I had a tour booked, and it got shut down just before the COVID-19 lockdown hit 5 years ago, so to finally be able to come over to the number 2 and 3 biggest supporting countries of my music is a blessing, and I&#8217;m so excited to meet so many of the people I have spoken to over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpermalink.php%3Fstory_fbid%3D1186202766922157%26id%3D100092994817231%26substory_index%3D1186202766922157&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"416\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TF: What can attendees anticipate from your set in Napier, Hawke&#8217;s Bay Region, New Zealand?<\/strong><br><strong>Teej: <\/strong>Honestly, expect 98% dubs with a few iconic bits thrown in for good measure. I\u2019m using this not only as an opportunity to exercise all this new music I&#8217;ve been working on, but also all of my new label material that is coming out over the next year. Dark, minimal, energetic vibes &#8211; what it\u2019s all about when you come and see me play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TF: Are there any DJs or producers from Australia or New Zealand who have inspired you or any artists you&#8217;d love to collaborate with while on this tour?<br>Teej<\/strong>: There are so many that I can\u2019t even begin to name, but I won\u2019t turn down the opportunity to shout out <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/xsetra_dnb\/\">Xsetra<\/a><\/strong>.

Will definitely be linking up with all of them whilst I\u2019m out there. Also, he\u2019s not from either of these places, but my brother <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWBOadJDB0t\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">Napes<\/a> <\/strong>is out there with me, so if you think there won\u2019t be something cold cooked up whilst we are out there, you\u2019re nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TF: Outside of the gigs, is there anything you\u2019re looking forward to experiencing while in New Zealand and Australia?<\/strong><br><strong>Teej:<\/strong> Honestly, the people. I\u2019ve made so many mates over the years, virtually, so to see them and be able to have a brew with some of my people is going to be great.
