Gavin began his involvement with music DJing around Nottingham as part of Giddy Fruit,  a group of like minded friends who were frequenting the deep house nights of the town in the early 90's. Inspired by the sounds of local heroes DiY and Go Tropo the Giddy crew would commandeer their own and friends' houses , cover them in decor and fill them with speakers and invite a club full of strangers to enjoy their first forays into public performance.

Over the years the Giddy Fruit sound could be found in clubs, at their own "Giddy Up" nights or guesting for fellow house heads such as Quadrant and Smokescreen. Towards the end of the 90s Gavin began to get interested in "the studio" , where all these great tunes derived. Invited along by friends Steve Walker and Jay Cowley, of house outfit To-Ka Project, Gavin contributed to two tracks on the 1999 To-Ka EP on Viva "Don't Cry", his first vinyl release.

By now Gavin had been a regular at parties thrown by Smokescreen, originally a rig from Sheffield that had relocated to Nottingham. The Giddy crew, especially Gav, Al and Lucy, would always bring their tunes down and eventually pester their way onto the decks. It was here that Gav first met Steve Lee, who had been playing for Smokescreen since his early teens and was himself starting to make his first attempts at making music. Gav and Steve found they shared a drive to make music and Gav began trekking down to the Rubber Biscuit studio with Steve to see what they could do.

Meanwhile several of Gav's co-compositions with Jay from To-Ka had found their way onto releases on his side project, Lo-Motion. Together they put out well received tracks on Tilted, Myna, DiY and Drop Music before Jay withdrew from the music scene.

Gav and Steve had by now gelled and, calling themselves The Littlemen, had their first major relase with the "Tall Order EP" on Drop Music in 2001. They then went on a run of around 20 EPs in the next 7 years, including highly respected labels such as Amenti, Lowdown, Tango, Nightshift and Aroma. Steve also founded a label, Mobile Trax, which put out a string of excellent releases between 2003-2006.

By 2008 Gavin was also making solo material and put out his debut tracks on Guess Who? and Guesthouse. He has since then put out several releases on Mobile Trax as well as EP's and remixes for labels such as Aroma, Myna, and Odour.

In 2015 Gavin relocated with his family to New Zealand where he has been putting on events under the monicker "Love Bug" as well as releasing music on local label HuHu.

2018 sees Gavin putting out a two-part release on Replay Recordings, the UK label run by his old party associates Kinky Movement as well as continuing  to push quality house onwards with Love Bug and FFWD nights in Auckland and Whangarei.

Born from a desire to play together, COMMUNICATE is the brainchild of Tāmaki Makaurau based DJs Cyril Orson and Heylady.

These two stalwarts of the New Zealand scene have been ferreting away rhythm for well over 50 years between them, and they’ve been playing for just as long. Since banding together in 2022 they have played across Aotearoa at some of New Zealand’s biggest festivals and club nights. They have quickly garnered a reputation as one of the acts to follow, with their combined passion and experience they bring an energy to the floor that is hypnotising, all-encompassing and unmistakable.

Together they run one of Auckland’s longest running club nights, Sonik Tonik, in 2024 they revived Ooh La La and they launched their XCOMMUNICATE night, which sees the duo curate a 6 hour journey that spans decades. After a huge summer playing 18 shows across the country, including some of the biggest events in NZ, the pair have spent most of this year in the studio finessing their own brand of audio alchemy. With fresh tracks and remixes ready, and the release of their own label in the coming months, they are firmly stamping their mark on NZ’s underground scene.

COMMUNICATE is a no-holds-barred exploration of four to the floor, expect underlying elements of broken beat, garage, electronica, punk and rock, and expect it all put together by two humans who can’t live without the harmony they breathe. With each set a tailored, unique experience, COMMUNICATE offers you the chance to take a trip through the vaults of two minds who collect music which has stood the test of time, as well as showcasing the freshest cuts from across the world.

Music is the one true universal language, it’s how we communicate.

We are based in Auckland, New Zealand.
Crossing the divide between Disco and Groove based Deep House . Lots of new and interesting tunes coming from us.

Timo Maas is a storyteller. For him, it's never about back-to-back bangers or brainless hits, but 
about crafting, building, teasing and eventually pleasing. From hefty concrete funk to stripped-
back and brain-altering techno via psychedelic synths stronger than any drug, he knows exactly 
what to play and when. He has done so at every major club and festival on the planet from 
Tomorrowland to Kazantip, Creamfields to Coachella, while for 17 years during the golden years 
of Ibiza's Circoloco party at DC10 he was a regular guest, which is a testament to the fact that 
he has always stayed ahead of the times. 
Two-time Grammy Award-nominated Timo has made every shade of electronic music from 
famous remixes of Azzido Da Bass and Depeche Mode, leftfield reworks of Afro-Peruvian group 
Novalima and Indonesian all-female heavy metal band Voice of Baceprot via work with pop 
greats like Paul McCartney, Madonna and Placebo. But his pure love of techno keeps him 
coming back to his most famous sound. It's all united by his ability to craft weighty bass and 
rolling drums that lock you in. To dream up unusual breakdowns, freaky vocal treatments and 
deftly designed details that sound like nothing else. He has released on majors like Warner and 
Virgin and underground staples like Stripped Down Records, Cocoon, Mobilee, Tenampa and 
Last Night On Earth. But whatever he does and wherever he does it, Timo is always 
investigating new musical grounds.

The rumors of my demise have been strongly exaggerated the real Gene Farris is back🎡 BOOKINGS: https://linktr.ee/radius_artists?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=af2c0e5e-2764-4511-a222-3939a8af1b5f

From humble beginnings behind a pair of Technics MK5s 23 years ago, Cam Harris has carved a long-standing path through the underground electronic music scene, becoming one of New Zealand’s most consistent and versatile DJs and producers.

Cam’s dedication to the craft saw him share stages with some of the world’s biggest names, including supporting Carl Cox at both PURE NZ events in 2017 and 2018, featuring heavyweight lineups with Adam Beyer, Paco Osuna, Nastia, and KiNK. He’s also brought his sound to iconic festivals such as Rhythm & Vines (2018 & 2019), Splore, Bay Dreams, Shipwrecked, and Sonorous, along with a standout warehouse appearance with Pan-Pot in early 2020.

As a producer, Cam made an international mark with the release of his debut album Gratitude (2017), a collaboration with German-based Brazilian artist Rafa Kao. The project’s lead single was pressed to vinyl for the first time in Cam’s career and became a milestone moment in his discography. His productions have since landed on respected imprints such as Second State, House 4 Life Records, Cabbie Hat Recordings, M5 Records, Tinnie House, and Arrivals Records. His debut on Huhu Records earned a spot in Traxsource’s Top 10 Jackin’ House chart in 2013, and was later recognized among House 4 Life’s best releases in 2017.

Cam’s ability to read a room and stretch deep into extended sets has taken him across the ditch to Australia, where he played a legendary 5-hour Sunday set at Revolver Upstairs in Melbourne, and later closed out the Electric Gardens official afterparty in Sydney.

After spending much of 2019 immersed in the vibrant underground of São Paulo, Cam collaborated with K.A.L.I.L., resulting in a release on Pan-Pot’s Second State – a testament to his ever-expanding global reach and sonic evolution.

With a sound rooted in groove, depth, and connection, Cam continues to push forward – whether behind the decks or in the studio – always with one foot in the underground and his ears tuned to the future.
