Club Meds
Club Meds - The sonic discourse of four brothers in music. Made in Mauao, Aotearoa.
Salty Chops
A seasoned selector with a background in broadcasting and a sharp ear for vibe-crafting across genres. A beloved fixture in underground outdoor music culture for over 20 years, Emz has played at top-tier festivals across Europe and Aotearoa, and remains a usual suspect at boutique gatherings that value authenticity over algorithms.
With a mic in one hand and vinyl in the other, this Egyptian queen weaves cheeky, real-life anecdotes into her sets, reminding dance floors not to take life too seriously, while still taking the groove very seriously. From funk and soul to hip-hop, electronica and beyond, her genre-hopping selections create an atmosphere where people feel cool, confident, and just a little bit sexy.
Emz's presence, both on and off the decks, is magnetic, mischievous, and deeply felt by those lucky enough to catch her live.
