TE MANU X NGAIO

Cosmic Cove

THE MOTH CLUB, DUBMISSION, TEETH & TAIL | NZ

Hailing from the great forest of Tiriwa and raised by the black sands of Te Henga, Te Manu (Tangata Tiriti) seeks to decolonise the dance and bring forth the music of Te Pō by sonically weaving taonga pūoro and waiata Māori with soundsytem-oriented deep dub and bass. Their music serves as a meeting point of Te Ao Tawhito and Te Ao Hurihuri - where stone, wood and bone meet dubbed-out FX and sub bass frequencies. Joined by vocalist and taonga pūoro player, ngāio (Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Maru ki Hauraki), whose multi-disciplinary storytelling captures whakapapa made and in the making, the two invite listeners on a journey through a world of many worlds.

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!
