As many of you know, the fate of our favourite festival is on rocky ground. We have this festival to thank for some awesome memories, and we'd love for it to keep running for future generations to experience the aroha, warmth and acceptance we felt when we first entered the Cobb. Twisted Frequency is a vital breeding ground for Aotearoa musicians to get inspired and play their music in front of a passionate crowd.
This event pays homage to one of our favourite sessions from Twisted Frequency over the years, we've recreated the iconic Twisted Disco lineup from years past, right here in the CBD of Ōtautahi. 100% of profits from this event will go directly to supporting Twisted Frequency in running their 2026 event and continuing their amazing festival.

Chanuii ain’t your average DJ, baby. This cat’s slidin’ outta Waikuku with a bag full o’ funk, soul, and that sweet, lush sound that makes your hips talk back. He been studyin’ the ancient art of bombasticism, and lemme tell you — the brother’s got his PhD in makin’ you move.
You might catch him out in the mangroves, bumpin’ James Brown to the turtles and gators. — always smooth, always fresh, always fly. Chanuii don’t just play music — he lays it down like velvet on the ears, sugar.

Originally from the West Coast of Canada, and now nestled deep in Aotearoa, delectable selector BYTE SIZE is a sonic super spreader of tasty tunes - marinating her love of roots, hip hop, funk, and all manners of far flung rare grooves, with the deeply driving, bass heavy sounds of electronic music.
From punchy progressive house & techno to hot buttered breaks, wubs, dubs, afrobeat & slinky nu disco, she playfully crafts dynamic dance floor journeys that are infectiously grooving and full of sonic swagger.
Joining her on live sax will be the amazing Rachael Travaille, those who were at the recent Twisted Disco will remember how fricken awesome the funky UKG with live sax over the top was.
