I hope that one day sheā€™ll either join or start a Riot Grrrl group. I want them to have that incendiary wit, that motivation to kick dudes in the nuts when they try and neg them. Itā€™s a mindset I think we need more of, and this quartet from Tāmaki Makaurau is one of the more recent gals with happeninā€™ ā€˜tude thatā€™ve been cropping up in the last year or so. Kick out the jams, motherfuckers!

Becca: Azure – Method 

Otautahi is blessed with some dope Producers, and Liam Murray aka Azure is certainly one of them. Usually producing 4/4 delights, he drops the Champion/Method EP filled with Dubstep 140 madness. Method is a tune every local 140 catalogue needs, donā€™t miss out.
