RNZ sound engineer Brad Warrington (aka DJ Sticky Fingaz or Sticky) has been making popular Spotify playlists in recent years - and sometimes sharing them on Afternoons.
To make his new summer road trip playlist "you gotta be funky", he tells Jesse Mulligan.

Brad's playlist includes 'Empire State of Mind' by Jay-Z & Alicia Keys, 'Push on Thru' by Salmonella Dub and 'Is This Love?' by Bob Marley.
Pretty much any Marley song can "slot into that summer vibe", though, he tells Jesse Mulligan.

The host of RNZ's The Panel is fond of 'Time Makes the Wine' - a hit single released in 1999 by New Zealand soul band Ardijah.
"They had this really unique fusion of funk … and this Polynesian style. Ardijah was really unique."

During a hallway encounter, Morning Report presenter Corin Dann revealed to Brad what he listens to while driving on a summer day.
"When he's not flexing his interview muscle on air he is listening to Beck, 'The Golden Age'.
"You can imagine him rolling along in his seven-seater out to Titahi Bay to go surfing."
