Late To The Party @ SIR: Initiation (DEC2K22, Il Brutto, AKL)

The sell-out phenomenon that is SIR - the Techno event where you can feel SHAMELESS, INTIMATE, and RESPECTED - returned on Apr 21st, with SIR: POWERPLAY hosted at Il Brutto, AKL. 
What a night it was!

This is my opening set heavily inspired by the 80s revival sound especially the dark italo/dark disco flavours then taking our crowd into techno proper. 
This was my most technical set to date with close to a dozen live mashups - let me know what you liked!

Closing Techno Set @ SIR: Overload (2K23JUL, Whammy Bar, AKL)

Live set recorded at SIR: Slap It Ruff in Auckland, New Zealand. 

Absolutely fantastic party. Aucklanders, get to this if you haven't already. I had an absolute blast. Thanks SIR crew.

LIVE @ SIR: Overload  / Auckland NZ Aotearoa / July 2023

After an incredible NZ Debut set performed by DJ Feisty it was time for me to pick up the pace. This set includes some old dance classics, nasty and suggestive tracks that will make you wanna jump, bump and grind! Enjoy!

Live @ SIR: OVERLOAD (Whammy, AKL, 2K23 JUL)

Welcoming a new addition to the SIR family, Gwendolyn, at the 4th installment of SIR - TECHNOIR - on 24th Nov 2023 at Il Brutto, AKL!

► Gwendolyn also known as the Sparkly Weapon of Bass Destruction has been driving Bass for the last 5 years not only in the Auckland club scene but in the north island festival world.
With House and Techno being her temple she has many sermons to inspire and bring back the faith that you have been aching for.
Having played AUM, Spectrum, Shipwrecked, Brazen, Ignition, Kiwiburn, Earthbeat, Naked in the trees, and such events as The Naked World Undie Parties, Beat Addicts and Flower Child she definitely understands the ingredients needed to whip up a dancefloor and keep it pushing.
Gwendolyn is an Intersex Transgender Performer whose dancefloor is a safe place for all to express and be their authentic self and be seen, no fake desired or required.
So if you want to let loose and enjoy the non stop energy being sent from Gwendolyn as she dances her way through the set then join her and all the other dedicated bass junkies at her next set.
And remember she loves you, as you, how you arrive...
Gwendolyn - Your Sparkly Weapon of Bass Destruction..

Late To The Party @ SIR pres. FREAKSHOW! (NOV2k24, Double Whammy!, AKL)

"Sound weaving magic sh!t" 🎧🎛️🧙

Late To The Party is a Naarm/Melbourne-based DJ crafting genre-fluid sets that traverse techno, house, italo and beyond, always shaped by the architecture of the night and the energy of the floor. Whether opening, riding peak-time tension, or closing with intent, his sets unfold with layered blends, unexpected turns, and multi-deck mashups that blur the familiar and the obscure.
He’s performed for the ravers across Aotearoa and Australia, including headline sets at the legendary EXTRA DIRTY (Sydney), packed rooms at Inflation (Melbourne), and staple venues like Whammy Bar, Il Brutto, and Neck of the Woods in Auckland since 2022.
As co-founder of SIR (@slapitruff) with @MBVR, an unapologetically inclusive techno event series that’s sold out nearly every edition, Late To The Party is an active ally in the queer music scene. He regularly collaborates with other LGBTQIA+ focused collectives and events, supporting safer, more expressive dancefloors for all.
