02 / BEHIND THE DECKS
NOT YOUR
USUAL TRIP.
TarrasQ brings a playful, melodic edge to progressive and off-beat psytrance.
Built around rolling basslines, catchy hooks and psychedelic grooves, TarrasQ's sets have a habit of taking something you recognise and sending it somewhere unexpected. Familiar vocals and melodies weave through driving rhythms, giving the dancefloor something to connect with — and a few surprises along the way.
The journey began with a first festival set at Massive Spring Equinox in 2015, followed by one-off nights around Christchurch. After stepping away from DJing for around five years to focus on family, a return to the festival atmosphere at Dragon Dreaming in 2026 brought that familiar pull back to the surface.
Now it's time to get behind the decks again.
