Thank you Taniwha's Den for putting on an amazing party. The music was amazing and the visuals were next level!

A movement through Arabic and Indian sound scapes with a bit of pumping deep tech in the mix at Taniwha's Den 2023.

Here's my opening set from Innervate at East Street. It's a nice mix of ethnic tunes that span the globe. Moves from a mellow start to a more up-beat tempo.

My opening set from 'Innervate' at East Street in Nelson. The mix is a blend of ethnic tunes covering Arabic, Indian, Afro, Japanese and Latino. It moves from a mellow start to a more up-tempo finish.

Had an amazing time playing at a private event near Nelson in the weekend. Here's the recorded set from the night. Traverses bass-house, minimal and techno.

This set was recorded live at a private party near Nelson and kicks off with some dirty bass house and transitions through minimal and techno.

Here's a silky smooth chill mix I did that brings together Indian, Persian and Arabic tunes with some ambient tracks thrown in for good measure.

FREE THE BEAT

Historic moment couple of weeks ago when we filled Deville so much that people were cueing to end of the street (thanks for your patience 😅 ).

Nelson Techno Collective is decided to bring the dance music (aka TECHNO) to town and will do again soon.

Here another historic moment when Devious Monk (aka Aaryn Barlow) realises he left the oven ON at home. It didn't matter as by then the dancefloor was so hot he could bake cookies.

Hello everyone. Kicking off this page with my set from Deville the other night. Was an epic night and a great way to celebrate being able to gather and dance again! Thanks to DeVille for hosting the Nelson Techno Collective and a big thanks to everyone who came along. It was a pumping night!

Enjoy the tunes.
