@back2backdjbattle 2024 CHAMPION!!!!

Never in a million years did I think I would be apart of something like this let alone win.

What @fadedsocietyofficial (Cat) and the whole crew behind this competition have done not only for me but the whole DJ community here in London is a god send. Connecting music lovers and like minded people together in a healthy and supportive environment is so sick to see and I’m so glad to be apart of it.

This competition pushed my limits like no other gig or club night has done before, putting countless hours into prep and digging and refining every little detail to fit a brief whilst also showcasing who you are as a DJ was such a stimulating challenge.

Shoutout to all the DJ’s that competed, you guys didn’t make it easy. I was honoured to play along side you and would be honoured to do it again.

Shoutout the homies that pulled up and screamed their lungs out for me. literally couldn’t have done it without you I love you all.

Last but not least. Stay posted here. A few exciting things coming up in the future I would love to share with you all… 👀

Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏

Wellingtons night life has always had its ebbs and flows long before i was on the scene in 2020, but it seems in recent years the decline has grown more and more drastic.

With restrictions on nightlife rules and regulations, businesses closing down due to the growing pressure of financial demands and young people simply not being able to afford a night out like they used to in Wellington, it begs the question on when everyones gonna catch a break.

In saying that though, not all hope is lost. There are many people in Pōneke that are still providing spaces for the vast community of Wellington ravers to dance, express themselves and listen to dope fkn music.

RED SQUARE CLOSING

A bittersweet time playing at @redsquare_bar before they closed their doors for good.

An honour to give back one last time to a street that gave so much to me.

RIP RED SQUARE
RIP BLAIR ST

INTUITION: Vol. 1 w/ @broderbeats

Insanely keen to twist some knobs back on home turf this weekend. Courtenay Place is where it all started for me, and I’ve got so many fond memories from that time.

Stoked to get the call to come and open for one of Wellington’s quickest-rising names, alongside some great homies of mine and in a stunner venue too.

Makes me a proud Wellingtonian seeing all the talent that’s emerged from the capital over the last couple of years and I know for a FACT there’s so much more to come.

Fizzing to share all my market research abroad with my day 1’s. Bring you dancing shoes 🫵
