    Artist Chat: Renée

    She’s back on the air! Renée joins us fresh out of the studio and ready to talk about her latest release, the brand-new single BEEN A MINUTE. We dive into what she’s been working on behind the scenes, the inspiration behind the track, and what this new chapter means for her sound moving forward. If you’ve missed hearing from Renée, this one’s been a long time coming. Turn it up, it’s been a minute, and she’s back.

    We’ve Lost the Plot (Pure Chaos)

    We’ve well and truly lost the plot, and it’s only the second show of the year. With Producer Frankie taking the day off, the show immediately goes off the rails in the best possible way. Zain’s been causing some mid-week city-centre chaos, MJ spills the tea on how he’s settling into his new city (and the shenanigans that have already followed), and with Laneway happening this week, we’re gearing up to see Chappell Roan and break down the full lineup. No producer. No structure. Just chaos, festival hype, and questionable decisions.

    We’re Back for '26: Big Moves, Bad Decisions & More Sidequests

    We’re officially back for 2026, and things are already off the rails. MJ has packed up and made the move to Christchurch, joining Zain and Producer Frankie, so naturally, chaos follows. Zain has once again made a big financial decision… and yes, some might say it was a bad one. The real question is: does MJ rip into him, or let it slide? Expect plenty of laughs, questionable choices, and all the usual banter as the crew kicks off the new year together + heaps more nonsense along the way. New year. More shenanigans.

    Who Got Shot?? + Big Kiwi Artist News

    This week’s episode is wild — and yes, apparently one of us has been “shot”… and you’ll never guess how. (Don’t worry, everyone’s fine — but the story is peak chaos.) Zain is desperately trying to talk some sense into MJ, who’s dangerously close to dropping a ridiculous amount of cash just to fly to Laneway Festival this February. Will logic win? Probably not. Plus, we’re joined by Guntaas Oberoi – the Indo-Kiwi indie-pop artist blending raw emotion with rich cultural fusion. She jumps on the show to chat about her stunning new single “Embers,” the heartbreak behind it, and the journey of letting go. And of course… a whole lot of shenanigans.

    Artist Chat: Guntaas Oberoi - The Indie-Pop Artist Blending Raw Emotions

    In this episode, MJ sits down with Guntaas Oberoi, the Indo-Kiwi indie-pop artist known for weaving raw emotional storytelling with the rich textures of Indian classical music and modern indie-pop. With soul-stirring lyrics and a genre-fusing sonic style, Guntaas is carving out a bold and refreshing space in today’s music landscape. Fresh off performances at Auckland’s Moana Festival and multiple support shows for Australian artist Sarah Light across Melbourne, she’s building a dedicated trans-Tasman fanbase — and she’s only getting started. Guntaas dives into her latest release, “Embers,” a heartbreaking yet empowering track about reminiscing, letting go, and rediscovering who you are after loss. She opens up about the pain of not feeling “enough,” the journey of accepting when someone isn’t meant for you, and the healing that comes from finding yourself again. “Embers” is out now — and you won’t want to miss this conversation.
