CK:001 ('17/18)

Set recorded live @ Stranges Lane (Christchurch) in 2018 for 4Four.

Live @ 4FOUR ChCh [20.10.18]

I got booked to play this beautiful little party by The Busy Movement after one of the organisers heard me play at a private party up in Te Arai about 6 weeks prior. I was asked straight after my set, but she had to check with her partner before locking it in. 

The next morning I was sitting next to one of my closest friends, talking and laughing like little kids as we always do, when the organiser came bouncing over with a big grin to tell me that it was all on and i was confirmed to play on the Friday/Saturday from 2am-4am. I was so humbled and excited by how this came about...

A few weeks later I received the news that my friend I was sitting next to that morning had crashed his car and passed away at the age of 34. He was one of my closest friends; we acted like little kids most of the time we were together - we shared the same silly sense of humour and the same passion for amazing music. 

This set was the first time I played since that private party and the passing of my dear friend and brother. Emotions were still raw, I had no idea what I was going to play, but I had my brother in my heart and this is the set that came out.

Thank you to Christa for booking me, and Janik for putting on such a beautiful party alongside her. 

This is dedicated to Jackson Takiaho, rest easy my friend x

Live @ Ponderosa Ranch [26/03/22]

Summer, if we can even call it that, was totally unexpected, frustrating, and in some cases devastating for many people across NZ. I personally know that the music scene took a big hit; parties postponed, cancelled, or cut short... DJs, promoters & event staff losing income, and punters missing out on much anticipated & needed experiences. 

I recorded this mix to release some energy, share some gems, and get in the groove that I didn't get to over the last couple of months. 

The set wasn't planned out, but still (I hope!) captures the sound and vibe I wanted it to: high energy, rolling, grooving, percussive, deep, minimal and yet big at the same time... 

Featuring tunes from:

Audiofly / Basti Grub / Dennis Cruz / Dewalta / Frankey & Sandrino / Gaiser /  Markus Homm / My Cat Snoop / Pearson Sound / Steve Bug / Upercent... to name a few.

I hope it helps give you that good party attitude that makes our scene so incredibly special <3

Cooper Khan - Good Party Attitude

Here's my set from 'This Must Be It' - recorded live 02:30-04:00am, 30/04/23.

TMBI is the brainchild of Finn Jackson & Jana Haze - it's a beautiful little boutique festival nestled away on the west coast of Raglan and this was the debut! 

The whole gig - from the production, decor, layout and general feel, to the DJs, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail throughout - was spot on. It sold out (unsurprisingly, and I'm sure it will continue to do so as it continues. 

Hats off to Finn & Jana, and to everyone else who worked hard behind the scenes to pull this absolute gem of a party together. 

I had a great time playing this set and had a fantastic dance floor from start to finish. Thanks also to my friends and loved ones who danced with me! 

I hope you enjoy :) <3

Live @ TMBI [29/04/23]

In Japanese there is a word 幸 (sachi) which translates as good fortune, and happy accidents.

One Friday (early) morning after a night of celebrations with my muse & partner, I decided to press record and have a mix in my lounge. Many DJs will understand what it is to get 'lost in the mix'... everything else disappears; nothing exists apart from that moment you're in and the music that's playing. This was one of those moments for me - there was no real thought as far as what tunes I would play, certainly no planning, and I just got completely sucked into the music. This was the result... 

A real eclectic bunch of tunes in here, from big bass lines with broken beats, to groovy minimal rollers, and everything in between... 

Recorded using 3x XDJ1000s, X:ONE 92 mixer & a Strymon Volante pedal. 

I hope you enjoy it!

Much love :) <3

BTR Mix

This was my first time playing at a beautiful little boutique festival called 'Luscious' in the south island of New Zealand. 

Recorded live 12:00am-01.30am on the opening night.

I played mostly what I was feeling in the moment, and there's even one of my own productions in there which was a big thing for me as it's only the second time I've included one in a set. 

I play on 3 CDJs, so there are lots of tunes crammed in, there are different grooves, styles & vibes throughout but all of the tracks share a certain something that I like, and i guess you could call that my 'sound'.

Thanks to Sandy & Riki for putting on the party and inviting me down, and thanks to my friends, my beautiful partner Goldy & everyone else who danced.

I hope you enjoy :) <3
