Hilit Kolet feat Juliet Mendoza - Sunbed Tripper

Mixed sets - live or otherwise

AUM New Year's Festival 2022. This is my set from the Kānuka stage on new years eve, recreated in the studio (because I forgot to record it).

The Kānuka stage is the underground house and techno zone at AUM, a nightclub vibe surrounded by trees which runs for two days and nights. It was my debut set with the LO-FI Productions takeover crew and I brought my brand of oddball house, ethnic rhythms and high tech soul.

Music by Cirque Du Soleil, Ken Ishii, Orlando Voorn, Carlos Nilmmns, Carl Craig, Miss Kittin & The Hacker, Glenn Underground, Urban Blues Project and more.

Aum Festival 2022

AUM Festival 2022 (Kanuka Stage)

The 2024 festival season was filled from start to finish with good times, incredible music and amazing humans across all the wonderful events we played. This season we were asked by Earth Beat Festival to run a stage takeover right at the end of the season, what a way to cap it all off!

We put together a lineup the we are incredibly proud of; it was diverse, fun, filled with talented musicians and didn't cater to just one type of four to the floor. We asked our artists to record if they felt comfortable, we are very grateful that most of them did. We are also very grateful they are all allowing us to release their work.

Right before our set we asked one of Auckland's longest-serving DJs to play. We've both been friends with Rob Warner for years. His knowledge of music and the scene is unrivalled by anyone we know. He worked tirelessly to ensure Auckland's clubs were able to stay open past 3am when the government pulled back the operating hours, he sits of the UNESCO Auckland City of Music board, and he endlessly supports all the crews running events in the City of Sails. 

Rob was one of the first people we asked to play our stage, his professionalism, musical bandwidth and track selection is second to none. Rob warmed up for us on the Kaipara Stage at Earth Beat last year, so it was a no-brainer for us to have him do the same again this year. 

In his words:

"It’s always a pleasure to DJ at NZ festivals. I have a goal to always bring something a bit different, even compared to the great artists I get to DJ alongside. At Earth Beat I played my favourite time of night, the crossover from day-to-night, where ethnic and tribal sounds are in their element. What a great time and vibe to do it with a great group of people loving the COMMUNICATE takeover.

Going with more tribal-themed music was an easy choice for a dance floor in such beautiful surroundings."

So sit back and enjoy our good friend doing what he does best. COMMUNICATE proudly presents: Rob Warner.

Rob Warner - 2nd November 2024

JASMINE

I played a full vinyl set of classic underground house and techno at the Silent Studios 'Locals Weekender' in Auckland in July. The event theme was "This-Is!". The music I played was all from the golden era of the mid 1990s to early 2000s.

This was one of my favourite gigs I've played in a long time. It was awesome to hear music from a special period played on a great sound system, and to see how well it still worked for new dance floor generation.

We planned to record the sets but it didn't quite work out so I digitally recreated my set here from start to finish using mostly vinyl rips. All but 2 records I played are here so it's just like the live set, but with better mixing (obviously) and minus the couple of record skips that happened - which are always part of the fun of playing live vinyl.

Cheers to those who came and danced, and to Silent Studios for having me - especially the other DJs on the night who all rocked: Logan Baker, Kirsty Hargreaves, This.Is.Ross, and Reverse Panda.

Music by Danny Tenaglia, Oscar G, Deep Dish, Carl Craig, Underground Sound of Lisbon, Ananda Project, Jephté Guillaume, The Daou, The Youngsters, DJ Q and more.

COD3 QR label showcase on George FM on 14 Oct 2025. (Auckland, New Zealand)

COD3 QR is a broad-format record label run by French techno legend Laurent Garnier and UK techno wiz Oliver Way (from Detroit Grand Pubahs). It's quite unique in that it releases almost monthly EPs each with a handful of tracks spanning different styles from future jazz to techno to electro or bass.

This model is perfect for curious, adventurous music lovers and has unearthed some amazing emerging artists for me like French artist Voltaire, and given modern icons like Kmyle and Carlos Nilmmns an outlet for their wacky sonic creations. COD3 QR is one of the best labels for discovery of new sounds and artists and well worth checking their Bandcamp - especially for their limited vinyl releases.

Tracklist:
Carlos Nilmmns - Riviera
K 'Alexi Shelby - Flame (Laurent Garnier Edit)
ProOne79 - Lysergic
Manuel-M - A Night in Charleroi
Hilit Kolet feat Juliet Mendoza - Sunbed Tripper
Manuel-M - Take
Kmyle - Drill
Onur Ozman - Flash Back
Voltaire - Wave Function
DCLVIII OFC - Countdown
