Starlifter Radio launches new website and aims for Outer Space

“Starlifter Radio, an internet radio station broadcasting from Christchurch, New Zealand has a brand new website and is rockin’ the digital airwaves.” Says station automation system, HAL++.

Self described Star Captain, Dr Hitchcock (not a real doctor and known to his mother as Benet), started Starlifter Radio in September 2009 as an outlet for him and his friends to play Indie Rock, Psych Rock, Glitchy Electro, Nu Disco and various other musical genres. Since then a small community has started to gather around the new school wireless to listen to this unique station.

“The launch of the new website gives the Starlifter community a place to communicate with each other and party like it’s 2999.” says HAL++.

Massive Winter Soulstice

Held at the beautiful Kowhai Bush, near Springfield, this year the MASSIVE Winter Soulstice will be a celebration of both the longest night of the year and Matariki, our Southern New Year.

The MASSIVE Winter Soulstices have become something of a legend in the South Island (and beyond) – held outdoors, they’re like the brass monkey of dance events. At Soulstice 2010, dancers will be treated to a close-up view of the majestic Southern Alps to the West, with the whole of the Waimakariri River Gorge laid out to the East – the perfect place to see the sunrise.

Nikki Montana Interview

Today I interviewed Nikki Montana who’s just released her latest EP “The Epiphany”

How long ago did you start making music and what got you into it?

It’s a long story really, as is everyone’s, but basically I had always been a hip hop girl, from intermediate age right through my teens. In about 2000 I started going to raves and listening to a lot of DNB. I DJ’d my own radio show in Christchurch for a few years and decided to dabble in MCing. I really enjoyed it, and was pretty good, probably from listening to rap for all those years beforehand. I used to sing as well, so around the time I started MCing drum n bass I began recording vocal samples for my producer friends to muck round with.  It sort of progressed from there. In around 2003-2004 I was getting sick of the whole DNB thing and something significant happened in my life that made me want to write a song, so I did. I made the beat and I sampled my own voice for the hook, it was my first rap song and it sort of snowballed from there.

Grips and Tonic Review

Thursday 11th May

We had a big turnout on Tuesday and it’s looking like everything’s starting to get on a roll nicely. The chilled vibe up at Cypher’s Lounge together with the couches, reclining chairs, and coke machine isn’t taking away from the energy coming out the sound system. Remember anyone and everyone is welcome to come along get involved or just chill on the couches and check out some mean local hip hop.

Mixtape Review

This week I’ll be reviewing Grips & Tonic’s (JJ Peters and Louie Knuxx) mixtape ‘Songs To Fuck Your Hand To’, which you can download for FREE on the Grips & Tonic Myspace – www.myspace.com/gripsntonic
