The Grand Hall
The Grand Hall in the North Stand always looks magnificent, with big screens, banners, mood lighting, perfectly set tables catering for up to 1800 people, including many well known sports and media personalities.

An evening where the glitterati of NZ film & television are recognised for their contributions to the genre. I played the welcome and after-party laying down a mix of funk, cool 80s, and disco. It was a tremendous evening to be a part of.
Coke Zero Launch
South Seas Island (Fiji)
Held on South Seas Island (Fiji) where I got to lay down the latest dance tunes, rnb, rock, and party favs. The Coke NZ crew were impressed enough to ask me to return and play Rock the Tropics with ZM on Beachcomber Island featuring Elemeno P & Nessian Mystic.

Coke reps come from all over NZ to celebrate their year. I'd play everywhere from poolside parties, beaches, islands, nightclubs, restaurants, boats, and resorts laying down a mix of party 80s, party rock, rnb, hip hop and dance.
Lord Of the Rings : Twin Towers
World Premiere (Te Papa Museum, Wellington)
Landing at Wellington Airport the magnitude of this event was realised with so many people in LOTR costumes. Wellington streets were preparing for the parade and Te Papa looked magnificent with incredible dancers, flames, and tribal drummers, it was like dj'ing on a movie set. My role was to warmup for Nice'n Urlich. So I provided an opening soundtrack of jazz, house, and disco. It was a wonderful celebrity studded night.

They always wanted 70s and 80s party tracks, good times socialising, and dancing, mixing and mingling. Good fun.
