Friday night in the Lava Lounge was the place to be at the inaugural Abracadabra Festival in Waitawheta, Aotearoa - New Zealand on July 23-25 2021!

Much love to Janik aka YARNFUNK aka The Busy Movement for inviting me to be part of his magical little mid-winter festival on the North Island. ❤ It felt like a slice of summer. 🌼 I had a great time playing my first ever "silent disco" set!

Quick disclaimer: I wanted to share the recording of the actual set rather than re-recording it, so apologies for some rough transitions - I was struggling a bit with some equipment quirks.

David Juno | Abracadabra Festival 2021

Renaissance Creative Technologist exploring my obsession with mixed media with curiosity and creativity ☘️

German-born David Juno discovered electronic music in Jena before moving to New Zealand. Melody and organic sounds are at the core of the music he is passionate about, through different tempos and moods within the 4/4 realm of house and downtempo. David Juno concocts harmonious brews that enthrall listeners at large and small gatherings; clandestine woodland rendezvous; thundering, pitch-black basement blowouts, light-speed gigs aboard gleaming spaceships, and even interdimensional celestial soirées. He's a regular at XCHC and core member of Mary Hush. David Juno is a sonic conduit - his sets create atmospheric journeys that connect audiences through sonic storytelling, ranging from dark, spacious soundscapes to bright, energetic peaks that capture the full spectrum of human emotion and experience - with all the nuances in between.
