A massive shout out to those vibey Peeps that came out last Saturday to support Arkadien. Thanks for having me at the Arkraiser.
It was an absolute blast to play along side my mates, made even more amazing with incredible sound by Gary Doof, you da man bro!
And to compliment the sound, next level light production by Hayden Thorne and Jared Thorne of Lightwave Systems.
We are blessed to have such a passionate crew of production guru’s here in Hawkes Bay who just know exactly what to do.
Thank you team, It is always a pleasure.
Here are a few Video clips of my set.

One last hurrah at Common Room - so we've made it a goodie!

We have had some amazingly good nights in this space, and before we say goodbye to the legend that is Common Room, we are bringing a taste of the Arkadien community to the dance floor one more time.

This is not the full Arkadien experience… but it is a little glimpse through the looking glass. ✨ You will get a taste of the music, the stunning decor and the transfixing light shows Arkadien is known for. You will be able to see and feel the safety, love and light our community brings.

If you have never been to an Arkadien; get your ticket and come along. See for yourself what everyone raves about.

This Arkraiser is a TICKET ONLY event, so make sure you snap yours up as soon as you can.

With less than a week to go, we’re getting pretty bloody excited about the line-up for In Session: Auckland Edition.
Get ready to experience some of Hawke’s Bay’s finest DJs are heading to the big smoke to share their sounds with the Auckland massive.

First up, the magician of the Bay, the one and only SS61.

A Hawke’s Bay local with more than four decades behind the decks, SS61 has been DJing since the 80s.
His sound moves between Deep House, Indie Dance, Progressive House, Bass House and Techno, with a focus on warm melodic grooves, rolling basslines and driving energy.
Over the years, he’s supported Carl Cox, Nicole Moudaber and Freq Nasty, along with some of Aotearoa’s best, including Trei, Body Ocean, Chiccoreli & MC Tali, Sanoi and Beacon Bloom.
Plenty of experience, a deep love of music and a natural ability to read a room.

Catch SS61 at Parked Up, Auckland, 11th September
9.30-11pm
