Throwback to 2019 here and my set upstairs at the first ever In Kahoots. Tickets still available on the event page. Catch me upstairs again, 12-2am

My mix recorded live at In Kahoots from July, i wanted to try something a little different from my usual style for this one, a bit more progressive with a trancey edge, but it went down a storm with the amazing crowd! Turn up and enjoy!

Unfortunately, one of our fabulous DJ’s has been unwell this week, but don’t worry, we have an epic replacement stepping in, DJ Darren Bailey 💃🏼

Darren’s passion for music started at an early age, from rummaging in record bins for Acid House at the age of 10, spending hours frequenting record shops all over the UK, to endless weekends spent at some of the biggest UK clubs and dance festivals including Cream, Sankey’s, The Warehouse Project and Creamfields.

Darren used this time to hone his ear for the biggest dancefloor destroying beats and observing what made the most ‘up for it’ crowds tick. Inspired, it was from these experiences he took to the turntables at 17, honing his craft and drawing from his influences through the trance era, from the likes of Paul Oakenfold and Sasha, to the later techno/tech house maestros James Zabiela and KiNK.

He has concentrated on what he does best...getting the crowd moving! His energetic style with doses of house, techno and anything in between, secured residencies at clubs around the north of the UK. This laid the foundations for what he brings to Auckland, as co-founder of Burnout Music Events NZ, which for the last 7 years, has brought a massive slice of the atmosphere and energy, that is mainly found around Europe’s biggest clubs to multiple venues around the city, and across New Zealand.

Darren's energy behind the decks transpires through the music he plays, giving him the reputation of a party starter!

Grab your tickets and come party with us Saturday!

Me and the main man DJ Rayza did an interview and a mix for the guys over at LO-FI Productions and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Have a little read then click the link at the top of the page to listen to the mix. If this doesn't get you in the mood for NYE I don't know what will!

We had a chinwag with B2B maestros Burnout head honchos Rayza & Darren Bailey
