Listen to PollyHill x Samara Alofa's 'AQUARIES: AGE OF URANUS' Remix Album

Chris Cudby / Photo credit: Nicola Sandford / Friday 29th August, 2025 2:02PM

A singular local sonic highpoint of 2023, PollyHill and Samara Alofa's avant-electronic / trip-hop masterwork AQUARIES has been remixed by a constellation of visionary Aotearoa producers, brought together by the curatorial ear of Tāmaki's Half Queen. AQUARIES: AGE OF URANUS is the joyfully titled, imagination-sparking result, sporting tracks by 2025 Taite Music Prize winner MOKOTRON, DJ Snakelegs, Caru, Queen Of The Hill (Half Queen x PollyHill), and Best Electronic Artist Tūī winners Amamelia and Leaping Tiger.

Voyaging into club-booming zones of Hiko, house, techno, breakbeat-injected neo-exotica, wonky electronica and beyond, dive deep into AQUARIES: AGE OF URANUS out today via Sunreturn, and grip the vinyl LP edition (also featuring tunes from AQUARIES) at good record stores. Be sure to catch Half Queen moving the crowd at this Saturday's Voices For Gaza Fundraiser, as one half of Bula Vinasty with Kaiviti...


"Choosing remixers was pretty simple really. Overall it was a matter of imagining how their sonic worlds could collide with Aquaries. We chose people who have such strong, staunch artistic voices and choices — they’re all bold producers who we felt would connect to the original songs, and who we all felt in alignment with. All of them, and each of us (P, Samara and myself) have either connected with them in the past personally, or creatively, or experienced a set of theirs, so the curation was very natural! They all brought their unique offerings and we’re all so excited to see this project land and ripple outwards." - Half Queen
