Aphid Records is a U.K. Psy Trance Label Based in London.

FlibbertiGibbet is the DJ project of Tara Hawes – a compulsive music collector from an early age.

Growing up in Aotearoa/New Zealand, where her mother worked at a radio station when she was young, some of her earliest memories are being allowed to select which record to play next (if she behaved) – and of the excitement she felt when new vinyl came in – igniting a life-long passion for music. Following many years of promoting, organising and reviewing music events and basically working behind the proverbial ‘scenes’, she finally got behind the decks in ’13 and hasn’t looked back.

Signed to Free-Spirit Records in summer 2017, she enjoys playing a diverse range of styles, from chill-out, downtempo, and dub to minimal, psy-breaks, mid-tempo, psychedelic techno and progressive. This wide-ranging repertoire allows her the creative freedom to blend genres and take the dance floor on a truly unique journey.

Based just outside of London, Tara is a resident at top London psy nights Tribal Village and Astral Circus. With more and more bookings flying her way, she’s had lots of fun playing at all of the Psymera Summer Boat parties, Earthdance London, Turkey’s Psy Boutique Festival, Shattered Barriers, Elixir of Life, Alchemy Records presents Magic & Myths, the Infinite Bliss Transformational Psychedelic Healing Festival, Planet Bob’s Chai Emporium, Black Pearl Festival, Boomtown Fair and many more. 

Tara has also shared line-ups with many of the artists who first inspired her to start mixing, like GAUDI, Hedflux, Ott., Slackbaba, James Monro, Bedouin, Pspiralife, Nanoplex, Monk3ylogic, Hamish, Quanta, Dataura, Sprocket and Nanosphere, as well as warming up for some of the greats of the psy scene.

Over the years, she’s helped promote many of the UK’s biggest psy events, including Halcyon, Antiworld and Elixir of Life. A multi-talented, multi-tasking extraordinaire, when she’s not behind the decks, she has produced editorial content for Boom Festival and, having worked as a music journalist for magazines and websites such as DJMag, HarderFaster.net and Dream Creation, she won the HarderFaster.net Feature Writer of the Year Award for four years running. One of the highlights of summer 2018 was collaborating with the Boom Festival Comms Team to produce the daily Boom Diaries, where she was inspired by so many awesome artists and got some great feedback from many stalwarts of the psy scene.

A gifted selector who has spent countless years contributing to the evolution of the dance music scene, she now has a relentless passion for working the crowd from behind the decks where she can really contribute to the vibe of the party. 

A founding member of the Psy-Sisters Collective, FlibbertiGibbet also co-promotes one of London’s longest running psytrance events, Astral Circus, alongside Nikki S. Recent highlights of her career include opening the Tribe of Frog stage on Sunday at Boomtown Festival 2024 and warming up for Banco de Gaia at his album launch party in London.

In addition, she forms half of the duo Amaluna with DJ Małpka, having performed at last year’s Boomtown Festival and at the incredible Odyssee NYE 2024 in Berlin, where they closed The Gallery on New Year’s Day with an electrifying four-hour set. After the success of Amaluna’s ‘Lunar Phase’ compilation, released in 2019 on Free-Spirit Records, Tara is currently curating her first solo comp, designed to reflect the diversity of the range of music she plays.
