Dee

In the early 90’s Dee discovered and fell in love with house music. She started out doing a student radio show and DJing at house parties. Dee actually remembers her first beat mix in front of a crowd – they went nuts and she’s been hooked ever since! Dee plays funky, vocal house with an electro twist and every now and then she will dig around in the trusty old record collection and drop something classic, just to mix it up a bit.

DJ Nanite

DJ Nanite/Rob first got interested in DJ-ing after listening to lots of breaks music. He has a passion for funk and soul music, and carry this over into his mixing – Rob plays breakbeat, nu funk, and funky breaks. He has been DJ-ing for just over three years, and ran a couple of nights in his home town of Cardiff before moving to New Zealand. Rob’s Funxploitation nights mixed with old school and new school funk and soul. Rob’s favourite DJs right now are: Basement Freaks, QDup Foundation, Badboe, and Fort Knox Five just to name a few.
