About Ethan
In the Auckland and wider NZ music & DJ scene, Ethan Jupe is quickly building a reputation as a real funk-maestro. Despite being a young lad at only 24, his slick & classy sound is heavily influenced by 90’s house and early disco.
Primarily a multi-instrumentalist producer, his ear and musicality is what guides his abilities behind the decks.
Think the grooviest of basslines, rhythmic percussion, funky guitar riffs and the odd vocal banger - his calculated palette of tunes is diverse, and meticulously crafted to fill any dance floor.
From previous successes in a widely regarded DJ duo HarrisonJupe, Ethan is no stranger to the biggest of stages that NZ has to offer - having played at Rhythm & Vines, Synthony, Coro Classic, and many other sell-out shows.
