Last night at our beloved after hours, @anurahawaii, was such a bittersweet moment.
Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed out. A special thank you to @soundsexy for an inspirational sunrise set! 🌅
Anura, Aether, and Asylum are all very special places in our hearts. Everyone who created these spaces and was involved in their development deserves a huge THANK YOU. Without you, none of these moments would have been possible.
So many DJs learned and grew at Anura. Learning how to hold the floor for three hours on a Sunday morning is no easy feat. I’ve watched so many DJs and artists eveolve at the Afters and become formidable forces in the scene.
Just remember, family: this is not the end of the AFTERS. We love you all and stay tuned for announcements!❤️#hawaii #anurahawaii #housemusic #club #rave

Okay story time - this idea was something I kind of dreamed up while I was on the road. I knew I wanted to film a dj set in New Zealand I just didn’t know what kind of set I wanted it to be. I’ve always been a bit shy or concealing of the music I made. I’m not 100% sure why but it might have something to do with the fact that I really do make music for ME. (it’s a plus that yall fw w it fr) I started DJing when I was 15. Virtual Dj to club standard CDJ pipeline is crazy. That being said I have djed in so many clubs and venues and genre specific nights and different vibe parties and festivals and they always asked different things of me. I tried to embody whatever vibe I had to create sets for. This made me learn about so many different kinds of music and genres some of which I had never heard of or really listened to. This grew my palette and when I started producing I knew I wanted to be able to make music that fit any style or theme that I wanted. I was really infatuated with being able to start at a 73bpm hip hop track and work my way up to a 140-170 up tempo garage or bass track. It’s so cool to move with the vibe of a party or function with that kind of fluidity, playing my edits or originals along the way.

That’s where this set comes from. A little bit of my favorite tunes, a lot of unreleased originals, edits, collabs, remixes, and mashups. When I finished the playlist for this set, I had over 115 songs that I MADE. Sprinkle in some of my favorite tunes and the end result is this mix. 

I’ll do a deeper dive on the equipment I used in a later video but this is the most mobile set up I’ve ever played around with and there are definite some mistakes but it’s raw, unfiltered, subtoll. 🙏

Enjoy 🤍

Full mix on YT this Wednesday. ✨

What a night! @djtonyh507 lit up @anurahonolulu with an unforgettable Hawai’i debut. From start to finish, the energy was off the charts, and the dance floor stayed packed until 6:30 AM. Tony H brought exactly what we needed—pure fire and nonstop vibes. Huge thanks to him for delivering a night we’ll be talking about for a long time. Here’s a recap of the epic experience! 📸📸 @trystnemiyoko
