Electro-haka to the world, catch Rei in Aotearoa before he heads overseas!

Multi-award-winning Māori artist Rei is hitting the road across Aotearoa this March and April with the Moisturise & Decolonise Tour, bringing his electro haka live show to Hamilton, Opotiki, Gisborne, Rotorua, Tauranga and Christchurch.

The tour celebrates Rei’s latest album Moisturise & Decolonise, a 15-track project exploring the balance between cultural reclamation and personal wellbeing. From kaupapa-driven rap songs like Toitū and Still Here to tropical pop and RnB-influenced tracks such as Seasons and Hine Manea, the album blends contemporary sounds with the rhythms, language and spirit of te ao Māori.
“The album is about duality,” Rei says.

“Many of us are on a journey reclaiming language and culture while also trying to look after ourselves. Moisturise & Decolonise is a reminder to regenerate, meditate, and take care of yourself during that journey.”

Three years in the making, the album marks a new chapter in Rei’s music. Having toured internationally across Canada, Japan and Australia, and performed at events such as SXSW Sydney, WOMEX Manchester and Osaka Expo, Rei has increasingly leaned into leading with Māori culture in his music and live performances.

“When I travel around the world with my music, I see how much people connect with our culture,” Rei says. “Every time we haka, the phones come out and the wairua spreads through the crowd. It made me realise I need to lead with the culture, not tuck it away in the background.”

OurSecretLab Presents: 303 w/ Cass, Jamie Stevens

HAVEN continues this year’s string of tops-off sweat-boxes with an all vinyl, all night set from chief degenerate KEEPSAKES to celebrate his first release on the label since 2022…

Our co-founder has been on a tear the last few years. With releases on KAOS/OAKS, Turbo Recordings, Boys Noize Records, and Perc Trax, he’s following up on ‘Dystopian Euphoria’ with a 5-tracker of warped alien sound design, driving and grooving rhythms, and track titles lifted straight from a discombobulated after-hours chat. Beyond his releases he’s toured extensively internationally with appearances at many of the world’s finest techno institutions - including Berlin’s Tresor and RSO, Rote Sonne Munich, Distillery Leipzig, London’s Fold and Corsica Studios, the DBA in Manchester, Sub Club Melbourne and beyond. This sits alongside his busy Aotearoa gig schedule that has seen him grace many of our finest DJ booths at the likes of Twisted Frequency, Lakes Festival, TwoMinds Festival, Electric Ave, b.space and more.

Alongside all of this he has also been the driving force behind HAVEN along with his partner Marie Celeste Lawrence since their first raves in 2015. They have since developed into a label in 2018 - working with many of techno’s leading artists including VTSS, Tommy Holohan, Peder Mannerfelt, Ryan James Ford, WTCHCRFT, and many more. Now based in Ōtautahi their raves are stronger than ever with their focus on total dance-floor immersion, diversity, and the finest musical selectors they can get their hands on.

Those who witnessed the last vinyl all-nighter from Keepsakes know this will be a special evening soundtracked by one of the the 03’s most experienced dance music exports and his deep record collection…

★ S.A.S.H in the Street After Party ★ 16th Birthday ★ Easter Sunday 5th April ★
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our 16th Birthday celebrations continue on from S.A.S.H in the Street with an additional 14 hour rave at Home The Venue. That's right, in true Long Weekend fashion, we're partying across 4 rooms at Sydney's biggest club - night time right up until Breakfast.

Arguably one of best DJs in the world at the moment, we had to bring Harry McCanna back to Sydney for this one. He's joined by one of Ukraine's finest exports, Olga Korol, now based in Berlin, the Body Parts co-founder was seriously impressive when we last hosted her at UNSW Roundhouse. Finally, long time S.A.S.H favourites Rich NxT & Rossko round out the lineup for what is shaping up to be a monumental occasion.

Joining our 4 international guests are local crews Parker & Friends and Back to Boogie Wonderland. Full local support announced soon.

As always, you bring you dancing shoes; we'll provide the rest.

See you on the dance floor xx
