It’s National Reconciliation Week and at triple j, Double J and triple j Unearthed we recognise the platform and privilege we have to speak to our audience, to artists and to this country’s First Nations peoples about where we’re at on the road to reconciliation. We’re committed to amplifying, listening and learning about what we can all do to achieve genuine recognition for Indigenous Australians. That’s why, this Reconciliation Week, we’re highlighting the stories, culture and art of First Nations Australians.
triple j Unearthed will be bringing you a week-long Indigenous Takeover on daily program TOPS. Kicking off at 5:30pm weekdays from Thurs 27 May, the TOPS Indigenous Takeover will highlight the most exciting songs uploaded to triple j Unearthed in 2021 by new First Nations artists.
Each show will be brought to you by triple j’s Indigenous radio presenters and producers, including:
Dave Woodhead – triple j Weekday Lunch presenter, stand-up comic and Torres Strait Islander man
Karla Ranby – triple j Weekend Lunch presenter, TV presenter and Gamilaroi woman
Ashley McGregor – triple j Breakfast Producer and Wadawurrung woman
Nooky – triple j Indigenous Content Producer, rapper and Yuin man
Tyrone Pynor – triple j presenter, SBS broadcaster and Torres Strait Islander man
Tom Forrest – triple j Unearthed Producer, ABC TV presenter and Yorta Yorta man
Tomorrow on triple j, Wergaia artist Alice Skye will be dropping by the Like A Version studio to perform an incredible original and cover.
On Monday 31 May, keep your eyes out for a special Live at the Wireless video performance by East Arnhem Land’s surf-rock group King Stingray, recorded at ABC Ultimo.
Plus, across the week on triple j you’ll hear interviews with artists like The Kid Laroi, Ziggy Ramo and Budjerah. And you’ll hear more stories from 5.30pm every weeknight on triple j Hack.
Thursday 7.00pm on Double J, Nooky and Caz Tran present the J Files, with enduring, anthemic songs by Indigenous artists such as Mop & The Dropouts, Kev Carmody and Nadeena Dixon that have showed paths towards reconciliation for decades.
From 6.00pm on Mon 31 May, Double J’s Classic Album program will go deep on the 1981 soundtrack to the film Wrong Side of the Road, featuring tracks by No Fixed Address and Us Mob.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
