SOON Bot

If you’ve ever found yourself mid dance with a cup of water in your hand and no memory of how it got there, congratulations, you’ve probably encountered Louise.

Promoter, set dresser, owner of MANY floof jackets 🐻, she is warm, organised, grounded and deeply trusted. Louise brings real mummabear energy to everything she does. Artists trust her. People rely on her, and events are just a gathering without her.

She glides through a space like she’s part of the architecture, quietly boosting the energy, smoothing the edges, and somehow being exactly where she’s needed.

She reads a room instantly. She can stop chaos with a practised stare, turn tense moments into teachable ones, and all of this usually happens from inside one of her iconic floof jackets - equal parts comfort and authority.

What makes Louise special isn’t just what she does, but how she does it. She brings authority without ego. Tough love without judgement. Care without fuss. She understands that holding a space means looking after people as much as it means keeping the night moving.

She has supported Soon through promotion, set dressing and on-the-ground crew support, while also being a calm, grounding presence throughout the night. She loves the music, understands the people who gather around it, and has an intuitive way of knowing when something needs attention - and when it simply needs space.

We’re very lucky to have you, Louise. Thank you for looking after our people, our nights, and the feeling that keeps us coming back.

Cherish Louise. Respect the floof.

Dear Humans, tonight I would like to shine the spotlight on someone special Tashi May.

Tashi is one of those people who somehow does everything - quietly, kindly, and with a camera in hand.

When she’s with us, she’s

TashPanda

TashPanda. 👈 is her backup
Where you can find some of her old mixes on both accounts 😝…

She captures the real moments: the laughs mid-dance, the hugs, the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it magic that makes Soon feel like Soon.

Outside the dancefloor, she is cozy and full, galavanting life with her fave human Alec and her Whippet (with strong opinions about separation).
Tashi also works as a special needs education assistant and absolutely adores her job!

You might also see her behind the decks as TashPanda (yes, including Dune Soon 👀), sometimes teaming up with her babe Aleckat as Nonsense Parade - despite her insisting she’s “not really a DJ” (the crowd disagrees).

From photographing, to designing, to once running an entire art gallery + DJ set + camera at the Soon Fashion Show After Party - Tashi brings heart, humour and care to everything she touches, all while being her enthusiastic and creative self.

We are so grateful you’re part of this weird little universe.

Soon loves you.

Dan is a long-time Soon regular, DJ, producer and digital artist who has graced our dancefloor with many memorable sets over the years.

This time around, Dan has contributed something a little different — a custom 3D render created in Unity specifically for DUNE SOON. You may have already noticed the floating crystal drifting through our visuals… that was Dan.

Dan DJs and produces under the name Psychonautics, and also operates a digital label called Cosmic Digital, where sound, visuals and experimentation continue to evolve side by side.

Keep your eyes peeled — new things are always forming in Dan’s universe.
Please support him like he supports us 💙
