Base FM reaches Wanaka

Wanaka in beat

DJ R.I.A.

DJ R.I.A., aka Rire Norman, will be playing her eclectic funk-driven sound at Queenstown's Tardis tonight and Wanaka's Barluga tomorrow night for the BASE FM Wanaka broadcast launch.

With the help of community radio station Wanaka Beats FM, Auckland-based BASE FM will start broadcasting a mix of quality beats to Wanaka listeners on 107.3FM.

Wanaka-based musician, teacher and DJ, Daimon Schwalger aka The Nomad, said the BASE FM broadcast would have definite appeal to Wanaka's younger generation and transient travellers, especially over the winter season when the resort's population swelled.

"It's a real treat to have BASE FM in Wanaka. There's a lot of young people that travel here each year and we all need fresh sounds. It means that we can have an outlet for music, gigs and keep tabs on what's fresh in New Zealand music."

Catch DJ R.I.A. with Dylan C and DJ Alias tonight in Queenstown, and with Dylan C and DJ Damon in Wanaka tomorrow.

Radio Heritage Foundation projects and activities connect radio, popular culture, history and heritage.

The charitable trust has been giving a voice to those involved in radio via our website since 2004 and will continue to do so.

We are inclusive of all visitors, regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, or disability and aim to connect people of all ages and cultures who love radio

We welcome a sense of wonder from the joy of listening via radio, and from memories retold for the enjoyment of all generations.

We prefer to use environmentally sustainable goods and services where we can afford to, and we provide free community access worldwide to our collections, published research, preservation and promotion activities in a completely paper-free environment.
