Pearly is a wellington-based dj and vocalist with a deep love for the golden era of 2000s liquid funk, alongside the modern sounds carrying that spirit forward. her sets move between soulful liquid, rolling dnb and deeper techstep, always driven by strong selection and a love for digging out the records that deserve to be heard.
With an ear for hidden gems and overlooked cuts, Pearly places real value on selection - bringing together old favourites, forgotten gems and fresh releases to create sets that connect the sounds of then, with what’s happening now.
Her technical mixing and genuine connection to the music have already earned recognition from respected names - including v recordings co-founder Bryan Gee, New Zealand drum and bass legends MC Tali & Tiki Taane, and the iconic Kiwi dnb band Shapeshifter - having just come off an 8-show nationwide tour as the support act for their 20th anniversary soulstice tour.
For Pearly, it’s about bringing the feeling of that golden era forward - keeping the soul, warmth and musicality of liquid funk alive while giving a new generation a reason to fall in love with it all over again.
