Shovaav is the Hebrew word for Cheeky, Mischief, Fun

Hen Kalish, also known as Shovaav, has quickly emerged as a vibrant force in New Zealand's underground music scene over the past few years.

Now residing in Auckland, New Zealand, Shovaav has built a reputation for delivering unforgettable sets that blend familiar classics with contemporary sounds from around the globe, enhanced by his distinctive live percussion and exotic musical elements.

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!
