Base FM picks
Base FM 107.3 is a low-power radio station broadcasting straight outta Ponsonby. No commercial bullshit hustle, no fake machismo muscle. The show schedule reads like a who's who of Auckland's hip hop, funk, and soul scene, and the station's run by a crew that cares.
Base FM recommends these gigs.
