NICO STOJAN
Nico Stojan's rise within the Berlin house scene started with a residency inside the famed walls of Bar 25. His sets there always had the Stojan stamp – house with modern injections of jazz and soul that honored his past as one of Germany's best hip hop DJ's. When Bar 25 closed its doors, new ones had already begun to open, and his deep, almost pensive take on Berlin night music had him spending his weekends playing clubs such as Panoramabar, Watergate and of course, Bar 25's spawn, Katerholzig.
A classically trained clarinette player, he often surrenders its sound live, weaving it through the lusty mood of his sets – it was only natural that he evolved from DJ to producer and soon the Berlin underground were being treated to his own releases on labels such as Highgrade, Connaisseur and Upon You records. Collaborating with other artists has been an important role on his journey - leading to projects and remixes for the likes of Pele, Nicone, Acid Pauli, Andri and Philip Bader to name a few.
With his European successes having taken him all over the continent, Nico's fate pushed him onto an international platform. Venturing to bottom of the earth, he has taken bookings all over the Pacific ocean whilst being the right man for the job in supporting international acts when on tour. In New Zealand he finds solitude in the greenery, a habitat that allows him to produce music in peace before heading back to Berlin for the summer months.
Having had residencies since he was 16 and a feel for music that is apparent through every set and release that makes bloom, this kid from Kreuzberg really has his path set out. I want to say 'watch this space', but we already are.

String is Auckland and Perth based duo, Freke-Freke and Meg Chips.
Together they cross the lines of taboo, mystery, sex and intellect by making installations from whatever materials are needed to make their visions clear to decipher. Their latest sensation involved a ton of shredded paper and a dedication to Freud. They suffer various injuries for their love of making shit including bruises from spell bound transvestites and the more common RSI from obsessive compulsive origami folding. String are currently artists in residence for Auckland collective End Of The Line events. DALE ROHAN |
London. Berlin. Opotiki.
Dale Rohan's crush on techno music bloomed in London, took him to Berlin and eventually bought him
home where he puts on inspired parties in Auckland with the End Of The Line collective.
Music of a tepid depth and groove make up the most of his sets, while lazy tempos and the casual
black vocals fill them.
This music with a view has had him play Subsonic Sydney and throughout NZ with more bookings arising from
different parts of Australasia on a regular basis.

SIMON DARLING
When you mix an R rated coming-of-age movie about a talking animal that only you can understand with a classic midnight B film involving a half naked babysitter and the guy across the street, you’re on your way to knowing what to expect from one of Simon Darling’s summery daytime sets. It’s innocence with attitude and it’s the ideal way to travel through a weekend afternoon.
Despite being born in the most over-hyped electronic city ever, it wasn’t Berlin that compelled him to become the 7,548,628th DJ in the world. In reality, it was New Zealand’s natural environment and the local fruit loops that enjoy celebrating in it which inspired his always easy, never jaded four-four sets.
Unlike most DJ’s (who started mixing unreleased state of the art underground dance-floor epics from inside their mothers womb), Simon Darling has only played a handful of gigs not including the four year old birthday party of the most rock and roll toddler he knows and all of her friends. With a career spanning 18 months, three islands and almost half a gigabyte of storage, Simon Darling has the entire universe at his fingertips.
