aum winter series RETURNs

SUPPORT BY

SHARKRA, VYXN, FERKSTA

Friday 25 September

Auckland Warehouse location

We’re back with our second AUM Winter Series for 2026 on Friday, 25 September, a psytrance showcase.

This year’s first Winter Series event was the largest we’ve held and the biggest psytrance event in Tāmaki Makaurau so far this year. In September we go even bigger with a global star of sound, Danish artist Morten Granau.

We are excited to host Morten Granau for his first visit to New Zealand. This will be the biggest psytrance event we’ve done through the year since Infected Mushroom a few years back.

This will be another old-fashioned psy stomp spanning a few subgenres of the psychedelic realm over the night. We also have quality local support DJ Sharkra, VYXN and Ferksta.

SHOWCASE: MORTEN GRANAU

Morten Granau is a veteran of the psytrance scene and one of the leading names in Europe. The Copenhagen native’s production style has the psychedelic touch of classic progressive trance combined with a modern sense of clubby funkiness. His sound has seen him partner with close friend, Phaxe, who was our guest on the first Winter Series event in June.

Morten entered the world of psytrance in 2001 when he was just 13 years old. He immediately began the path to becoming a DJ and producing his own tracks. By just 15, he was already performing to dancefloors at clubs in his hometown. His production skills and career quickly bloomed and he was soon releasing records as High & Mighty alongside Phaxe. Their production “The Grudge” put them on the map in a big way.

His solo productions were staples on the leading label in psytrance in the 2010s, Iboga Records. And in the 2020s he’s had dozens of records released on the iconic German psychedelic label, Spintwist Records.

Morten’s unique musicality has made him a sought-after DJ at events and festivals around the world. He can be seen on some of the biggest festivals, including Tomorrowland, Burning Mountain, Indian Spirit Festival, Antaris Project, Mandallah Festival in Brazil and many more.

ABOUT THE AUM WINTER SERIES
AWS showcase the sounds, decor and vibes seen at AUM Festival each new years. They’re a chance for people to see what AUM is all about and for our festival community to reconnect during the year.

Our first 2026 event in June was the biggest Auckland psytrance event of winter so we thought we’d do it again.

We have some special treats lined up for you and we’re so excited for the first visit to New Zealand by Morten Granau.
