The ‘Chaka 50 Years of Music’ tour commences next week in Auckland with a sold-out show at the Civic Theatre on April 16, followed by Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on April 18, and concluding at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, where she performs April 22 and 23.
Detroit-based DJ and producer Marcellus Pittman has become legendary for his deep, soulful house music and eclectic DJ sets. A member of the influential 3 Chairs collective, alongside Theo Parrish, Moodymann, and Rick Wilhite, he has significantly shaped Detroit’s iconic sound across his career and headed up his own label, Unirhythm, which showcases his innovative productions.
Frank Booker has built a worldwide reputation for his DJ sets, edits, and studio work. His production output has been highly acclaimed, and he has previously performed alongside Moodymann, DJ Harvey, Gilles Peterson, Folamour, and Ron Trent, among many others.
Setwun is the musical brainchild of producer Josh Panakera-Molony and one of Australia’s most in-demand DJs. Some of the world’s most sought-after tastemakers have supported his productions, including Gilles Peterson, Carista, Bradley Zero, and many more.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
