Live DJ set, warts and all. Raw and unmastered. Organic selecting. 134bpm+ 3 x CDJ3000+DJM9A - 01/07/2023
Last Saturday, some time before I played my set at AUM Next Level: The Dome, Dad popped in to my head and we talked a while. Standing alone under the sky, slightly away from everyone, we talked mainly about forgiveness. I knew he was leaving, and let him know that he was clear for take-off. That our work here was done. I felt him leave. A short while later, I stepped on to the stage and did my mahi. Working the energies on the floor, sharing smiles and deep joy with everyone. A special moment.
This is that set.

Played in front of 600 beautiful souls at the last outdoor AUM midwinter gathering, AUM Next Level - The Dome. The event was held at the AUM festival site, under 2 huge geodesic domes with incredible visuals, lights and of course sound.
What a vibe.
RIP Dad

Shine on

MOSS bio

MOSS has been around a whole lot longer than the name. The sound you can expect from MOSS is simply the slower, rolling techno, breaks and glitch music as always mixed progressively and dripping in the psychedelic that Aum Productions resident and owner `Ferksta’ has been doing (aside from his psytrance music) since he began playing a long long time ago. Preferring long engaging sets when everyone is in `that place’, MOSS is his salute to all things progressive and bass heavy. To all things dance music... when it's just the dj and you locked in a timeless grove. His salute to the indefinable... the glorious. The real moments that make the dance floor so special. MOSS sets have been played all over the world and now this sound has a name.

Twisted, big, fat & hairy progressive psychedelic techno.

MOSS - micromix

A few tunes from my bag when I had the honor of playing some techno for Auckland's meatiest underground techno family... 
GEARED. The party was called `Transmission'. Saturday, 17 August 2019 - AUCKLAND - New Zeland
It was rammed. Hot, and vibing like a mother fucker! Epic DJs all night long. So much fun to play...

As for this mix, as always, raw, unmastered, one go and uploaded. In fact, I haven't even heard the mix yet as this is uploading! so good luck yeah. THIS IS NOT A CHILL SET. Buckle up. Just a few tunes from a few producers I love. A bit bouncy, a bit psychedelic, a bit squelchy, a bit samply and a lot meaty. 
Good solid driving tunes. 
Recorded 03/09/2019
RANE TT57L + 2 x CDJ2000NXS
WAV of course.

Catch me and the tightest international and local Techno, house & psytrance line-up in New Zealand this new years eve at AUM.

Geared - Sampler mini-mix -  Wav

November 2019 saw the 20th anniversary of the infamous Velvet `the Night of Sumptuous Decadence'. Held at Flying Fish Studios in Ponsonby, it was a stunning night to remember. (Check the after video here: https://www.facebook.com/AUMproductionsNZ/videos/541874483029485/)

Philippa, a long standing and massively loved Velvet DJ lives in Berlin and couldn't make it to that show... So as a tribute to Velvet and the times we shared, Philippa very kindly made this exclusive mix, just for us. 
Little did everyone know at that point that we had booked her for AUM Festival later that year, where she wooed a crowd in excess of 1500 people on our White Stag stage... so all was well.

Keep your ears and eyes peeled for Velvet 2020 when this covid19 current situation clears up. We will as always keep raising the bar in your house music experience. In the mean time subscribe to our newsletter to keep informed

PHILIPPA - VELVET mix Nov 2019

In moments when I lose myself amidst the internal confusion. As we do from time to time.  I remember who is around me. Always. I know, that when i open my eyes again you will be there by my side. All of you. With all of your faces. With your honest love.

Slow deep dark rolling underground  progressive psychedelic  techno, house and trance.  

Personally speaking unless you have 2 hours to commit and a stereo r headphones up to the job , i wouldn't think this is the mix for you. 
Suffice to say, I thought of ALL of you during this freestyle.

*oh and yeah... it's 2 hours long to represent the quadruple timeline of a 30 in white out. You either know what i mean, or you will...

Bom!

MARCH 2020

*yes, its a raw unedited, un-mastered spontaneous mix. It has a blemish or two.

White out

Beginning on 25 March, the Alert Level was moved to Level 4, putting New Zealand into a nationwide lockdown.
It was a confusing, scary time. 

Progress - Lock down Pt 1
Deep, moody, brooding progressive house (for a change)...
Un-mastered raw mix - on the fly... literally a mix in my lunch break whilst I work on the events planned to run later this year.

Progress - Lock down Pt 1

Ferksta (AUM)
Fat, chunky, emotive, and progressive music with a psychedelic twist defines Ferksta’s sound. Expect lush organic soundscapes and atmospheric journeys intertwined with driving basslines, a style characterised by blind “that'll do” track selections and a madman’s approach to pancake layering of tracks. Ferksta is known for his quirky personality, rainbow coloured clothing and crushed velvet shorts. They’re really soft to the touch. Confused yet? If you’re planning to be in front of the speakers when he plays, buckle up. It’s going to get weird.

A recognizable figure in our local dance industry as the creator and co-owner of AUM Festival, and the legendary Velvet parties, and playing music for over 300 years. Had to read that bit again didn't you?

Shine on beautiful souls. See you on the next trance floor
