Splore 2023 - All Sets

Boyz N Da Bush

Sets/Mixes/Podcasts

Gratitude. Belonging. Collaboration. Flow state. Scintillating crowd energy. Much mud. Moist air. Fire and Water. Masculine and Feminine.

These are a few words that come to mind when I think back to my Sunday Mass set at Swing Fling, from 2-4pm on the last day of Kiwiburn 2023.

Many thanks to all the pious and devout dancers who brought their palpable energy to a very special rendition of the Sunday Mass, as well as all the nuns at Swing Fling serving pancakes, mimosas and/or spanks to those who confessed their transgressions on (or off) the paddock. Gary Boomshanker certainly got excited, letting off a burst of flames with every spank.

It turns out that sleep deprivation, a splitting headache and the sweltering heat inside Swing Fling's dome on a sunny afternoon after days of rain make a great recipe for entering flow state while DJing! I've had the best time feeding off the energy, dance moves and smiles from the crowd, playing one of my most enjoyable sets in a long time. Originally I was only supposed to play an hour but when the next DJ didn't show up I was actually stoked that I could continue tapping into flow state and weaving more songs. I ended on one song that I chose specifically as a way of showing my gratitude to Swing Fling and the larger burn community: Belong by Viken Arman. There is something truly tangible about the sense of belonging I feel with the radiant humans of Swing Fling, both at my first burn and this time, being actually part of the camp.

I got even more emotional when my friend Dani from Wānaka started drumming along to my tunes - something that I'd always dreamed of someone doing during a set. Next time we should try and get the drumming amplified and recorded, too!

In closing, I'd like to share a massive insight I had at this burn: the music I like to play (and dance to) is usually more feminine than masculine, which sustains the positive valence of a dancefloor and of the dancers, and keeps spirits uplifted. This may sound straightforward, but there's something in the simple clarity I gleaned from this that is very wholesome and satisfying.

Kia ora!

Dolphin Therapy @ Splore 2023

I don’t think I’ve ever been as nervous and anxious prior to a performance than on that day. Something about a much bigger crowd than my first time, knowing that there will be dance floor full of DJs, as well as me overthinking and over engineering this set, sent me down an anxiety spiral a few hours out. Top tip: turns out a bit of food and hydration does wonders.  

The intro to this set was meant to include a dance performance stint. Dressed as an over expressive opera singer, I had planned to transform into a muchacho with moustache and all. Turns out the Studebaker stage at Lucky Star was PACKED. There was absolutely no room for dancing in front of the DJ booth, which was likely a combination of the time of the day, it pouring down heavily with rain and this stage being one of the very few covered one’s. Aaaaand a big crew showing up to hold my hand (*thank you*). So the dance performance, undressing and moustache application had to happen in the privacy of the DJ booth which was…surprise, surprise….a Studebaker vehicle. My alter ego Lurky Bertie decided to take everyone on a ride, go a little all over the show, sprinkling in some classics, before taking the dance floor dwellers down the good ol DirdyGerdi path of chunky hip thrust motivating tunes. Trying to keep it sexy at all times. 

Shout out to the massive group therapy crew support right in front of my eyes. It made navigating my second public set so much more of a breeze.
Thank you so so so much to Mels & Jonas for providing their unparalleled lush Lucky Star grounds for the next best mini festival stage at Splore…and having me play for your guests! Thank you so so much to Sarah Bronte (@msbronte), Jake Rattler (@jakerattler) and Joss (@voidvalkernz) for adding me to the lineup at an absolutely stellar time, appreciate you trusting me with this task and being so incredibly supportive. I love this crew very much and still pinch myself about how lucky I am to be part of this community.

Now enough blah blah, enjoy this little piece of rerecorded set - cause yeah we are still no good of remembering to press record and oh no I still messed up some transitions here and there. Cheers to my inner critic and perfectionist who has to bear through this journey with me. X

ALEJA | Splore Festival 2023 @ Lucky Star [[ Saturday 2 to 4 am ]]

Magic, love, gratitude, belonging and connection - those words capture some of my first Splore Festival experience. These feelings are better to be present with rather than trying to freeze moments in time. 

A massive thanks goes to Lucky Star, who entrusted me with the privilege to open The Studebaker stage(formerly known as The Portal) on Saturday night, as my mobster alter ego Tony "Tassel" Caputo. Vielen lieben Dank, Joss, Jake, Christa, Sarah, Mels and Jonas. ❤️🙏🏼 You're the ones who made this happen for me and are making me feel like the luckiest guy in the world. 🥰

Saturday night was especially memorable and full of presence. I spent the night with a small crew of old and new friends who I felt so much cohesion with that night. We were exploring different stages, vibes, genres, ways of moving our bodies, and all round hilarity. That experience escapes all description, so I'll give up right there. Much love to you, you know who you are 😘 🦥

Thank you Darling!

The Studebaker Saturday Opening | David Juno | Splore Festival '23

Not bad considering I was a last minute fill in, it was the wettest Splore of all time, and I had no monitors for first part of my set -the amazing sound crew managed to locate and instal another set without a break in the music.

Thank you to @beaconbloom, @maz_project & @antdotmusic for the advance copy of "Sky Father"- their recent release on @dawnpatrolrecords - it started raining as I played it. 🌧☔️

Mix of the Week #50: the Slowness 5

David Juno - Beat & Pathways 022

My cup remains expanded and full after Relish Festival 2025, nestled in the lush native forest of the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.

With deepest gratitude for all the beautiful souls and the land, I had the absolute delight of sharing two hours of tunes on the Friday night in the Chill n Cherish Lounge, at the far end of the Delicious Kitchen tent - the very heart and soul of Relish.

I only hit record a few tracks into the set, but since it was all an impromptu multi-genre musical journey, I didn't feel called to make any edits or rerecord the start of my set.

Enjoy!

Much love,
David <3

P.S. Thanks to Bear Heart for this beautiful photo of the kitchen tent.

Friday night in the Tea Temple at the last ever New Zealand Spirit Festival North Island was such a delight - the most present, engaging and supportive crowd I've had a in a long time, turning the Tea Temple tent into quite the portal indeed! The set recording captures the journey we all went on, starting in mellow downtempo, adding a bit of a bounce pretty soon, and taking us all the way into melodic tech house at the end, with lots of vocals. 

Viel Spaß, und dankeschön! <3

"I'm a tiny little human, and I need your touch."

Four enchanted hours inside the Moroccan Lounge at a château in France, on a rainy Monday in late September 2025. Following on from @eva-keiffenheim's gorgeous journey inside the dovecote at midnight.

A journey of the heart and soul, with many twists and turns through genres and moods I've never touched before while DJing. Ecstatic peaks and dreamy valleys. Oceanic vastness and confined rhythms. Melting, decomposing, reassembling. Constantly arriving. Stillness in motion.

Take this key. It might open the door to your heart. 🗝
