SunSet at NZ SPIRIT Festival

I've been part of The Naked World family for the past year and a bit - Behind the decks, on the dance floor and as part of the crew. I love celebrating the human beauty and these events have become my favourties. 

The Sheer Ball event was OUT OF IT and I had the privilege to perform 23:30 to 1 with chunky heavy beats. Enjoy x
