Lo Key aka Mike Haru is one of the most experienced radio presenters/DJs on Base FM, with a long history behind the turntables on both radio & various clubs around Auckland. Although his DJ career began in the golden era of 90s hiphop & R&B, Lo Key isn’t someone who is stuck in the past. Dropping $$s at Conch Records & Real Groovy on a weekly bases, he continues his life-long search for the smoothest, freshest, most soulful beats from all corners of the globe.

To the people that know Lo Key personally, they’ll be all too familiar with his unique catch phrases. Here’s a collection of his most trademark quotes:
- “Hey Dawg is that on vinyl?” when another Dj drops a tune he’s feelin’
- “Look at you” when he’s duly impressed with an individual
- “Not For beginners” when dealing with music from the worlds master craftmen
- “INTERNATIONAL” when directed at an individual is high praise indeed coming from the one like Lo Key.
These quotes are aften heard in a number of combinations. (Look at you Dawg… International!)
