Pulling Together The Show

Moderator - Sarah Thomson

If it was released in the last twenty years, there's a middling chance that someone within the media of Aotearoa may have allowed Sarah to: programme the music video; introduce the live-to-air; write inches about the album; playlist the single; and/or interview the bass player. Sorry about that. With a background that includes stints in music television, screenwriting, radio programming, music journalism and television puppetry, Sarah can currently be heard weekly on Tāmaki independent stalwart 95bFM and sprinkled throughout programming on Radio New Zealand. NB: You may know Lorde's cousin, but Sarah's mates with Big Bird.

HALFQUEEN is a DJ whose sets are just as unapologetic and empowering as her presence in every space. Uncompromised vision, connection and care underpin her work as a DJ, event producer and curator; her DIY QTBIPOC clubnight and platform FILTH is a manifestation of this ethos. Her focus is creating sets and environments where the exchange between the audience and DJ is potent and intimate, with a higher purpose of decolonising the d-floor, uplifting marginalized communities worldwide, and highlighting the importance of the Rave in the revolution.
