Having recently acquired a monthly residency January 2010 at local Auckland lounge bar ‘Red’ along side Tom McGuinness. He is looking towards the long term, giving him an opportunity for fans to catch him in an intimate setting, and generally hear a selection of music that you wouldn’t normally get in a pumping club environment, 'Murmur' which takes place on the last Saturday of every month, focuses more on the groove and house side of the underground, slower and more sensual, perfect for a quiet drink before heading out for the night!.
