Born a Kiwi but raised in the UK, Coopa Blu was brought up on a sultry diet of John Peel, Hip Hop, Motown, Dancehall, Ska and Soul. Collecting tunes and spinning since the heady housey days of 1989 - he has a wide taste for all things interesting for the discerning dancefloor - from Futurefunk, Afrobeat, Dub and Classic Soul through to Nu-Jazz, broken beats and worldly treats! His philosophy is to celebrate versatility and is at home bridging BPM's and collaging the unexpected wherever possible.
Over the past 5 years he has continued to bring his sound both here in Auckland and Wellington. Long running shows on FirmFM and Radio Active's 89FM; co-founding the 'Cheese and Pickle' nights at Sandwiches; supporting Big Bada Boom; spreading some sunshine at Cuba Street Carnival and setting up the long running 'Sundried' garden summer sessions which he intends to bring to Auckland this summer along with his new FONK venture for 2010.
Having been part of the BaseFM family since 2007, he heads up 'On the Flipside' for some soulful Thursday Afternoon shenanigans. Expect everything from the Specials through to Baby Charles, with enough soul to keep you going well until the weekend. It will be a mixed bag from both hemispheres... coz everyone loves a Thursday!
