the sound of sound

Deep is broadcast citywide and webcast worldwide on Wellington's Radioactive 88.6FM every Tuesday night from 11pm - 1am.


We are pleased to announce that Podcasts of the last five shows are available once again at:

Deep's mission statement is 'the sound of sound' which offers a pretty wide range of recorded material to draw from. Four djs operate a loosely based four week turnaround which means each week the show sounds quite different from the last.



To get an idea of the artists and labels featured scroll and click through some of the playlists posted below. The only real constant is that you can be sure the sounds will be -


Deep: from Old English: doep; adj. deep·er, deep·est -

- profound in quality or feeling; affecting one deeply; "a deep breath"; "deep emotion"; "a deep trance"; “deep devotion” / very absorbed or involved; "deep thoughts"; "a deep allegory" / vast distance in time or space; "deep in the past"; "deep in enemy territory"; "deep in the woods"; "deep space probe" / extreme; "in deep trouble"; "deep happiness"; "deep night" / rich and intense in shade: "deep purple"; "a rich red" / extending relatively far inward; "a deep border"; “deep left field” / to a great depth; "dived deeply"; "dug deep" / the central and most intense or profound part; "in the deep of night"; "in the deep of winter” / to an advanced time; "deep into the night" / cryptic: difficult to penetrate or understand; a deep metaphysical theory; "a deep dark secret"

10/05/11 - John - Playlist - Ambient Roots

The show set out to trace the early development of ambient music from when the genre was first named by Brian Eno in the cover notes to his 1975 release, 'Discreet Music'. It pretty much turned into an Eno retrospective as most of the early ambient records were his creations and co-creations. The sounds ranged over a twenty year period from 1973's 'No Pussyfooting' with Robert Fripp to 1993's 'Neroli', arguably the most ambient ambient release of all and a definite pinnacle of the ideal. Named after a fragrance, the sound colors the environment like incense.
