Our guest on the RNZ Mixtape is Kristina Simons, aka DJ Tina Turntables.
She started her career in music television, working at Juice TV, Max TV and Alt TV and continued to work in entertainment media for decades, as a writer, director and editor.
At the same time she was building her reputation as DJ Tina Turntables, firstly on a small underground station Fleet FM, and then for Auckland student radio bFM, predominantly on the Sunday afternoon soul show Back On The Goodfoot.
She has DJ’d every kind of party, from outdoor festivals to dive bars, including after parties for Peaches, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, The Black Keys, and The Rolling Stones.
Since moving to Ōtepoti she calls herself very lucky to be working as the manager of the student radio station, Radio One.
