Such an incredible mix of talent, beautifully curated stages and an eeeepic team behind the scenes. Was defo one of my favourite editions.

Feel so grateful to be able to host the After Dark sessions at Wendy's Wellness once again and to meet and collaborate with wonderful people.

Cookie @ Splore 2023 - Wendy's Wellness/After Dark

What a beautiful way to close Festival season 2023

Earth Beat festival was so much fun! Had a wonderful time frolicking around the grounds and being inspired by so many magical beings that made this little NZ festival one of my favourites. Great vibes, lots of conscious minded workshops and epic line-up of talented local and overseas peeps come to play.

Had an absolute blast playing on the BIgBadaBoom sound system and can honestly say that the vibes we created were nothing less of magical! Thank you so much Ariki for your support and opportunity to perform in a cosy and playful environment. Will defo keep you in the loop for future gigs x

Here it is my loves!
Enjoy the tunes xxx

A beautiful collaboration with PIANIKA and a kickstart for me of a journey that will only go deeper and deeper.
Ever so grateful for all those lovely souls that have been on this journey with me and have supported my career as a Dj/Producer. The crew is strong!
Hope you enjoy x

GRUV - PIANIKA (feat. Cookie)

Life is so fun it's hard to keep it serious!

I can't say I'm an amazing DJ, in fact there is soooo much out there for me to learn. However if there is something I can say is that when I go behind the decks I always end up having an absolute blast! And that energy is very often felt across the dance floor. 

That's the key!
Have fun with your musical journey and enjoy making mistakes and going your own way. Follow whatever makes you dance and enjoy the moment. There are no rules for the creatives, only the ones we make up in our mind.

Change identities in between sets and see where that takes you, every stage, every lineup and every collab is an opportunity to express yourself differently and to explore faces you didn't know you had.

As a big fan of curated gatherings I have absolutely fell in love with the crews that just do it for the love of it. 

- NO JUDGEMENT
- NO EXPECTATIONS
- NO FAFF
....
 - ONLY LOVE -

Enjoy my fellow journeyers xxx

Spectrum was so precious! Thank you all organisers for putting ion the first festival of the exciting summer season coming up here! the vibes were well kept and was so nice to hear the sounds coming out of Opus Soundsystem. I look forward to future collaborations with this crew.

So stocked to be sharing this fun journey together with you!

Here is the recording of my set at Raglan Burn 2024. A wonderful small gathering on the Ruapuke Motorcamp and run by some absolute stars that brought yummy vibes to the locals in Raglan.
I felt so privileged to be given an amazing set time for my first Raglan Burn, thank you so much to @darkfacesnz for thew booking and for the care throughout the festival. I was so nervous to play after an amazing vibe set by @brettbronze and prepping the Floor for the wonderful @manisah_dj who ended the burn with such elegance.
Was amazing to see you all boogie to these tunes.

***[RELEASE DAY]***

Finally releasing this beautiful organic and deep ambient track to the world!!

One day @pianika asked me to help her perfect her new track so we spent the night twisting the nobs and adjusting the wobs to bring to life this yummy journey.

It has been such a pleasure to see this baby go for a wonder around the world and come back to us with so many exciting features and pop ups in amazing record labels and incredible electronic music collectives such as @katahaifisch, @planetibiza, @beateuwe and many more establishments that pump out only the best sounds in the underground electronic scene.

We thank all of you for this journey

Beautiful End of a Season party from the Lucky Star peeps!

Was a glorious gathering 

Have fun on the journey! made lots of mistakes on this set, few beat jumps and literally forgot how to beat match for a wee second there haha but over all a beautiful experience!

Felt epic to be given a late night time. 3-7 am
 Was a bit nervous to play faster than I usually do but the most gorgeous crowd filled the place with love and we all took on a little journey. Sun rise was incredible!

Happy birthday to my dear friend @dylanc! It was so magic to celebrate you :)

Thank you to the Lucky Star peeps for bringing us all together

Cookie | Lucky Star | End of a Season

What a pleasure it was to play side by side with my brother Dombie at the Matakana Village Pub. We rarely get a chance to have a spin together and every time it's so magical.

This time we came back to a really important community for us. A bunch of loving creatives and healing groups that have followed us throughout the years, coming the every one of our gigs with colours and smiles. It always ends up being such a yummy catch up and release, shaking all night long.

Thanks you to all the peeps that keep it real at the rave and remind us all to connect and love in any environment. You beauties!

Felt important to post this mix online as it's the first as an official  b2b. So many mistakes and interrupted beat matches and only heavens know what we were up to then and how well we were focussing on the set rather than catching up with all our mates. Had so much fun tho x

*** ALL THE FUNKS GIVEN ***

Love you all

All The Funks Given | The Cooke Brothers @ Matakana Village Pub

A beautiful gathering of fun creatives that I had the pleasure to be part of.
A small festival run by a Wellington crew. Such amazing humans.
Even got to perform at the Cabaret as the main character!!
Had a blast and will be back for more next time.

Thank you all for your endless support to the rave.

A Beautiful afternoon at A Love From Outer Kingsland in the heart of Auckland city.
Thank you to the Communicate (NZ) crew for putting such a lovely event.

Big shout out to Saint Leonards Brewery for the lovely space and yummy beers..

I love playing with my partner in crime Geo Seato and his hypnotic flute. Always such a vibe!
We'll be doing it again soon...

Cookie B2B Geo Seato | A Love From Outer Kingsland | Sunday Sessions @Saint Leonards Brewery

* Shipwrecked Festival 2025 *

Describing this moment to a stranger is impossible!
There we all were at our favourite festival, with our favourite people, at our favourite time of the day, at our favourite stage with my favourite partners in crime. On my birthday!

Sunday Morning 8 -12 was the most ideal time for our set. As we started playing the sun was hovering over the trees into the lake creating a yummy warmth that would last the whole day. In fact we got so hot by the end that we had throw Paule into the lake to cool down (and it was my birthday wish).

Our musical journey started with some slow 90 - 100 bpm Wavy Downtempo to get all the morning stretching and catching up with all the crew from a big Saturday night, there was so much creation and sparkly goodness in the air. After a few hours our partner Geo Seato joined us  and added his deep and hypnotic flute to the sounds. It was magical.
Mid set we started getting gruntier and chucked in some deep grooves with heavier baselines. Was a perfect match to the crowd's needs to keep bopping. 
In the end from a slow moving crowd we managed to bump the tempos up to 110 bpm and that resulted in a roaring crowd that was ready for the Sunday magic and Cheep Frills coming in suuuuper hot after us with their first Live set together. It could not have been more perfect!!

The only sad thing was that Geo's flute did not make it in the recording. But not to worry it was insane!!

The beauty of this moment was unprecedented for us. It will be hard to replicate.
Thank you Shipwrecked Festival for this incredible booking and for catering for such a unique and special crowd all the way through till the end. 
We are so lucky to be part of such a loving community of creators that year after year come and showcase their gift to rave. It is special!

See you all in 2026 for our 10 year anniversary!!

- Story -

Cookie is a musician/dj coming in hot from Italy.

From an early age I was attracted to the birth of the new electronic music in Europe in the 90s and early 2000s. The clubbing scene was changing and a whole lot of exciting artists emerged to lead the way in the Techno and House realm.
Having the urge to explore sounds from different places on the planet I started travelling and have landed in NZ in 2017 where Cookie was born and ready to hit the upcoming festivals and productions scene around Auckland area.

Cookie is a heartwarming, base thumping and exploratory act that is rising up like yummy biscuits fresh out of the oven. I give novelty to the dance floor and wave in between genres looking for the right "wob" to entertain your feet.
Flowing in between conscious festivals, major gigs and the upcoming underground scene, Cookie brings in some fresh tunes from the European Techno and House scene as well as some yummy, wobbly Downtempo.

See you out there x

Cookie
