Three Lefts
Three Lefts is an artist collective based out of Kumeū. Their focus is on increasing exposure and opportunities for visual artists from around Aotearoa through facilitating their inclusion in a myriad of events and spaces. With artists that employ a wide array of sizes, aesthetics, and techniques, we are capable of providing work to fit most occasions and areas. Often found at mid-size festivals during the Summer season, where we support both live visual artists and gallery displays, Three Lefts is now collaborating with Cassette 9 to bring a rotating selection of our collection to the venue for the public to enjoy and purchase. The purchase of pieces can be made through the bar, and Three Lefts will then be in touch to organise payment and collection.

Dirty basslines are what make her tick... and dance!

Being surrounded by musical talent her whole life she decided to hop behind the decks and start mixing together sounds that can only be described as a journey through the concept of bass and rhythm. Gridlok’s sound has a deep, earthy flow. Her focus is on creating a rhythm that slows you down and connects you to the wide variety of different Melodies and bass, allowing your entire body, mind and soul to surrender to the music.
This is Ross
Who is Ross? Ross has been wowing backpackers for years with his playlists. You've seen him at every event. He's probably told you he's a DJ. Taking inspiration from his home of naughty Yorkshire, a region famed for its steel, boats and puddings, you'll hear all of that and more as he absolutely fries your ears with an eclectic mix of basically every genre that starts with H and ends with OUSE. From Madonna to the Macarena, you'll be skanking so hard you'll never have to ask again Who is Ross. Your entire being will be humming with the knowledge that THIS is Ross
VJ Crocstar
Brett has supported many a DJ over the past 20 years to co-create sumptuous themes and beat-aligned visual extravaganzas. I’m most interested in telling visual stories and connecting the audience into a symphony of sound and motion, I can’t wait to share my visual treats at Cassette this weekend.
