Mouthfull Radio: Music Before Bread w/ Tyler & Martyn Pepperell - June 7th 2025

Several recent radio shows and DJ mixes from me 2 U.

Selected Works is a weekly (usually) newsletter by the Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa (Wellington, New Zealand) based freelance music journalist, broadcaster, copywriter and sometimes DJ Martyn Pepperell, aka Yours Truly. Most weeks, Selected Works consists of a recap of what I’ve been doing lately and some of what I’ve been listening to and reading, paired with film photographs I’ve taken + some bonuses. All of that said, sometimes, it takes completely different forms.

On Saturday morning, I hopped on the bus to the next suburb over in Melbourne and guested on Tyler Barrow’s weekly Mouthfull Radio Saturday show, Music Before Bread. The format was simple, we played song-for-song, drank coffee and talked about music. Tyler even made me a sourdough crumpet with yuzu marmalade. Thanks for inviting me into your beautiful home, Tyler.

Over the course of two hours, we worked through some jazz, ambient, dub, city-pop, post-punk, exotica and a little bit of electro and coldwave. An enjoyable time was had.

LOOSE FM: NOT YOUR MOTHER’S TONGUE

Last month, Loose FM’s Marissa Mele asked me to record a guest mix for her Not Your Mother’s Tongue show. I was happy to oblige and cooked up a one-hour selection of late 90s/early 2000s downbeat, IDM, and neo-soul from the islands of Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu, also known as New Zealand. You can listen to it here.

3RRR: GET DOWN WITH CHRIS GILL

A few days earlier, I headed to Melbourne’s 3RRR community radio station to play some music and have a chat with Chris Gill from the legendary Northside Records on his equally legendary radio show, Get Down. We talked about the road to Gazebo Records’ reissue of New Urban Polynesian by Fuemana, and played some other new jack swing, street soul, and R&B slanted sounds from Aotearoa as well. You can listen here.

THAT’S ALL FOR NOW. EXPECT A PROPER NEWSLETTER UPDATE SOON.
