Tradie is a classic Kiwi builder by day and an electronic music enthusiast 365 nights a year. Weekdays, he’s on the tools, but come the weekend, he’s in the club with a different set of tools—ones and twos.

Digital or wax, take your pick; his USB and record crate are stacked to keep the dance floor pumping till the cows come home.

Born and bred in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Tradie made the move to Tāmaki Makaurau in early 2023 and has continued to build on his established reputation as a high-energy and upbeat artist across his numerous sets in Auckland. Most notably, he has supported acts like Netsky, Jordan Brando, Badger, and FJAAK.

Alongside AUNTY EL, Tradie hosted “Kei Te Hōiho – On The Horse” fortnightly on George FM as part of their summer residency. Make sure to see what he’s all about and catch him shutting it down throughout Aotearoa in the months to come!
