Heylady

TĀMAKI MAKAURAU / AUCKLAND
She/Her
 
Breaks / House / Techno
 
Heylady is an Auckland reprobate who is known for her speaker-rattling basslines and ability to light up the floor with a vengeance, she is all about slick, solid sound.
 
Dedicated to constantly improving the house and techno scene, Heylady has worked with some of the biggest and best over the past 25 years, as well as some of the smallest and coolest. She mentors, writes articles, works with groups to encourage social change and never misses a beat on the decks.
 
Cutting her teeth as a promoter, she has run multiple party series under the Casio Circus and Back on Track brands. She’s run festivals, stage managed, curated, collaborated and collected music and musicians, and she’s brought through some of the biggest names in house music.
 
She held a much desired residency at The 7 Deadly Gins at Burning Man, she rocked stints in LA and Melbourne, she’s a part of Kiwiburn’s infamous Hijinxx soundcamp, she is one half of the boundary pushing act, Communicate, with Cyril Orson and she’s one of the founding members of Taniwha’s Den. Heylady has cemented herself as one of the forces to watch, from big festival sets to small, intimate club spaces, from promotion to performance, her diversity, range, passion and drive always ensures a stomping dancefloor.
 
Born with a soul infused with a love of all things tech, ponies, sneakers and dressups, Heylady believes fun and frivolity is paramount. Which is why her sets never conform to one silly sub-genre, it’s all four-four isn’t it?
