In just over 2 years, Wahine (wah-hee-neh) has risen from total obscurity into a rising star in the disco scene. Winning the Defected Croatia mix contest in 2019 and making her international debut at the boutique festival put her on the radar of many following a 10 year hiatus from DJing.
Wahine co-hosts Spin City on the World’s #1 House Radio Station, MyHouseRadio.fm, in addition to contributing guest mixes to many important shows in the genre, including Disco Deviance, NDC Radio, and Disco Daze, . She also writes a guest column for the #3 house music blog, LeVisiteur.com, and kicked off an interview show for Only Good Vibes in 2021 focused on US-based talent.
Wahine’s sound can be described as “Disco in Paradise”—sundrenched and full of tropical influences, matching her Hawaiian moniker. Funky licks are spiced with percussive jams with both equal parts brains and brawn.
This year she began her foray into music production and her early mashups are already receiving support from radio shows from The Black Light Disco to OpenTempo FM.
November of this year, she will launch her first international tour with dates in Glasgow, Liverpool, Warrington, London, Leeds, and more cities to be added. In January 2022, she will make her first tour through Mexico.
