Some gigs are just gigs. This one is a full-circle moment.

In 2003, I picked up @solarosamusic's album, Haunted Out Takes and it helped reshape what I thought of local beatmakers. Every album since has been on my decks, in my headphones, woven into the soundtrack of two decades.

Somewhere along the way, the support became a collaboration. I've had the honour of designing his last four album covers — In Spaces EP, Chasing the Sun, New Tomorrows (in collaboration with @askewone), and the latest, In The Mids. In Spaces EP took home Best Album Cover at the @aotearoamusicawards, and New Tomorrows is nominated for the same award — winner announced next Thursday 28 May. 🤞

This Friday 22 May, I get to step up as DJ support on the In The Mids tour at Double @whammy, Auckland. 23 years of being a fan, four album covers, and now sharing a stage. It doesn't get much better.
If you've ever moved to Sola Rosa's grooves, this is the one. Come through.

This one’s really about celebrating the love and talent of these two incredible artists. I’m lucky to work with so many gifted people when putting music out... there’s a lot of trust involved in letting others shape the visual side of it. @askewone and @ithinkcreative are two I trust completely to bring ideas to life with care and creativity.

They’ve both gone above and beyond for me so many times, and I’m genuinely grateful to know them and share the mahi. This one’s for you, my bros 🧡
