CLEVER BOX & FRIENDS is now entrenched as one of Auckland’s most distinct voices in underground electronic music. Each party includes both established and future heroes performing predominantly original music alongside resident and curator; Clever Box. Down the stairs at Ink you’ll discover a melting pot of fanatical techno adventurers, musicians and peace-loving earth wanderers all rubbing shoulders with the regular club kids. There’s absolutely no discrimination on the dancefloor, it’s an awesome experience to be part of such a supportive and all-encompassing crowd all immersed in the same musical language. Our mission for 2017 is to provide the clever box in which magic is made, to always colour outside of the lines, whilst simultaneously gathering up a whole raft of epic new friends along the way. For this next gig we are almost creaming ourselves to be able to introduce FOUR SQUARED playing live house for their debut performance (fun fact – Rhys from Four Squared actually played at the first ever Clever Box & Friends!) + HERMAN SAIZ, an accomplished Chilean minimal techno DJ/Producer + CLEVER BOX who’ll provide the deep, sultry eclectic soundtrack you never knew you needed so badly. It's just a paltry ten smackeroos on the door for all you clever cats and if you’re in before the witching hour, you’ll also get the chance to enter into the draw to win a custom hand-printed Clever Box tee, hell to the yeah! #cleverboxmusic #livehouseandtechno #inkbar #seeyouinthedancefloor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FOUR SQUARED is the new side music project from Rhys Gurney (OneSoul) and his mate Bernie. Initially they were going to be named Transplant, but it didn’t quite sit right with them, so it morphed into Four Squared. What a wonderful world it is now that Four Squared is in it and by the way, all the music will be played live, like with real instruments yo!!!

Inspired at a young age by his grandfather’s profound passion for collecting music, Herman started out mixing with cassettes and old records! While his first passion was Hip Hop and GFunk, he was always interested in collecting new tracks, styles and artists and it wasn’t long before he was introduced to electronic music and the electronic scene. For Herman, the DJ booth is his Spaceship and The Decks are his controls and he brings everyone on his journey and shares his love for the music. Blending his Latin roots with provocative electronic house/techno and deep groovy tech sounds to create a seductive atmosphere strictly for making people get up and get into the rhythm of his undeniably infectious flavour of music. Producing music, at a deeper level, has come to the forefront for Herman over the last two years. His musical creations are cosmic compositions of trip space and celestial sounds. His tracks aim at bringing a higher consciousness and vibration to the dance floor, through ancient and alien messages, intergalactic sounds and subtle spiritual healing.

It’s a sexualised melodrama of electronic soul, set against a backdrop of warm, lush deepness, caressing and flirting with many different flavours of house and techno. Drawing on years of DJing, performance, vocal work and music production, Clever Box has become a sensuous live house & techno act, that pulses with lyrical magic and never fails to deliver.
