Kia ora my gorgeous constiuents,

I've been venturing into the dark of Night Life for the majority of my life now. I've had the immense privilege and joy of DJing all over the world, in so many clubs, festivals, raves, house parties, galleries etc - you name it - for the past 8 years.. and while my career often takes me elsewhere, my focus has always been creating nightlife experiences at home.

Like most of us, I look around in the evening these days and notice that there is a gaping hole, or perhaps a fleeting feeling I long for, or perhaps it's for a space we're craving... I hear consistently, from you all, that there is a need for something new to fill this void of venues closing, festivals ending, this endless neocapitalist loop train we're all on that's forcing our young creative fledglings to seek greener pastures overseas -- and I'm simply over it!!!!!!!

AND SO, here I am on this mission, to finally (unofficially) become the Night Mayor that Tāmaki Makaurau deserves for real.

Part of upholding this role is my participation in a 3 week course at the institution that is Tresor in Berlin, where I will attend the "how to run a club" course. I'm one of 8 from around the world that have been selected to attend this school, and it is with the heartiest honour that I'm representing AUCKLAND.

so I figured it's high time to wheel it up and run it back: HALFQUEEN presents the NIGHTMAYOR Marathon set - this Friday evening at our beloved Neck of the Woods.

This marathon set is a humble offering, in exchange for a couple of your hard earned bucks. This pūtea will fund my travel expenses, so I might learn some good stuff and bring it home, in the hopes of one day operating the Club we've all dreamt about in the heart of the city.

I lean on you all to reflect me, give me purpose and meaning, and show up, and so, I invite you, once again, to spend a couple of hours with me on Friday, as I take you thru the sonic treasures that have soundtracked my career + life, so we might shake our asses and reimagine how we might want our worlds to feel, in communion.

TLDR; come shake your ass for me to get to Berlin to learn some things!
