Valley Of Broken Dreams

Pieter Borgh - Up Too (Spoonhead Remix)

Spoonhead is a pioneer of live psychedelic techno, progressive psy and breaks in New Zealand (NZ). His goal is to take people on deep immersive journeys away from everyday life.

The Spoonhead experience sends you awash through sonically rich and musically diverse soundscapes. Each live set is unique, showcasing his 100% original music.

Having a solid grasp of not only progressive-psy, but also breaks, gitch-hop and techno -  Spoonhead flows seamlessly between acts of different genres. This has seen Spoonhead play alongside some of the heavyweights in the music scene, including Grouch, Tom Cosm, Tetrameth, Mr Bill, Sensient and Antix. Spoonhead’s moldable live set makes for loads of fun on the dancefloor and allows plenty of room for experimentation.

Spoonhead has rocked dancefloors across Australia and NZ including mainstage sets at Aum, Psyfari, and Earth Frequency. In 2021/2022 he brought in the new year at NZ's premier psychedelic event Twisted Frequency Festival to a packed crowd.

As a teenager, the young Spoonhead (his high-school nickname) toured and performed as a lead guitarist in the punk band Mob Sharkey. Shaking bars, pubs and venues across the country. Being so young often saw him refused entry by bouncers to the events he was booked to play!

It was exposure to outdoor electronic music festivals that set a new tone and direction musically. Leaving the band to study electronic music, design and software engineering; Spoonhead honed his skills to strike a balance between artistry and precision engineering. This creative combination has culminated in critically acclaimed releases across a variety of genres. You'll find Spoonhead releases on cutting-edge record labels including WEAPON, Stone Seed and Techgnosis.

Spoonhead is always continually evolving to push the boundaries, cross genres and discover new emotive spaces through music. Recently his focus is on collaborating with other musicians with this drive - because music is better when shared!

Tarryn Hardwicke
Techno DJ | Producer
Cape Town, South Africa

Music has always been at the core of who I am — a passion that ignited at a young age and has since evolved into a lifelong commitment. As a Cape Town-based Techno DJ and producer, I have been immersed in the music industry since 2018, organising events and formerly serving as CEO of an international music magazine.

Having recently transitioned behind the decks, my performances reflect my deep connection to techno’s pulse, blending driving rhythms with atmospheric energy to create memorable dance floor experiences. I’m currently honing my skills as a producer, eager to craft tracks that embody the same passion and creativity I bring to my DJ sets.

With a solid foundation of industry experience and a growing presence as an artist, I’m continually pushing myself in both performance and production, striving to leave a lasting impact on the energy of the dance floor.

Founded in 2015, Techgnosis Records has continuously been one of the most influential forces in the psychedelic techno scene.
