✨ IT'S THE LONGEST, DARKEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR* 💫

🏖️ And in the Golden Lagoon, the deep sea critters are flocking to the pumping, shimmering artificial reef ball that's just been dropped smack-bang in the middle of the lagoon's foremost mollusc hangout, aptly named the Mussel Inn 🦪

🦀 Delusional Disco Drongos and friends cordially invite you out for this year's Deep Sea Midwinter Boogie Down The Muss (Fourth Edition!), an all-out conversion of your favourite cosy bush pub into a sparkling studio 1259 with DJs all-night playing a tasty melange of all things Disco, proto, retro, modern or and futuristic. 🤖

🌊🦀 BDTM IV presents current-shifting Dub and Reggae, deep and dreamy House waves, lots of far-out Disco and Soul plankton and a cheeky pinch of salty Acid basslines - guaranteed to make even the grumpiest crab shimmy sideways 🦀🌊

🚗Make sure you organize that babysitter and a sober ride home.

🪄Everyone is important - bring your best you, dance in the fog under the red sparkles of the mirrorball, let the sweat drip off the ceiling and shower your friends with buckets of love!

*Solstice is a night later but don't let the truth get in the way of a good punch-line 😉

✨Mid-winter Boogie at the Mussel Inn, Vol. III!✨

🤩 Update your calendars and book the baby sitters, cos here is the one party that you've been waiting for since the last edition in 2024!
🌕Delusional Disco Drongos are going to light up your favourite cosy bush pub for the longest night of the year and take you into the-days-are-getting-longer-again territory!

💥The council of Golden Bay party folk has decided: DO NOT MISS OUT!!!💥

💃🕺 If you've been to the previous editions you might remember what to expect: a smattering of local DJ talent, a Solly's truck worth of fog and mirror balls and a warm and vibrant dance floor drenched in deep red lights. 🚛🪩

🍲The recipe for this Disco Soup is a winner, with hefty chunks of nutritious Dub and Reggae, heart-warming deep and lush House sounds and sun-drenched outernational Disco fruits, seasoned with some salty Acid basslines. 🥕

🌳Willow and Outer Orbit are going to welcome you with an eclectic bouquet of tunes from around the world, all grown from their rich gardens fertilised with heavy dosings of Dub, Reggae, House and Jungle. 💫

🥬This year we're also throwing 22Tango into the pot. Known as the napa cabbage of Tempo Schmempo we're expecting some zesty, tangy co-fermented experiments from his well-established orchard of Afro, Nu Disco and House tunes that are going to warm up the beams of the Mussel Inn's wooden dance floor. 🍋

🥩Last but not least Delusional Disco Drongos are going to make sure no one goes home feeling hungry. The trio of Max Serra, Intergalactic Immi and DJ Friend are going to serve up some slow-cooked Disco meat that's gonna make your eyes water and legs shiver. Well-hung House burners, spicy marinated Disco GOATs, dry-aged Acid spit-roast and double-deep-fried Boogie drum sticks with a crispy coating of international vibes and sounds. 🍗

💄 DRESS UP encouraged
💰 $20 on the door
🎫 $15 pre-sale via link in bio

🏳️‍🌈 Boogie Down the Muss is a party for everyone no matter what your age, gender, sexuality, or fetishes may be. The only rule is to treat everyone with respect. Any trans-, homophobia, body shaming, sexism, racism or other form of disrespect will not be tolerated.

Playing down at the @kiwispiritdistillery alongside @richtercityrebels from 1-7pm today! Come through for some beats, cocktails /mocktails and tacos! Aroha nui

Excited to be playing again at the wonderful @twistedfrequencyfestival this tau hou pākehā. This year I’m lucky enough to be playing two sets, one solo roots/dub session and a collaborative dub techno set with Aorere’s finest @outerorbit_ !
Hopefully see some familiar folk up there on the dance floor
