Here's my closing set from Taniwha's Den 2025. 
Massive thanks to Grunter, Leon and all the crew who worked tirelessly to bring together yet another amazing festival. Big love to the Den Faithful for turning out to my set after a long weekend of dancing under the canopy. Thanks to Dannyboy for capturing the recording and to my Den family for their unwaivering support. 

Much Love. Hape.

There are just a couple of parties that I play enough times to make a completely specific set for each time, and make it my absolute best.

One is Lightning in a Bottle, which I'm not a resident of but have played 7 of the last 8 fests.

I've prepared for many different time slots at LIB, always looking at this large and spectacular festival as one where people primarily want to dance and have fun.

So I ramp up my funk and vocals (usually playful but i did have one protest lyric in this year's - you can't miss it).  

I lean on the uplifting side, spend a lot of time choosing music and organizing a playlist so i can play appropriately for my time slot and come back thinking it was one of the best sets I've ever played.  

Something that was different for me this year is I took a year and a half off from buying new music prior to LIB in order to reporganize my collection, which now spans 30 years.

Sometimes it's better to understand better what you already have before adding to a massive music collection.

But I never intended my break to be that long!  It just kept going.  And I had a couple of hard drive farts in the middle which didn't help.  

But anyway,  I started buying music again about two months ahead of LIB because I wanted to play an all new music set,  and I also wanted to to  take the time to understand the new music very well.

The problem with playing all new music at a gig is that I don't always take the time to understand it well enough to know if it's as good as the music I already have.  It's fun because it's new... but is it really adding something?

So this time I really took the time to select tracks - I was picky AF!  
This time I spent a lot of time also to play with my tracks, mix them in different ways and really try to only include tracks that were blowing my mind, so that I could give that to the dance floor.

Also spent a lot of time on tagging producers in this description - hope it helps you to discover some great new artists and music!

DONT BLINK - YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE

Here is most of my mixes spanning the last 20 years. There are more but they were made for specific people for special occasions, you'll find a couple of those in here too, but mostly I've left it up to those I made mixes for to be in charge of spreading them if they so chose.

Pretty much my input into the culture and my only legacy. Hope it helps you get to know me a bit deeper.

Much love, Hape.
