Bene Shanks is a multi-talented instrumentalist who has weaved both acoustic and electronic threads through the fabric of Aotearoa's diverse musical scene since his teenage years.

Making sound waves for the likes of Che Fu and The Rooftop Collective hasn’t stopped him developing an ability to weave magic carpets out of electronic materials.
His experience floating between the hemispheres of band mentality and solo masher-upperer has led him beyond remixing top 40 hits into songs he thought he wanted to hear at festivals, to actually playing festivals.

You can expect Bene's tour bus through sound-space to be genre-bending, but thankfully physics has explained this through the theory of quantum superposition.

emma tree is infinitely entranced by the magic created when two tracks blend perfectly together...  

She loves to craft sets that encompass a theme or poetically weave a story.  Her musical taste is eclectic and continuously evolving yet her 1980s nostalgia and past life inspired by the Indie band scene often influence her mixes... 

Whatever the genre, Ms tree is always drawn to the fresh and unusual, lush or quirky melodies, hypnotic grooves and deep resonating bass. 
She always endeavors to make her sets interesting, emotive and uplifting...

To be a successful house music producer, you have to make tracks that DJs want to play. And, to be a good DJ, you have to play music that inspires people to move their asses. Simple in theory, but not in execution. Wally Callerio’s inherent ability to do both — and to do both well — has served him justly over the last two decades, establishing him as an artist with talent, vision and staying power in a genre that has navigated tumultuous highs, lows and growing pains in between.   

With over 30 years of experience behind the decks and in the studio under his belt, Callerio has put out a remarkable 250 original tracks and remixes on over 50 labels worldwide. Most recently, his music has been released on such respected heavyweights as Defected, Cajual, Farris Wheel Recordings, Grin Music and Sampled Recordings. In addition, Callerio has earned accolades under his alter ego moniker Poncho Warwick, consistently ranking as a top annual pick for best chillout artist on Beatport.  

In his role as Music Supervisor for “Unconscious Therapy,” a documentary released in April 2016 that chronicles the rise and evolution of house music via the lens of Frankie Knuckles and his fellow innovators, Callerio took on the crucial responsibility of​ ​ licensing and curating the film’s soundtrack.​ ​ He is also a featured artist in the documentary, alongside Mark Farina, Derrick Carter, Masters at Work and a bevy of other house icons.   

Possessed of an entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to embrace change, Callerio has earned and enjoyed enduring success as both an artist and label-owner. Los Angeles-based Dufflebag Recordings, which Callerio launched in 1998, has been churning out deep and funky grooves suffused with soulful vocals since its inception, and the label boasts an impressive roster of artists that includes Demarkus Lewis, Manjane, Alysha Kid, Corduroy Mavericks, JT Donaldson, Natural Rhythm, Ryan Truman and R&B legend Jon B. under his moniker Jah Ques.   

For Callerio, house music still holds just as much untapped potential as it did when he first cut his teeth on the genre in the early nineties — and he’s never been one to rest on his laurels when his passion is at stake and opportunity abounds. “I don’t try to predict the future of house, I try to give it my imagination and push with my music,” Callerio says. “I try to inspire people into making and playing the right stuff.” That drive and openness have kept Callerio prolific, relevant and on top of his game — and better still, are a promise of many good things yet to come.   

Italian duo Neverdogs are two decades strong into their tenure within the global underground dance music scene. Renowned for their extended feel-good and uplifting sets, full of sensual tones, sultry atmospheres and upbeat House & Techno, Bamboleo Records frontmen Tommy Paone & Marco De Gregorio continue to set a precedent for cutting-edge avant-garde dance cuts.

With Tommy inspired by a mix of Punk, Electro, Experimental Rock, ‘70s/’80s + more, and Marco from the likes of Depeche Mode, Yazoo and ‘80s House, the Neverdogs blueprint draws influence from the likes of Larry Levan, Tony Humphries, Masters At Work, Satoshi Tomii, Deep Dish, Ralf, Ricky Montanari and Flavio Vecchi among others.

Rising to fame through a celebrated residency at Amnesia Ibiza with renowned Ibiza brand Music On from its beginning until 2011, Neverdogs continue to appear across the world’s best-known festivals, brands and club spaces. Some of their most recognised appearances have been Destino Ibiza, Studio 338 London, Pacha Ibiza and Fabric London - where they recently celebrated 20 years of Neverdogs with one of their increasingly popular Bamboleo showcases. When considering leading electronic imprints, Neverdogs have become almost inevitable.

Releases on the likes of elrow Music, Mindshake, Bamboleo, Tamango, Snatch!, Moan, Sanity, Blackflag, Deeperfect, Roush, Avotre and many more continue to cement their prominence through high-quality dancefloor-focused subterranean club records.

In 2019, Neverdogs released their ‘Details’ album on Bamboleo Records. The thirteen-track body of work goes way beyond the dancefloor, with Tommy and Marco describing it as “13 tracks that we think not only the people in the industry will enjoy, but also everyone in the music scene.” The album offers a kaleidoscopic journey into the profound and cultured depths of Neverdogs’ musical creativity, providing a variety of moods and soundscapes for every listening scenario conceivable.

Neverdogs’ music is a constant complement to performances of many of the industry’s most respected tastemakers, including Marco Carola, Yaya, Joseph Capriati, Jamie Jones, Dubfire, Apollonia, Paco Osuna, Loco Dice, Luciano, Guti, Cuartero, Kenny Dope, Davide Squillace, The Martinez Brothers, wAFF, Richie Ahmed, Oxia and many more.

Using Neverdogs’ sterling global reputation as a vessel, their Bamboleo Records brand also continues to attain an ever-growing fanbase. Through impressive releases from Reelow, Matteo Gatti, WLAD, Sebastian Ledher, , George Smeddles, Wax On Mare St. and many more, including Tommy & Marco themselves, and label showcases in major cities globally, Bamboleo is fast-becoming a celebration of cutting-edge underground House music and unforgettable
dancefloor memories.

As they look to the next decade of their journey, Tommy and Marco remain focused on elevating the Neverdogs and Bamboleo concepts to new heights, amassing an increasing global appeal and an ever-growing fanbase of unique underground music appreciators.
