SOUL / FUNK

New Zealand’s tight knit network of soulful beatmakers, bands and dance music experts has been the object of worldwide admiration quite a few times over the years. Many of these forward-thinking outfits have been brought to global attention by DJ, producer and radio personality Frank Booker. Hosting his regular show on George FM, Hit It & Quit It, alongside the mighty Recloose, he became a pinnacle of the burgeoning scene, that he himself is a vital part of. When not busy breaking other people’s records, he releases his own on labels like Sleazy Beats and Japan’s Wonderful Noise.
