A well-respected tastemaker for over 25 years, DJ B Lo prides himself on delivering the perfect vibe for any situation.

Camaleón Afro-Latino

As a Chameleon adapts to its environment, so it's the music within the band as the variety of Afro-Latino(Salsa, Cumbia, Samba, Merengue, reggae & ska) music and audience demands it. Led by percussionist, singer and guitarist Carlos Navae (Mexico) the band features Angel Guilarte (Cuba) on bass and vocals and Shaun Anderson (NZ) on Drums. They will make sure to make you move your body to their percussive, energetic tropical music!

Tasteful outernational sounds of house, boogie, soul, funk, resonating in the deep timeless rhythms of the past and future. Expect matured deep heat, dollar bin burners, inner space, and refined digital sonics — cool and deadly. No limits for the Champion Sounds.

In the mid to late 90s, HAPE immersed himself in Wellington's burgeoning dance scene, transitioning from an avid dancer to a DJ. Frequenting iconic clubs like Tatou and Paradiso, he honed his skills and sound, leading to his first residency at Terrace Bar. HAPE's reputation grew with successful club nights like High Calibre and Back On Track, and a notable four-year stint in Auckland, where he ran Pitch n’ Faders at Red Bar and played at Ink Bar. Returning to Wellington in 2018, he continues to be a prominent DJ, known for his high-energy funk and deep tribal tech mixes.

Born and bred in the capital city, Tom’s long-standing obsession with music has left him as the owner of a large and varied collection of vinyl.

Having been a performing musician most of his life, Wellington-based Tyson Smith originally added DJing to his repertoire as a means to share rarities from his vinyl collection, but soon began exploring further, and has since DJed at the likes of Splore and Shipwrecked.
