Rnz: Music 101

Mokotron is a Ngati Hine music producer based in Tamaki Auckland, who is part of a Maori electronic music scene that has become a creative force. The man behind Mokotron is Tiopira McDowell - by day a lecturer in Maori Studies, and co-head of the Maori and Pacific Studies at Auckland Uni, and by night, an artist who has gained a reputation for getting the clubs heaving with a sound that's distinctly Aotearoa.
