SUMMARY:Screw Loose Vol 4 - ft. Paige Julia\, Dylan C\, MSJOS
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Screw Loose\nAt Screw Loose ᴵⁿᶜ we are on a mission to represent many of the flavours of our wide\, New Zealand electronic scene\, whether we’re nodding our heads to the unst unst\, getting down and dirty to the dubstep\, or bopping to our boybands. \nThis time around we’re going to be getting a bit wibbly wobbly with two of New Zealand’s most incredible exports. Join us on a ride in our magic schoolbus as we delve into the slightly insane\, sonic world of internationally recognised bass artist Paige Julia\, take a detour out to national treasure and multi-genre wizard Dylan C’s swamp\, before we take the bus on home and park it up with MSJOS in the (UK) garage. \nPaige Julia\nPaige Julia is a creature that makes music for people who stay up late. While a well-known force of nature in Aotearoa’s underground bass music scene for some time\, she is now being embraced by the global music community. She has consistently been invited to perform at festivals all over Europe and Australia and has released music with international labels: 1985 Music\, Deep Dark & Dangerous\, Drum&BassArena\, Unchained Recordings\, Samsara Beats\, MalLabel Music\, Forest Biz\, Uncomfortable Beats and Totally Roasted. Her self released album titled “Morphling” won “Best Electronic Artist” at the 2021 Aotearoa Music Awards. \nDylan C\nMusic speaks more than a thousand words with Dylan C\, apt for a man small on small talk but who communicates fluently in melody\, rhythm and sonic frequencies. He has developed his distinctive multi-genre approach since the early 2000s\, dipping in and out of various musical scenes simply to keep things interesting. Jungle\, halftime\, 140 and moody groove\, all sewn together with the deepest of rolling basslines. \nMSJOS\nAn eclectic performer who finds joy in the weird and whimsical\, msjos has been bringing wide grins and bass faces alike to audiences across NZ for half a decade. With an ear for grooves and an obsession with the odd\, Joss is on a constant quest to bring pleasantly peculiar sounds to the masses with his multi-genre performances. Whether funk\, house\, glitch-hop\, garage\, bassline\, slow chunky techno\, breaks\, jungle\, whatever Joss is vibing is what he’ll play. \nIntentional Culture\nOur events are intentional – we are here as an alternative to the binge culture of the mainstream. Do take care of yourself and each another as taxis will be called by our friendly security team for those that cannot look after themselves. If you see someone that needs help or doesn’t look okay\, reach out. \nWe also want to create a culture where everyone feels safe and respected. If you’re not sure about whether what you’re doing is okay\, just ask. Be aware of the people around you and think about how you might feel if you were them. Sometimes people don’t want to hug you\, don’t want pictures taken of themselves\, or don’t want you all up in their personal space. \nIf someone says “no” it means “no”. If it’s not a “F*** yes!” it’s not a “yes”. \nDoors 9:00pm – R18. \nFind out more

DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Incubator Creative Hub\nKeen for a dose of creative mindfulness? \nSuitable for beginner artists through to advanced\, these relaxed monthly sessions provide a fabulous opportunity to hone your observational drawing skills. The session will be hosted by long standing Incubator collaborator and talented artist\, Damien Kurth. He will be there to offer demonstrations\, support\, hints\, challenges and feedback for those who want it. \nWe will provide basic drawing supplies and a live model. Bring a mate\, your favourite drawing materials and refreshments. See ya there! \n*Out for respect for the model and the life drawing process\, this is a closed workshop. Please arrive with time to settle in before the workshop begins and doors close at 6pm. \nA word from the The Incubator: We are always striving to try make art opportunities more affordable and accessible for the community. At the same time we are also working to pay artists and collaborators fairly\, maintain our spaces and provide the necessary materials and resources. This intimate monthly gathering\, is a self-sustaining series. It needs a minimum number of participants to break even and anything above that goes toward the aforementioned necessities for future sessions. We think the Bare Minimum Life Drawing experience is unique one – offering extremely knowledgeable tutelage in a vibrant gallery setting amidst a curated exhibition of inspired artworks. You won’t be disappointed! \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Filament
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Tauranga Arts Festival\nArtists: Angus Muir and Catherine Ellis\nSound Design: Peter Hobbs \nA light installation that will absorb and awe you. \nA dense field of black fibreglass rods forms a quiet\, gridded volume activated by laser light and spatial sound. As beams cut through the structure\, they catch on thousands of fine surfaces\, revealing shifting planes\, flickers\, and moments of interference that feel both digital and organic. The rigid geometry begins to dissolve\, appearing to ripple\, breathe\, and reconfigure in real time. \nWith an enveloping surround soundscape\, Filament becomes an immersive field rather than a fixed object\, drawing audiences into a space where light behaves like a material and structure becomes atmosphere. \nBest experienced after dark. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Li’l Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Tauranga Arts Festival\nLi’l Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine is an authentic one-man band performing “good time music with old time style.” Inspired by the street performers of the 1930s–50s\, he blends blues\, early jazz\, ragtime\, and Western swing\, delivering it live with harmonica\, guitar\, kick drum and hi-hat all played simultaneously! \nCaptivating storytelling intertwines effortlessly with heart stopping harmonica. Multiple guitar styles are underpinned by his left and right feet frantically pounding the kick and hi hat. The listener is left simply wondering\, “How the hell does he do that?” \nIn an age where we are rushing around at breakneck speed\, where everything is instant\, sugar coated\, airbrushed and overly polished\, Li’l Chuck brings us down to earth with some organic\, all natural\, whole grain\, naked goodness. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Li’l Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Tauranga Arts Festival\nLi’l Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine is an authentic one-man band performing “good time music with old time style.” Inspired by the street performers of the 1930s–50s\, he blends blues\, early jazz\, ragtime\, and Western swing\, delivering it live with harmonica\, guitar\, kick drum and hi-hat all played simultaneously! \nCaptivating storytelling intertwines effortlessly with heart stopping harmonica. Multiple guitar styles are underpinned by his left and right feet frantically pounding the kick and hi hat. The listener is left simply wondering\, “How the hell does he do that?” \nIn an age where we are rushing around at breakneck speed\, where everything is instant\, sugar coated\, airbrushed and overly polished\, Li’l Chuck brings us down to earth with some organic\, all natural\, whole grain\, naked goodness. \nFind out more
