Rahaan brought his signature disco and edits vibe to Aotearoa for the first time. From what I remember, he played a lot of his edits, including Talking Heads – Mi Niña Es Mejor (My Girl Is Better) (Rahaan Dub), Fela Kuti – I.T.T., and Roberto De Simone – Secondo Coro Delle Lavandaie.

Amyl and the Sniffers first time in Auckland not seen them since 2018 in London, way more polished than then but with all the same energy. Fantastic stuff.

First gig of the year C.O.F.F.I.N & Dick Move doing their punk rock thing at Whammy Bar, one of my favourite gig venues in Auckland.

Wanted to visit Lake Wainamu for ages after hearing about the massive sand dune nestled in the rainforest.

Followed the trail, had to choose between reaching the lake via stream or crossing the sand dune. Went stream, assuming the trail would run alongside it. Turns out, the stream is the trail!
