AROHA (NZ)

AROHA, originally from New Zealand and now based in Melbourne, is a dynamic producer and DJ celebrated for her electrifying performances. Her signature style fuses house and techno with breakbeat, electro, footwork, and UK bass, delivering sets that captivate crowds. Whether performing solo or as one half of AROHA & TALI with award-winning MC TALI, she curates unforgettable musical experiences.

From her early days as a prime-time host on George FM to headlining world-class festivals, AROHA has carved her own path in electronic music. Voted as New Zealand's Best Club DJ (2013), she’s opened for global heavyweights like Disclosure and supported icons including Kaytranada, Ben UFO, Chase & Status, Grace Jones, and Jazzy Jeff. Her festival appearances include Pitch Music & Arts, Let Them Eat Cake, WOMADelaide, Rhythm & Vines, Northern Bass, and more.

AROHA’s debut EP, No More Jenga (2020), showcased her innovative approach to electronic music, earning global acclaim and Spotify editorial placements. She’s since released standout remixes for POOLCLVB, Antix, and Kédu Carlö, as well as original tracks like Pūrerehua and Escape to Eora Country, the latter featured by CC:DISCO! on her “Track IDs” playlist.

2023 marked a breakthrough year for AROHA, with her Boiler Room debut and a 16-date tour with The Jungle Giants across Australia and New Zealand, followed by standout performances at London’s Colour Factory and XOYO. In 2024, AROHA & TALI released their debut single These Walls, a commanding electronic pop anthem supported by tastemakers such as Oliver Dollar and SHOUSE.

Later in 2024, AROHA released Let Her Rip (Toitū Te Tiriti), a powerful track sampling Māori politician Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke’s parliamentary challenge against New Zealand’s divisive Treaty Principles Bill. The track went viral, gaining support from Boiler Room, Radio New Zealand, George FM, and charting across New Zealand’s student radio network.

Throughout 2024, AROHA embarked on an Aus/NZ tour with TALI and performed at festivals including Pitch Music & Arts, Gaytimes, Axean (Bali), AUM, and Rhythm & Alps. With exciting new music set for release in 2025, AROHA continues to push boundaries and ignite dance floors around the globe.
