Music News - Base FM Digital Liberation Campaign Update

Base FM Digital Liberation Campaign Update

10 May 2013 - 0 Comments

Base FM is cruising through the 2nd week of NZ Music Month like OMC in a Chevy 69!

Managing director Jazz is stoked about the digital push so far. “Digital Liberation has been the most stressful but also most rewarding and exciting thing initiative for BASE since first launching on Freeview in 2008. BASE has never been this strong, there’s no doubt about it! And this is only the beginning…”

The 2nd episode of the Digital Liberator Webisode Series It All Starts In The Underground... is out now! The new episode sets its focus on Base FM's capacity to serve as a cultural incubator that nurtures the sound of the underground. 

This time you hear from new Liberators; Mara TK & Taay Ninh (Electric Wire Hustle), B.Haru Music (Ladi6 and @Peace), Ladi6 herself, Art Official & Israel Starr (Newtown Sound/Niceup.org), and more from Jazz (Managing Director), Dylan C (Base Breakfast / DJ/Programme Director), Isaac Aesili (Funkcommunity/LatinAotearoa) and of course, the Master of Ceremonies, Slave AKA The Loggy Logg. 

You'll also see a photography montage, thanks to numerous contributors and a couple of cool stills of one of our favourite young acts, The Super Villains all cut to a dynamite soundtrack from our key liberators by the amazing guys at Reel Good Productions.  View the new webisode straight from YouTube http://youtu.be/_GHvOjJ9hdo or view it at http://www.basefm.co.nz/

Turn it Up! Is also out now!
