Aaron Stringer. LO-FI Presents EXPLORATIONS 50

Born a Kiwi but raised in the UK, Suno was brought up on a sultry diet of John Peel, Hip-hop and his Mother’s Motown collection. Buying and spinning since the heady-housey days of 1987 he has a wide taste for all things suitably nod-worthy; from deep disco basslines, classic electro and assorted 4/4 acid driven antics. 

Apart from speaking about himself in the third person, Suno runs an independent non-profit radio station called Planet Sauce out of Auckland, NZ. Celebrating all things underground it has a growing global audience, supported by some amazing musical talent. Music matters.

Deep. Emotive. House & Techno.
Enjoy the music!

Andy Cronk, also known as KnowonespockeT, is a versatile artist who excels as a producer, DJ, and electronic music enthusiast. Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Andy's passion for music extends beyond his performances, as he has a unique foundation formed from dedicated countless hours to crafting his own unique sound in the studio.

Andy's dedication and talent have led to successful releases on renowned labels such as HuHu Music (NZ), Greenhouse Recordings (UK), and Midwest Hustle (USA). One of his standout achievements was the breakout single 'All Day of My Life' released under his alias KnowonespockeT, in collaboration with his long-time friend Inertia Soul. Additionally, his contribution to HuHu Music's EP 'K'rd Rollers' alongside artists like Littleman Big (UK), Cameron Harris, Sean Murray, and Marcus Morgan topped the charts on Traxsource and Stompy, remaining in the number one spot for several weeks.

Andy's journey as a DJ began at the vibrant 'Tikki Hut' in Auckland's viaduct Harbour, where he honed his skills before gracing the decks of some of the city's finest nightclubs. Sharing stages with local heavyweights such as Andy Vann, Chris Reed, Greg Churchill, Matt Drake, and Bevan Keys, he left an indelible mark on events like 'Hu's got Phat Beats,' 'Summer Sessions,' 'Electric Orange,' and the infamous 'The Bunker' inside 'Ink' with The Lazy Sound System. Notably, he held a two-year residency at 'Audiomontage' on Fhloston Paradise, Ponsonby Road.

Andy's passion for curating exceptional experiences led him to organise his own events. His initial collaboration with friend George Barker (Boznich) gave birth to 'Half a World Away,' a highly successful series held at the Fitzroy Lounge Bar. Continuing his entrepreneurial spirit, Andy embarked on another project called 'THE DIAMOND CUTTERS,' which showcases Auckland's most iconic talent and signature sound DJs, including Vann, Webb, and Reed. For over a year, he has held a residency at Ponsonby's Hoppers Garden Bar, where he seamlessly blends disco, nu-disco, soul, and deep house with live local musicians.

Continuing his artistic ventures, Andy introduced the MUSHROOM GROOVES pop-up series, which has garnered significant success at various venues. In this series, he collaborates with partner Chris Reed and invites special guests to deliver a laid-back groove experience, accompanied by bespoke projection mapping that sets the event apart.

Looking ahead, Andy is entering a new phase of his career, exploring the realm of live fusion in a low-slung mode. By incorporating a live drummer, keyboardist, vocalists, and an MC into his DJ sets, he creates a free-flowing jam session atmosphere with carefully selected tracks that emphasise space and groove. This exciting endeavour is sure to captivate audiences, so keep an eye out for Andy's future endeavours.

Andy's signature sound is a testament to his years of development and fine-tuning. He possesses a remarkable ability to set the mood just right, whether it's through catchy bar groove vibes, deep funky grooves, or jacking big underground numbers. His expertise lies in selecting tracks that instinctively make you tap your feet and nod your head, effortlessly immersing listeners in his musical journeys. Regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date, Andy has an innate talent for finding the perfect vibe in any room, guaranteeing an unforgettable experience for all who encounter his performances.
