Stan Walker, Tiki Taane and Anna Coddington are among more than 20 Kiwi music stars who have formed a supergroup to record a Covid-19-busting tune from lockdown.Made across just seven days by singers and musicians in their living rooms, garages and back yards, 'Stay'​ is a waiata - and accompanying video - urging Kiwis to stay home to save lives.Released today, 100 per cent of the proceeds from the song and video is being donated to Music Helps, a charity that provides emergency help for Kiwi musicians facing hardship or illness and invests in music projects to help those in need.The idea originated from Anaru Mill, the head of Manaaki, a Government aid fund that's part of the national Covid Command group.After a string of conversations, Mikee Tucker from Loop, an Auckland-based company with a portfolio that includes a record label, got involved and enlisted some of our brightest stars.A collaboration with Te Māngai Pāho, the Crown entity responsible for the promotion of Māori language and culture, it's designed to showcase how Kiwis can pull together in a time of crisis.Produced by Tucker and written by Anna Coddington, Rob Ruha, Scott Tindale, Brad Kora, Ara Adams-Tamatea and Joel Shadbolt, vocalists include Walker, Taane, Ria Hall and Troy Kingi.Shadbolt - lead vocalist and guitarist with L.A.B. who recently topped the chart with In The Air - helped arrange the song and said the opportunity the create a positive message was "inviting"."Zoom's our best friend for this!" he said."We had one original meeting for the singers and songwriters over Zoom, and then voila."Once the song was written, a demo was sent to everyone. The singers recorded their own parts and sent the audio to producers who crafted the final version over three days."We went from that phone call to a completed song all in one week," Shadbolt said.He hopes it will encourage Kiwis by example."With the status of all these musicians, hopefully people will see that and say, oh if they're staying home so must I."Stay will be available via Apple Music and Spotify. Loop hopes people will share the track - and video - to circulate and reinforce the stay-at-home message.The full list of featured artists is: Joel Shadbolt (L.A.B), Troy Kingi, Stan Walker, Anna Coddington, Theia, Bailey Wiley, Rob Ruha, Pere Wihongi (Maimoa), Jackson Owens, Kings, Rei, Ria Hall, Hollie Smith, Tiki Taane, Fran Kora (Kora), Logan Bell (Katchafire) and Brad Kora (L.A.B). 

This episode takes a bit of a dark turn and looks at how Wellington music and the city itself faced challenges after the 2008 economic crash. Less focused on bands, more on the industry itself, I have still included a playlist of music from the period. This week I am joined again by Mikee Tucker of Loop Recordings, as well as Justin Lester, the current mayor of Wellington City and Ben Mulchin, owner and manager of the venerable live bar Valhalla.

This week in Episode Two we look at what is now considered by many to be the "Golden Age" of Wellington music. The Dub/Electronic scene pushed by Loop Recordings from 1998 to 2008. This scene happened while Wellington was in a creative boom, with the Lord Of The Rings trilogy bringing in money and talent into the capital. Such acts to come out of this situation were Fat Freddie's Drop, The Black Seeds, Trinity Roots, Rhian Sheehan, King Kapisi, The Phoenix Foundation and yes, even The Flight Of The Conchords. We are joined again by our past guests Aaron Tokona of Weta and later music producer Pete Jamieson and introducing Mikee Tucker, the founder of Loop and co-founder of Fly My Pretties. As promised here's a link to another podcast with more on Loop and the Wellington Dub/Electronic sound. www.mixcloud.com/basefm/indigenou…24th-march-2017/ Playlist Clav Dub- Rhombus Pavor Nocturnus- Distant Earth (theme) Sense and Cents- Trinity Roots Waiting (feat.
