BRAZEN Closing Set 2022

Gratitude. Belonging. Collaboration. Flow state. Scintillating crowd energy. Much mud. Moist air. Fire and Water. Masculine and Feminine.

These are a few words that come to mind when I think back to my Sunday Mass set at Swing Fling, from 2-4pm on the last day of Kiwiburn 2023.

Many thanks to all the pious and devout dancers who brought their palpable energy to a very special rendition of the Sunday Mass, as well as all the nuns at Swing Fling serving pancakes, mimosas and/or spanks to those who confessed their transgressions on (or off) the paddock. Gary Boomshanker certainly got excited, letting off a burst of flames with every spank.

It turns out that sleep deprivation, a splitting headache and the sweltering heat inside Swing Fling's dome on a sunny afternoon after days of rain make a great recipe for entering flow state while DJing! I've had the best time feeding off the energy, dance moves and smiles from the crowd, playing one of my most enjoyable sets in a long time. Originally I was only supposed to play an hour but when the next DJ didn't show up I was actually stoked that I could continue tapping into flow state and weaving more songs. I ended on one song that I chose specifically as a way of showing my gratitude to Swing Fling and the larger burn community: Belong by Viken Arman. There is something truly tangible about the sense of belonging I feel with the radiant humans of Swing Fling, both at my first burn and this time, being actually part of the camp.

I got even more emotional when my friend Dani from Wānaka started drumming along to my tunes - something that I'd always dreamed of someone doing during a set. Next time we should try and get the drumming amplified and recorded, too!

In closing, I'd like to share a massive insight I had at this burn: the music I like to play (and dance to) is usually more feminine than masculine, which sustains the positive valence of a dancefloor and of the dancers, and keeps spirits uplifted. This may sound straightforward, but there's something in the simple clarity I gleaned from this that is very wholesome and satisfying.

Kia ora!

Shipwrecked Festival 2023 ***The Janky Mermaid***

I lost my darling one month ago today on the eve at the end of this Darling themed Splore. He was best friend, my lover, my partner in crime, my adventure buddy, and my number one fan.  
It's still so incredibly hard to believe he is gone.. 
I am so very thankful we got to spend such a beautiful and magical last weekend together doing what we loved with all our Lucky Star friends at Splore.  

This set was inspired by the theme and therefore Simon too.. I haven't played electro swing in years but had included some in this mix as it was the genre we bonded over when we first met in 2012.. This mix has now become more potent than ever.. 

We were both so excited that I got to play before international producer and DJ Franca B2B Madmotormiquel.. I've discovered Franca has very similar taste in music to me so she has become an absolute favorite of mine.  Seeing her and Madmotormiguel play on the Saturday eve was a highlight of the weekend for us both. You can hear Franca mixing into my last track at the end so I kept it on the recording..

Please also help Simon live on through his music and have a listen at 
https://soundcloud.com/deepsouthaudio 
I will be posting his mix soon from the Sunday at Splore on his page too..  Simon was a massive music lover, collector, tastemaker, DJ, Radio host, music reviewer and passionate advocate and supporter of House music and the Cult of Rave.  He was part of it since the very beginning 💗 

I love you so much Simon, may you rest in peace, love and music 

This ones for you my Darling Xxx
💗🎵🙏🎵💗

What a beautiful way to close Festival season 2023

Earth Beat festival was so much fun! Had a wonderful time frolicking around the grounds and being inspired by so many magical beings that made this little NZ festival one of my favourites. Great vibes, lots of conscious minded workshops and epic line-up of talented local and overseas peeps come to play.

Had an absolute blast playing on the BIgBadaBoom sound system and can honestly say that the vibes we created were nothing less of magical! Thank you so much Ariki for your support and opportunity to perform in a cosy and playful environment. Will defo keep you in the loop for future gigs x

Here it is my loves!
Enjoy the tunes xxx

Tremulant is the application of science and technology to the prevention or control of exposure to the hazards that may cause space wanderers ill health. Tremulant works to ensure that people in space work in a safe environment while experiencing the freshest sounds from planet Earth.

"I've long loved the intersection of music that is at once melodic, dark and fucking weird while still holding a groove. One of the bizarre silver linings about lockdown life was rediscovering this passion, particularly at slower, spacious tempos. So I couldn't possibly turn down the opportunity to throw together a mix for Tremulant exploring where their deeper, downtempo house vibes meet my global, radicalized acid explorations."

Tacoma, WA-based DJ/producer Devin Kelly (AKA Adlib) has been an unwavering techno activist for over 25 years. Whether it was through his humble beginnings in small town Idaho or his decade-plus residencies with the Shameless (Seattle) and Monkey Do (Los Angeles) DJ crews, he has long been at the center of the region’s dance music underground. His mixture of heady yet crowd rocking house and techno cuts earn him regular headlining spots at clubs, renegade parties and festival across the Western US and beyond. But he is best known for his co-creation of the legendary Esthetic Evolution music and arts festival and his long career as a political and community organizer. These backgrounds bring a sense of collective empowerment, resistance and celebration into all of his DJ sets and events. His newest project, “For Love and Struggle,” uses music, community and social commentary to bridge these worlds, because there are 33 revolutions on the turntable and one in the streets.

A set curated with love for the lucky star zone at the amazing Shipwrecked Festival earlier this year.  It showcases my current love of Indie, a genre which I think really suits the quirky goodness of Lucky Star.  
Think it went down pretty well,  I hope you enjoy 💗

An afternoon of low slung synths and house disco beats. The best way to start a year.

Pitch Black's 21st birthday party at Neck of the Woods, 3 March 2018. Alongside the mighty Pitch Black, The Dastardly Bounder, International Observer and FreQ Nasty dropped bass bombs all night long [some text stolen from Hodgebot]. It was AWESOME.
