If I can't listen to music, I feel as if I'm being punished.
Thanks for sharing your talents and passion.

Born on a kiwifruit orchard in New Zealand, Flex Webster lives and breathes music. A DJ, producer, and record collector with a career spanning almost three decades, his journey has taken him around the globe.

During a recent stint in London, Flex became a regular at venues such as Old Street Records, The Blues Kitchen, and The Cause. He also hosted a show on Music Box Radio UK and appeared as a guest on stations including THREADS.

His extensive discography features original releases like Changes EP and Heaven Bound EP, production credits on the Shared Soul EP, and sought-after DJ edits in the acclaimed Discõs Universál series. In 2023, Flex collaborated with Australian label That’s Not An Edit to curate the first New Zealand edition of their compilation series, contributing a standout rework of Letta Mbulu’s Nomalizo.

Flex’s sound reflects the soulful rhythms of the African diaspora, weaving together Afrobeat, Latin, Jazz, Funk, Reggae, Disco, Gospel, Balearic, and House into a rich, worldly tapestry.

A career highlight came in 2005 when he attended the Red Bull Music Academy in Seattle with Isaac Aesilli, where he had the chance to connect with legends Steely & Clevie, Questlove, Waajeed, Osunlade, and Theo Parrish. More recently, he has shared the stage with Palms Trax, Recloose, Chaos in the CBD, Flamingo Pier, Julien Dyne, Tall Black Guy, and Sumo Sui (Canopy Records).

Flex has returned to Bali to share his magic with the island of the gods once again. In the past he played regularly at venues like Potato Head, La Favela, Jenja, Straw Hutt, Mantra, 707 and Warehouse 82, and now he’s ready to pick up where he left off.

Kim is a singer/songwriter based in Wellington.  His music music is reminiscent of Elliot Smith, The Sundays and various Finn family members.  Half told stories, hung off melodies that are hard to shake... Kim's brand of bitter-sweet folk/pop music is just plain pretty.

Kim has been writing, recording and performing his music for over 20 years.  Since an intense two years working with his previous band "Jennifer Says", Kim has been distracted by his work as a comedian and variety entertainer, but he has returned to the musical side of the industry with his debut solo album Cold Since June (2010)

Jennifer Says was active from 1999 until 2001.  During that time, they played extensively around Wellington, placing 2nd in the Temple Bar singer songwriter grand final.  The band also appeared live on "Space" (TV2) with the song Right Here.
 
Kim's song "Metronome"  sat at number 1 on Palmberston North's Vision 100 FM, and was featured on the South Pacific Pictures series "Mercy Peak" (2001 - 2003).

The self produced album sports a possible over indulgence of synths and loops, but the result is a rich and vibrant collection of smartly crafted pop/folk songs.

Kim has already largely completed a follow up album, (his third, including Jennifer Says' "Regular Tones" (2000) ) with much more of a stripped back folk feel to it, focusing on guitars and vocals.
