I will never forget the feeling of walking over to the Shipwrecked Stage as the sun simmered down in the distance and the lights flickered on all around, seeing the sea of people swarming towards the space. A space that I had the honour of pouring my heart and soul into creating in the lead up to the event. It was like seeing the art of it in its entirety spring to life in a way that set something within me on fire. I sat behind the booth overlooking it on a terrace taking it all in, so tired, so nervous yet so inspired. What would I play? I decided to do what I love to do most and start with something that mirrored the sensations I was experiencing, in this instance giving myself a sparkly and soft moment to take a breath, feel the anticipation and settle in to enjoy the ride of what ever was to come. And what came was so much FUN. 

Thank you to all who approached me afterwards to share tales of their experiences and to all that were there moving and grooving and to everyone that contributed to this set happening in all shapes and forms. Thank you to Sanoi for creating the intro with me. To the musicians who created the tracks played, THANK YOU. 
Give them some love, set list below xxx 

Biggest of love to the @shipwreckednz Crew for providing this incredible platform and to everyone who is supporting our scene!!

Mia Kober |  Main Stage Friday Night @ Shipwrecked Festival 2024

In anticipation of the upcoming Lucky Star Variety Show Festival in New Zealand, I took a nostalgic dive into this year's recordings. I stumbled upon a spontaneous Saturday evening set I had the privilege of playing at their end-of-season party earlier this year. This moment holds a special place in my heart, I’m excited to share it as both a tribute to the summer that was and a glimpse of the vibrant NZ summer that’s just around the corner.

This set was performed in honour of our very dear friend @dylanc as a gift to him on his birthday with selections that reminded me of him and tracks to make him smile.

Recorded in Taranaki May 2024.

A thanks to the Lucky Star Crew for all the shenanigans.

Pic: I'm not sure now who sent this to me from the sunrise moment but I thank you!

Mia Kober | Saturday @ Lucky Star Extravaganza End Of Season 2024

Usually I don't listen to my set recordings, but this year as I was on my home from Wonderfruit I decided to give my recording from 2022 a listen and it quickly became apparent to me that... it's a banger.  It weaves together several riyoon eras. It revisits my very first live set ever at Jai Thep 2018, going to pre-thailand riyoon (2015-2017) and modern riyoon 2020+. Oldskool listeners will recognise old stories woven into currents affairs.

To prepare for this gig Polygon flew me out to London a month before the gig to the L-Acoustics UK studio. Davey and the Matts helped me map individual tracks from my live set to the Polygon's system, which then allows the sound engineers to take individual sounds and send them into the spatial 360 sound system as I'm playing live.

It was a crazy process, but hearing my tracks come alive in 3d space with help of talented engineers was worth it, even if just for that one gig.
Since I first saw Polygon in 2018, it has been a little dream of mine to play it and that dream has come to life. I'm feeling incredibly grateful to be able to share my creations on increasingly advanced sound systems, letting me touch people's hearts in more ways than I ever thought I could. May we have more opportunities to feel and heal each other, through music, art, movement. May we have another magical dance around the sun in 2025. Wherever you might be.
~thank you~ 
~i love you~

In September of 2024 I got to play with @shubostar, one of those artists whose music I've been listening to and weaving into my sets for years. Such a treat! 

To offer appropriate direct support, I voyaged to explore what 'cosmic disco' (a genre that Shubostar identifies with) sounds like through the lens of Asymmetry. As it always is with music genre re-interpretations, my set sounds nothing like the classic definition of 'disco' and maybe only somewhat 'cosmic' -- but I am so thrilled with how it turned out and the crowd absolutely loved it 😊

The set begins gently and ramps up over time, traveling through midtempo, indie dance, bouncy house, and other sonic flavors I'll pass on trying to put into words (--but send me your words!!). It's also filled with warm guitar sounds I adore 🎸
The energy is upbeat and dynamic, and I've been enjoying listening to it when I need to focus (e.g. working or driving) or to bring warm groovy ambiance into a space (e.g. hosting friends) ✨

Love love love to find inspiration in different corners of the music world and to be influenced by the artists I admire.

Let me know in the comments what you like! 
(and in DM's what you don't like ;) )

Asymmetry - Shubostar @ Public Works 2024

When Open Air asked me to play at their event at the kooky and fun mini golf sculpture park Carlucci Land I jumped at the chance.
I had lots of fun building a vibe for the afternoon dance-floor, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. x

Borrega & Nadeya (violin) Garbicz Festival 2024@ Wine Bar

Our chameleon #76 Narfux puts together an eclectic, smooth-flowing set that brings classic deep downtempo into conversation with touches of dubstep and other musical corners. It’s a subtle ride—unhurried, textured, and full of small shifts that keep things interesting without ever pushing too hard.

Through spectral light and distorted paths, the journey approaches the fracture point. Tension gives way to intent — a step into the unknown with eyes open.
