We’re super stoked to announce Strange Behaviour’s mid-winter get together, with another essential live set from Ügly Disco, the Wellington debut of AK’s Manuel Darquart, and new school boogie man Henri Le Blanc, direct from Oz.
Ügly Disco have crafted a reputation for unmissable live sets over the last year, and the duo are no strangers to rocking SB parties having been there since the beginning. A killer set in support of Seven Davis Jr. captured his ears enough for him to sign their track ‘Nutz’ to the compilation Future Society, and we can guarantee that these guys will bring the party vibes, being the complete antithesis to the sterile live laptop set. This is house music as live and raw as it gets.

Manuel Darquart are the pseudonym of Auckland’s Sean Whittaker and Louis Anderson-Rich, who’ve been collaborating together over the past seven years, after discovering a mutual love for cosmic boogie and euphoric house. You’ve likely heard their ‘Next Dance’ on the radio, and we’re super excited to present these rising producers and their soulful chords and analogue grooves for a long awaited Wellington debut.

Henri Le Blanc has been a quiet achiever in his hometown of Adelaide for the better part of 20 years, holding down numerous long-term residencies and supporting touring acts like Onra, Osunlade, Mo' Horizons. After Inkswel put his demo in the hands of Midnight Riot label boss Yam Who', his productions soon found an international audience through the subsequent album, House of L.O.V.E. Another recent EP on Kat Records and tracks slated for release later in the year on Kolour Ltd show Henri’s now a producer to watch, and will also be making his first appearance in Wellington.
