Sub Depot in association with 95bFM Presents Reggae Rodeo 10th Birthday Bash - September 21 at Galatos!

A Reggaematical combination with three of Aotearoa’s finest reggae artists all coming together under one roof for a night of deadly roots, rub-a-dub and dancehall business. The baddest riddim builder out of Whanganui, Naram (Red Robin Records, Jahtari), will be performing a rare live dub set alongside two of Aotearoa’s most accomplished MCs (who also happen to be father and son) - the veteran Mighty Asterix and his prodigy, Israel Starr, who now stands tall as a leading figure in the evolution of NZ reggae (and beyond).

Toro y Moi’s new album ‘Hole Erth’ might represent his boldest musical pivot to date, and this week it’s 95bFM’s Album of the Week!

Speaking about the album and its genesis, Bear shares: "I hope you enjoy this suburban anthem, growing up, the often-controversial-line between mainstream and underground artists was so defined but now that line has become so blurred I can't even tell what I like anymore...sometimes."
