Born and raised in Ōtautahi, Finlay Anderson AKA “The Rat” brings a relentless energy and passion towards techno and plays a key role in pushing the sound in his home town. The Rat’s style blends hardgroove, hypnotic, and industrial elements into high-energy, functional, and fluid sets. His sets have earned him slots alongside acts such as Boris (Berghain), Valerie Ace (Intrepid Skin), and Keepsakes, a residency with techno powerhouse label and local clubnight “HAVEN”, a radio slot on well established international platform HÖR Berlin, as well as appearances at festivals including Twisted Frequency, Rolling Meadows, and Electric Avenue.
