We kick off with a mix from the Te Whanganui-a-Tara deejay and designer Awa. Their club sets and radio workouts for Mouthfull fuse indigenous waiata with dance music.

From Awa:
Kā nui te aroha ki a Friendly Potential mō tēnei atamira ki te tuku waiata.
Arohanui to Friendly potential for this platform to share waiata.
Throughout the process of putting together this mix, I was inspired by a whakataukī (Māori proverb) that I thought would be worth sharing;
Māku te ra e tō ana;
Kei a koe te urunga ake o te rā
Let mine be the setting sun,
Yours is the dawning of a new day.
You can catch Awa playing at Beacon Festival on Saturday 18 March.
