With the end of the winter on the horizon HAVEN are back with another Galaxy Arcade rave and a guest from across the Tasman to bring that warmth and sweat back in to your life…
We are proud to invite Naarm’s master of Techno-Trance mutations DJ Ali to perform in Aotearoa for the first time. With a sound that straddles euphoria, driving 4-4 rhythms, and live electronic manipulation his productions have been released on a raft of leading techno labels - including Blue Hour Music, Global Pulse, Amniote Editions, BCCO and Live From Earth Klub. This has led to tours throughout Europe and Asia - with performances at the likes of Berghain, RSO, Æden, and Club OST in Berlin, Geheimclub in Magdeburg, Area 51 in Eindhoven, Baggen in Copenhagen, STRECK Warehouse in Gothenburg and Abyss in Shanghai. As a stand-out live act and DJ from his local Australian scene he has also regularly performed at many of our neighbour’s finest club institutions - including Sub Club, Solace, New Guernica, and Club 77, as well as festivals including Pitch Music and Arts, Beyond the Valley, Woodburnia, Outsider, and Ballista Festival.
On support we are excited to have Ambient Headquarters member and regular artist across the Ōtautahi and South Island outdoor scene Brutal Fairy opening the arcade floor, while HAVEN resident and Hang The Saints co-founder Hunter is back from recent European adventures with a fresh collection of techno stompers before our guest…
