87. Tiki Taane (Recording Artist) Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

Tiki Taane is widely considered to be an influential element in the pioneering of New Zealand's bass culture, as well as the country's most prolific and talented "genre-bending experimentalist". Praised as much for his powerful, headlining live performances as he is for the anthems he writes and produces, his extraordinary ability to rock the mic as both a gifted performance MC and a solo acoustic performer is something to be experienced firsthand.
