Che Rogers

Taranaki-based Ché Rogers brings you his sonic world of synths, samples and drum machines, crafting live, bass-heavy electronic grooves. Rooted in Christchurch’s ‘90s indie guitar scene, Ché’s music evolved through the underground rave vibes of the era, sparking his dive into machine-driven sound.

His unique live performance hinges on his digital hub (Push 3), firing data to tweakable synths. Loops are arranged, teased, and effected on the fly—fingers crossed it all works out.

When not in the studio painting circles, You’ll find Ché riding Taranaki’s ocean and sound waves, playing bass for Ngāmotu’s art-rock band Late for Life Drawing, beats for Ché & the Revolution, or spinning tunes as DJ Che D.

4min (Chris Foreman) has been making electronic music for over 30 years. In fact, it's completely taken over his life, and now he resides full time at Swampshack studio, working with other artists, and releasing his own music via ALMOST HALLOWEEN TIME records.

The set he's put together focuses mainly on 176-190bpm Drum & Bass. The angle taken incorporates a wide palette, encouraging the dancer/listener to find new rhythms and the unlocking of essential lifeforce, given to us all by Gaia. If you're sick of the same old, this is for you.
