AndWahn is a Tāmaki Makaurau based electronic producer and deejay. This mix he has recorded for Deep Fried exemplifies his love for the cosmic tones of jungle, showcasing trax from both the present day and the 1990s golden age (+ some 140 garage at the beginning for good measure). If you enjoy this mix, be sure to check out his CEREBRAL FLEX EP via the Big Fresh Collective, and stay tuned for a new batch of breakbeat RnB reworks coming out in the New Year.

Wellington based DESTROY WITH SCIENCE’s journey into fully live electronic music started in 2011 upon discovering just how difficult it was to perform music written on a computer in front of an audience. After a short detour speaking and performing internationally at tech conferences, he’s been keeping it local, playing many a house party and the odd summer festival. These days, using a modular / hardware synth setup sequenced by custom software running on a Raspberry Pi, he performs eartingle-infused analog techno bangers and the odd dancefloor nostalgia remix, created right there in the room on the spot.

Kid Contra is one half of Kuji with @lakeboon, and a 3rd of international power lifting federation @Insession, who have a combined benchpress of 437.5kgs.

This mix is a showcase of hopefully the full spectrum of UK Garridge, encompassing some pretty bits, breaks, bait remixes, pre-dubstep nonsense, as well as some top boy .7g coke dealer bits. There's no speedy g soz, it didn't really fit in.

Kid Contra will be playing Porridge Watson's alongside an all star cast from Whanganui and Pōneke on April 8th.

If you could book any 4 artists or acts to play somewhere of your choosing who would they be and where would it be held?

What got you started as a DJ?

How did you come up with your name?

It was a combination of things. One, I had a colleague that used call me Fluffy due to my  ridiculously curly hair. But also I wanted a name that worked with my tendency towards more multi-genre/vibe sets. I like the idea of going into "softcore" or "hardcore" mode while I'm djing. Hence Fluffcore! \m/

Favourte place to perform?

House party or Valhalla (dark and grimy yes please!)


Whats the most cringe story you can tell me about yourself?

I feel like I live in a continuous state of cringe so nothing necessarily comes out as on top for me! 

Quick fire
X - Tattoo 
Fire - Dragon 
Bass - Face
Leather - Kink

Where do you see yourself as a DJ in 5 years?

I am trying to get into producing so hopefully having a couple of songs out. Also playing overseas would be insane!

What’s your most embarrassing moment?

Have had a few crazy stitch ups but my worst is probably when I had 2 USBs which were both corrupt and had to play random songs from my friends USB… it was pretty stressful!

What’s your dream gig? Who’s playing and where?

Dream gig probably with Ivy Lab, Samurai Breaks, Sleepnet, Imanu, Eprom, Sumthin Sumthin, G Jones, STUCA, Skrillex ughhhh I could go on!! And always wanted to go to Red Rocks or a big festy like Let it Roll!

What was your first gig like? Were you nervous?

It went pretty well for my first one was extremely nervous and still do get nervous! Definitely feels better when you’re up there though :)

GRIN GETS DEEP FRIED

As a student my part time job was playing in upmarket lounges on weekends.
This mix is a love letter to my early days as a DJ. Venue owners kept requesting the blend of House and Classic Disco/Soul records as everyone could share memories together to the music and feel a connection. That’s what music is all about, no matter your walk of life. 

Those years taught me music is about bringing everyone together in the room. I can’t ship a room full of people over, but plug in your headphones and relax for an hour of soulful uplifting house and disco. It’ll give the same feeling either way. 

1. Make Love- Moodblanc
2. Ero Disco Theme- DJ Roca, Dimitri From Paris
3. Love Never Felt So Good (Dennis Kruissen Bootleg)- Michael Jackson
4. Help Me To Remember- Sugar Hill
5. Things You Want- Time Takers, Mr MNA
6. Grab Her!- Disclosure 
7. Holding On (Crackazat Remix)- Sean McCabe 
8. What You Wanna Do- Shermanology

Headlining a burgeoning wave of Naarm/Melbourne talent, nickname subscribes to a system-shredding style that is entirely his own.

Drawing from various influences, his maverick creations “bridge the gap” between destructive jungle, broken bass, and modern techno, evading any attempt to typecast. A master of manipulation, nickname’s resampled sonics dance beside penetrating percussive patterns, showcasing a palpable command of breaks. With his easy-going persona shining through his music, he delivers free-flowing and fractured pulses with a lighthearted grin.

Having found homes on Phasmid’s ‘Taipan Trax’, DJ Loui's Jupiter4, STÜM’s ‘Happy Wax’ and Mincy’s ‘Extra Spicy’, nickname’s riotous releases have rampaged floors at the hands of VTSS, Kessler, and DJ Spit, among countless others. Poised to peel the paint from club walls, his sounds have prompted airtime at Dekmantel and HÖR, with Rinse FM taking note, featuring the playful pro in their exclusive Spotify playlist. Leaving punters mesmerized, his bouncing blonde strands have topped bills across Naarm/Melbourne and Eora/Sydney.

Forever gazing forward, nickname’s music lines his rhythmic trajectory. Made for centre stage.

Jousey

Also known as Justine De Guzman, a Philippines-born, Tauranga & Dunedin-based DJ/Producer that is South Island’s hottest property with a club residency, having a number of international support shows and playing at Aotearoa’s finest festivals including Rolling Meadows, Baseline and Rhythm & Vines. She has been involved in multiple facets of nightlife, continuously working to create spaces for femme, non-binary, queer and POC artists while embracing the broad spectrum of underground electronic music, most recently with her DJ crew/events team Nörty Club alongside CANDI and Evo.

Jousey displays a technical skill set and selection prowess well beyond her years. Her unique multi-genre signature sets are heavily influenced by her Filipino cultural perspective, creating a diverse style of high-energy uptempo beats but also knows how to get in the groove of euphoric deep sounds. Her flexibility of style delivers an unconventional experience that encapsulates the atmosphere, perhaps in part due to her musical experiences outside of the DJing sphere.

From growing up in a household filled with funk, disco and soul, to moving to New Zealand, Jousey’s sound has been shaped by both her culture and her musical experiences. As a multi-instrumentalist from a young age, it was only natural for her to be drawn to the ebbs and flows of electronic music. Her sound incorporates a blend of rhythmic elements, along with unique bass lines and catchy beats, making her a perfect fit for crowd control. Strongly recommend to all fans of UK funky, garage, breaks, house, footwork jungle and other derivatives of bass music.
