And last introduction before we get to the Djs and Techs is Ed Zuccollo. Ed has been making music all his life and is a classical trained pianist which you can hear in the Jungle he makes under the name Zuke. His jungle music sounds like a Symphonic Orchestra sometimes, layered with beautiful crafted melodies and hard and bass heavy Rhythms. If you are into Jungle go and check Zuke out. He has also been playing keyboards for bands such as The Black Seeds. And is now busy with another project called Kita.
But this party he is going to show his skills as a programmer/sampler and Synthesist by making a live ambient set with his sampler and Moog. Dont expect dolphin sounds,its going to be different!
And besides all of that, he is a total honey and good dude so super stoked to have him on board,

And then there was "Amandu Montgomery"
who i knew already as Jamie Killen but little did i know....All the line up was finalized when at a party in the Coromandel, we chatted about this party and the programming and Jamie told me he had a drag act! I was like "you dark horse" and by the sounds of it his act will totally fit in with some dark music and confronting style!
So we fitted him in.......

So The Band with the best name in show business is playing too. These amazing women dabble in all sorts of art, music but also installation/performance/burlesque.
Since forming in 2019, the band Le***an Death S***z From Hell has been proud to serve up entertaining performances that gets the audience moving, to a varying set of high happy energy to beautiful and groovy. With a debut EP still to be released, these ladies wouldn't be doing this without the huge support from our friends, the community and you!
I love these ladies to bits, cant wait to see them live and i have also heard they might have some Merch for sale at the party with their amazing band name on it, go and get it!!

Introducing Molly Macindoe.......
As you have all noticed we like to put on different entertainment then just dancing so we thought lets put something educational/informative out there too, so you feel you learned something after all that dancing...
Molly has been one of the inspirations for me personally to put this party on, we know each other vaguely from spending time in the free party scene in The Netherlands and London, been at the same parties and have mutual real good friends.
But i did buy her book "Out of Order" some years back so when she arrived in NZ just before first lock down and did her part self isolating, we invited her into our flat so she would have a roof over her head.
The rest is history, she is at the moment working on a sustainable farm but will come up and do a presentation about the free party/traveler/art scene of the 90ties. She will be on early like 10.30 PM, so be an early bird and come and have a listen and see some of her material, and have a dance after. Below is some more info about her and a link to some of her art work, not to be missed!
Since the late 1990s, Molly has been meticulously capturing the Free Party movement that emerged from the warehouse parties and raves of the inner city, becoming interwoven with the traveler festival scene.. Shooting a world so removed from the throes of mainstream culture, Molly has created a body of work as authentic as the subculture she follows. Once described as an ‘unashamed champion of individuality’, she has provided unprecedented visual insight into an empowered world free of boundaries. Her ground-breaking book 'Out Of Order' documents her journey through ten years of the Free Party movement and is currently on its second, expanded edition. Her talk and the accompanying projections document how the scene has since evolved, survived and thrived in the changing conditions of 21st century Britain and spread beyond Europe--with a special focus on the Middle East.

Next little teaser, coming hot of her own event The Devils Ballroom, is something we are all very excited about, introducing Nocturness. One of the Burlesque performers that will set some new boundaries of what most of you think Burlesque is.
Performance artist Nocturness is unsettlingly sexy with her Avant-garde style of burlesque.
Her ritualistic stage presence and abstract imagery derive from
emotional, personal experience plucked from the very depth of her soul. Confronting as she may be, her primary motivation is not to disturb or offend you, but to use her flesh vessel as an outlet for her inner psyche.
Having a background in theatre, classical ballet, and modern types of dance, Nocturness is no stranger to the stage.
Though she hit the stage with dance at age 5, Nocturness' professional performance career began as a dancer and teacher for one of her home town dance studios.
She later played mentor in the art of tease. From helping beginners find their feet, to assisting performers fine tune routines. Her 7-year long carrier in the adult entertainment industry let her discover and explore human behavior on an unprecedented level. With those tools, she had the crowed eating out of the palm of her hand nightly.
In 2016 Nocturness founded ‘Nocturne Sanctum’ wherein she directs and produces Avant-Garde performane events.
To see a group of performers and spectators come together to explore their vessel and express their psyche, and to celebrate, pay homage and make offering to the muses and deities absolutely stirs her soul. She thrives of helping to create a safe space for people to exercise (spelling "mistake" intended!) their demons.
At the very least, she hopes she’ll make you THINK.

Our first introduction for our party is Go Nuclear, Electro punks bringing a bangin live set in the Punk Cabaret room. Make sure you get your tickets from Under the Radar before they are gone!
Coming hot from the radioactive wastes of New Zealand, Go Nuclear released their plutonium-powered debut on Bass Agenda Recordings in 2016 and their sound has developed at an alarming pace, vaporising speakers in the Electro scene worldwide and quickly establishing themselves as one of the freshest acts out there.
Buoyed by support from DJ Stingray, Dave Clarke, Helena Hauff, Legowelt and many other top DJs in the scene, their brand of rowdy electro merges techno and extreme noise sensibilities. Their close partnership with OG ghettotech producer Detroit’s FIlthiest has resulted in 2 split 12” releases with more to follow.
Go Nuclear’s live shows are hyper and too direct, obliterating the club with hardcore machine music, live MC and data sequencing. With new hot releases coming out all the time, Go Nuclear are riding a radioactive wave of success. Don’t get too comfortable, you might get your mind melted.
“Taking Detroit's influence well and truly to heart, offering old school vibes with a modern twist, lovingly crafted in a way that shows exactly why, when done properly, authentic electro will never die.” - Andy Barton, Bass Agenda
