Lineup
Eddie Rakanui
Eddie hitchhiked in over 700 cars around NZ - which is either really ballsy or stunningly stupid. Somehow he also created a Spotify podcast that ranked in the Top 10% most shared worldwide. His days look like a kaleidoscope: everything, everywhere, moving all the time. These days he channels that energy into three words — Love Life More. He's an experience gatherer who absolutely loves his life.
Mike Ny
Mike is a Director of Wellington's award-winning catering business Food Envy and espresso and wine bar Glou Glou. A structural engineer by training, he spent years on medium high-rise commercial projects in Wellington and construction management in Thailand before stepping into hospitality in 2018. Now also a property developer with a bold vision for invigorating the Capital
Nick Medder
Club Medder is a DJ, producer and broadcaster born and raised in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. A lover of all things electronic since his youth. Influenced heavily by early drum & bass culture in New Zealand from the early 2000's, then the raving house and techno scenes of Europe in his late teens and early 20's. Combining an eclectic mix of old and new, throwing down tunes to get the bodies moving and groovin' on the dancefloor, you never know what you'll get next on this rollercoaster of sound. Club Medder is the current Station Manager of iconic Wellington radio station RadioActive.FM. Producing, curating and hosting the Wednesday Drive Show. He has supported International artists such as Unglued, Delta Heavy and My Nu Leng, while also creating his own music events filling dancefloors across the motu. 1 of 3 members of the Torque Sounds System Crew.
Tupe Solomon Tanoai
She's making an incredible impact on lives and energy through her roles on the Board of Philanthropy NZ and as the Chief Philanthropic Officer for the Michael and Suzanne Borrin Foundation. A polyglot, script writer and producer we're can't wait to hear what she's been up to lately.
