SANOI aka Jonas Fischer is a producer, DJ and a key member in the electronic music scene in Aotearoa. He has graced the stages of many New Zealand, Australian and European festivals & clubs where his deeply danceable DJ sets see him move seamlessly across warm, melodic, groove-driven techno and beyond.
SANOI has released a multitude of his own productions on a variety of respected local and European-based electronic-focused labels, with his releases Echoes Of Home and Loose
Change coming from Loop worldwide. These releases have seen SANOI be featured on an array of digital platforms and reach Number One on various Beatport single charts.
2025 saw him kick off the year with the release of Loose Change EP, a collection of high-energy, dance-floor-focused tracks. The EP arrived after a 12 month period which saw him share the stage with the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Hybrid Minds, Barry Can’t Swim and more. In that time, he also performed capacity shows throughout Germany, Australia and New Zealand, which inspired the musical direction of this release.
He closed out 2025 with the release of Augenblick: Side A. Known for his textured approach to sound design, Sanoi steps into a new creative space with this introspective exploration of nostalgia, emotion, and atmosphere. While the Loose Change EP focused on DJ-ready dance tracks, Augenblick turns inward - offering reflective compositions that drift between analog warmth and digital experimentation.
Constantly developing as an artist and finding expression through music are some of the key factors that drive him, whether it be in the studio or behind the decks, SANOI has proven he’s dedicated to the craft of providing meticulous, melodic and mischievous sets and sounds.

We are excited to welcome back the incredibly multi talented Serena Stevenson, the creative force behind Preloved Project’s - NOT VOGUE - Photography Activation
NOT VOGUE is a playful, high-energy photography activation that transforms any event into a living, breathing fashion editorial.
Part mini studio, part performance, the space is set with a striking backdrop and studio lighting - an open invitation into a world where everyone is the star. Guests are beckoned in by an exuberant Italian-accented persona-bold, theatrical, and delightfully irreverent, channeling high fashion while turning it completely on its head.
Participants are guided into iconic, Vogue-style poses and celebrated for exactly who they are and what they’re wearing. The experience is joyful, empowering, and a little bit daring-designed to make people feel seen, fabulous, and unapologetically themselves.
BE the Vogue that you are.
After the event, these fashion portraits are transformed into a bespoke magazine-style editorial-curated into a vibrant, collectible artefact of the night.
NOT VOGUE is about access over exclusivity, play over perfection, and giving everyone their front cover moment.
Will YOU be on the NOT Vogue cover for This years Thrift Shop Ball?!
