Sunset Sessions 028 – One Beach. One Sunset. One Vibe.
Date: Saturday 30 August 2025
Location: Vaiana’s Beach Bar, Rarotonga
Event: Sunset Sessions 028
Series: 5-Part 2025 Edition (April to December – every two months)
A Golden Continuation
Two months after the soulful depth of Session 027, the Coco House Bros returned to Vaiana’s Beach Bar for Part Three of the 2025 five-part series. The day unfolded under a flawless sky and glass-calm lagoon, pure island perfection.
This chapter saw the trio perform completely back-to-back from start to finish: three-track rotations through the afternoon, then two-track bursts from 7 PM until close at 10 PM. It was pure flow, no headliners, no breaks, just one seamless thread connecting sound, setting, and people.

2:00 PM – 4:00 PM | The Warm-Up Glow
The afternoon began with warm, melodic house and sun-lit disco grooves. Classic reworks and smooth soulful edits drifted across the beach as the first cocktails landed. It wasn’t about volume; it was about texture, bass soft, percussion steady, and melodies glowing in the early light. The crowd eased in, conversations slowed, and the day took its first deep breath.
4:00 PM – 6:00 PM | Groove and Connection
By mid-afternoon, the beach had found its rhythm. The groove turned tighter, the vocals more expressive, the transitions instinctive. Soulful house met modern funk, Afro percussion brushed up against 90s nostalgia, and energy rippled naturally through the crowd. The dance floor expanded metre by metre until the sand itself seemed to move.
This was the connective core, where everything clicked. Every track felt like a continuation of the last, each rotation another voice in the same conversation.
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM | Sunset Synergy
As the horizon flared gold, tempo met emotion. The trio wove deeper grooves with cinematic build-ups, layering vocal house, disco-tech and warm melodic hooks. The sunset painted everything in amber and sound, waves, laughter, and four-four beats merging into a single rhythm.
People danced barefoot in the shallows, silhouettes framed against the lagoon, every mix fluid and unforced. It was effortless chemistry between DJs, crowd, and nature.
8:00 PM – 10:00 PM | Afterglow and Elevation
As night settled, rotations tightened to two tracks each, and the energy ignited. Deep, percussive tech rolled into playful funk and peak-hour bangers, punctuated by surprise vocals and nostalgic flashes. One minute a soulful sing-along, the next a hypnotic tribal groove, the next an underground anthem reborn.
By 9 PM, the entire beach was pulsing, a sea of bodies moving as one under stars and string lights. The final hour was pure release: euphoric builds, rolling basslines, and closing sequences that blended emotion with momentum. When the last note faded just after 10 PM, the applause was long and genuine, a full-circle moment that needed no encore.
Why It Worked
Sunset Sessions 028 distilled the essence of the series: simplicity, chemistry, and trust. One beach, three DJs, and a crowd that knows why they’re there. The back-to-back format erased ego and structure, letting the music breathe and the story unfold naturally.
028 proved how far the series has evolved, from concept to culture. Every rotation felt earned, every transition made sense, and every smile on the sand told the same story: when you do less, but do it right, everything aligns.
What’s Next
Next up: Sunset Sessions 029 – Halloween Edition, Saturday 1 November 2025. Expect darker grooves, and the same Coco House Bros philosophy, energy, unity, and house music in its purest form.
If 028 was flow, 029 will be fire.
