NATION RADIO is our guest-curated playlist series. These playlists are made for our spaces and activities, but you can enjoy them wherever you are. From cooking at home to walking to work, we've got your soundtrack ready to play.
Our guest selector is Andrew Levins, a DJ, chef, writer and Dad. He is behind the monthly 90s party The Rhythm of the Night, and is one of the DJs behind Sydney's long running rap party Halfway Crooks. Hear him every week on the podcasts Hey Fam and The Mitchen. Levins is also a Western Sydney resident with strong ties to the community. He runs the local food blog Parramatta Eats and has written 100's of articles on the subject. In his playlist series he'll be featuring a ton of local artists too, with each playlist featuring 30% artists from Western Sydney. Some names to get to know are B Wise, Planet Vegeta, Becca Hatch, Sollyy, Friday, Dylan Atlantis, Youngn Lipz, Fisheye FM, Thandi Phoenix, Gold Fang, Breakfast Road, Zion Garcia, Nardean, Lil Spacely, Kwame, Cabu, No Intent, Chirine, ONEFOUR, 1300, A.Girl and more.
The fourth Nation Radio playlist is called gym.
gym features fifty tracks that Levins has been hearing on the dancefloor over the last ten years that have made him think "this one would be great to work out to". All high tempo and housey with a few motivational lyrics — mostly someone telling you to 'MOVE' again and again for 16 bars. There are also a few songs with calm intros so you've got some room to breathe. Throw it on and get ready to sweat it out!
