THE DISCO DADDIES DO DEVILLE
Deville Cafe

Before we began throwing parties across Aotearoa, 22 Tango, Everybody and Vino Paradiso spent a decade in London digging, DJing and fusing our collections into what eventually became the blueprint for the Tempo Schmempo sound. For the uninitiated, that's all things fun, funky, energetic, euphoric, deep, driving, weird and wonderful.

    Mono Era

    ELECTRONIC (LIVE), INSTRUMENTAL (?) | Genre

    Mono Era is a live electronic project born out of creative necessity in early 2023, when Danny Fairley and Dan Rainey built a full live show from scratch in just six weeks. Blending melodic songwriting with roots in house and techno, they quickly developed a distinctive sound using synths, drum machines and analogue performance. Now, Mono Era delivers an evolving mix of techno, house, indie and left-field electronica, driven by creative chemistry and forward momentum.

    OCDJ

    VINYL DJ | House, Disco, Funk, Soul, Indie

    OCDJ is a lifelong music obsessive with a serious weakness for groove. Raised on a steady diet of crate-digging and genre-hopping, he’s been connecting dots between hip hop, punk, funk, rock, jazz, soul, house, disco, indie, breaks and electronica since the late 80s — and putting them to work on dance floors since the mid-90s.

    Rare Specimens

    DJ, VINYL DJ | House, Disco, Funk

We take fun VERY seriously.

Tempo Schmempo began life as a slightly anarchic club night in 2018, offering DJ’s, bands, and artists a platform to express themselves. With diversity at the core of our ethos, the mission remains to celebrate each others’ differences through the music we love. Since then, we’ve grown in size and scope, now hosting regular events and club nights across Aotearoa and releasing music from our friends and collaborators.
