IMPROPER PRESENCE

SECRET SOCIETY | NEW ZEALAND

Improper Presence is a sonic storyteller devoted to the mystical realms of psytech, channeling music as a path of connection, awakening, and transformation. Through the fusion of hypnotic techno rhythms and psychedelic soundscapes, Improper Presence crafts sets that feel less like performances and more like rituals—sacred journeys woven through vibration and frequency.

For Improper Presence, psytech is a dynamic force, alive with constant movement and evolution. Its rolling basslines, intricate textures, and expansive atmospheres mirror the ebb and flow of consciousness itself. Each set is designed as an energetic transmission, guiding dancers through shadow and light, stillness and intensity, until the dance floor becomes a collective heartbeat pulsing in harmony.

Rooted in a deep belief that music is medicine, Improper Presence approaches every performance as an offering. By blending the grounded drive of techno with the transcendent spirit of psytrance, Improper Presence creates an alchemy that opens space for healing, release, and elevation.

From underground gatherings to open-air festivals beneath the stars, Improper Presence carries an intention: to awaken deeper states of presence and unity through sound. The journey is infinite, the spirit is free, and the music is the guide.




Big Dave

Big Dave stumbled upon a life-altering symphony of sound on the shores of Kariotahi Beach, New Zealand's west coast - the ethereal realm of psychedelic trance. From that serendipitous moment, the course of his life was forever charted in the vibrant waves of electronic music.

Big Dave's quest for sonic enlightenment led him across the globe to the heart of the UK, where he immersed himself in a three-year odyssey through the London underground scene. Here, he found himself at the heart of the action, dancing under the stars at outdoor raves and experiencing the raw energy of illegal ("squat") parties. Amidst the chaos and beats, he forged lifelong connections with fellow music devotees.

Now as the organiser of Dimension, he loves to share the raw energy of a proper psytrance party with the world!
