Andy Pulzar

About Me

I’m Andy Pulzar, a house, electro & trance DJ, based in Christchurch, New Zealand. I’ve been a professional DJ since I was 15, playing in nightclubs, bars, festivals, coming of age parties, weddings, parties, formals, house, hard house and trance nights. I hold residencies with the two hottest venues in Christchurch - BASE Nightclub on Fridays (10-1) and TAXI CLUB on Saturdays (10-4). If you want to see a DJ that really knows how to pump up a crowd and put on a show, you need to experience Andy Pulzar!


Over the twenty plus years I’ve been DJing I’ve held residencies with clubs like Trinity, The Church, Smile, Azure & Liquidity. I’ve also played at the Loaded Hog, Ferment, the Hokitika Wildfoods Festival, and many, many private parties.


Career Highlights would include:
Jan 2003 - Supporting Andy Hunter in front of 15,000 people at Parachute Festival Extreme.
Oct 2004 - Playing at leading underground hard dance club SMILE in London at a night in the Chunnel Club in Vauxhall.
Nov 2005 - Playing the main support slot at Lagered, on the trance night’s triumphant return to Christchurch after 2 years absence.
Dec 2007 - Opening for Sneaky Sound System (with Craig Shaw) at the Civic in Christchurch. A completely sold out gig and a packed rooms. Andy & Craig were thrilled when the promoter asked them to play an extra half hour as they were doing such a great job.


In October 1999 with a business partner I started Pulzar FM , Christchurch’s home of dance music, a radio station that is considered one of the leading dance formats in NZ. I expanded my love of radio with the launch of Urban Breaks , a d&b / hip-hop / breaks station, in November 2004, operating 24/7 from a studio in a popular inner city café.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 03/08/2006
Band Website: www.djandypulzar.com
Band Members: Andy Poulsen (DJ Andy Pulzar)
Influences: Roger Sanchez, Axwell, Dirty South, Mr Timothy, TV Rock, Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Matt Darey, Paul Oakenfold, Tim Richards, Greg Churchill.
Sounds Like: When playing house I'd best describe my sets as "Ministry of Sound vs Hed Kandi" with a healthy dose of Down Under Electro House thrown in for a bit of flavour. A 4 or 5 hour set starts off with funky jazzy house and goes through to massive crowd pleasing pumping anthems.

When playing trance, an Andy Pulzar set includes the uplifting sounds of Armin van Buuren, Solarstone, Blank & Jones, Ferry Corsten or Agnelli & Nelson.
Type of Label: Major
