He began hosting shows on student radio from the age of 16, and has since gone on to run venues such as The Golden Dawn, has a touring company called Strange News, and still spends his rent money on buying records. Producer Shannon Fowler is perhaps best known as the musical mind behind Tom Lark, but he's also a well loved producer for other artists.

Sweet Ingredients is your weekly injection of music from across Aotearoa, from up to the minute releases to old classics, and anything else that takes Matthew and Shannon's fancy at the time!
