END OF CHAPTER 1. Chapter 2 begins now!

What a time it has been. Since starting this idea back in late 2021, we’ve managed to take the scenic sesh to new heights that we could have never imagined.

As we wrap up this first chapter in Wellington, I thought it be fitting to reflect on these past couple years through the lens of the individuals who were pivotal in making this idea come to life.

These individuals played many different roles, whether it be DJ’ing, providing generators, or even just being another set of hands on the day.

SO, we have:
- DJ K-Hole Kieran Morrison, the deepest and darkest selecta
- MC Chad Pest Brad West, with the smoothest lips behind the mic
- Myself, mr french flavour Andy French french flavour
- Seanus & James Sean Stevenson James Magallanes, our resident bass house experts
- Sammy K Sam Kerridge, the two step tantalizer
- Ben Mules Ben Mules, the cutest yet dirtiest man behind the decks
- Thomas Tom Goodman, our high impact operations manager
- And other notable features from local legends Joseph Faure, Xavier Hey, Corban Tupou, Harry Just & Buzz Knightyear.

What a couple of years! So many legends here who have made the scenic sesh the spectacle it is today. Thank you to you all.

So onto Chapter 2!

As many of us depart Wellington, I’m happy to inform you that our resident bass house experts Sean & James have taken over the reigns for the scenic sesh for all things Wellington.

So keep your taringas open because they’ll have some exciting news for you soon enough for some more scenic sesh goodness.

For me (Andy), I’m based here in Sydney now, so if you’re over this way then let me know. Would love to link up and make the most of what Eora has to provide!

This time we have 8 DJs, yes you heard it right - 8 DJs stepping up to the plate! Bringing you an eclectic selection of tunes progressing from disco to techno to acid house and then rounding it out with some jungle breaks and drum & bass.

Running a boiler room setup for this session was an absolute blast and added an awesome arena feel to this bunker rave. We also had a record number of ravers at this one and it was sick to have so much energy!

VOLUME 6 - Town Belt ⛰

Episode 6 saw the scenic sesh take to the hills above the capital, with the glow of Wellington City as the background to this look-out pop off.

We hustled the decks and speakers up the hill on a chilly Friday night, turning the cameras on JUST in time to capture some of the stunning sunset across the city.

This round saw some longer sets ranging from liquid, to garage, to disco and even a fine selection of original house numbers from Mr .magallanes . We can’t wait to share the full video of the night with you later this week.

With the outdoor gig restrictions lifting, we have some big plans for the coming months so stay tuned!

In the meantime here are some of the snaps from the sesh!

VOLUME 5 - Breaker Bay 🌊

This edition saw the scenic sesh take to the beach, with one of Wellington’s most glorious sunsets providing the backdrop to some mixing and mischief.

Welly answered our prayers and turned it on. It was an absolute PEARLA!

And even though we thought we might finish up early, the don K-Hole had other plans and things took a pretty hectic turn once the sun went down.

Anyways, here are some of the snaps from the day, capturing the stunning sunset over Breaker Bay on a picturesque Friday evening. We hope you enjoy 🤝

Footage coming Sunday! 💥

VOLUME 4 - GRASS STREET 🏘

Picture this: you’re on your way back from Tora beach, no reception, and you get a call: NZ is back in Traffic Light Red - no more gigs! Heartbreak for a moment, but does that stop the scenic sesh? I think not!

Volume 4 saw us park up at scenic sessions HQ, right here in Grass Street, Oriental Bay.
Luckily we had all our friends from Tora in town, seeing debut appearances from Foxtrot, Goose, Zog Zimmer and the legendary trio Huge Jas!

Here is the footage from the day, managing to get three hours of great content in, ranging from atmospheric house to deep and dirty hard-style - so something for everybody!
