English house superstar DJ and producer Nick Warren (pictured right) brings his album release party to only two centres in New Zealand: Queenstown's Debajo, on September 6, and Auckland's Flight Lounge, on September 7.

Warren is celebrating the release of his latest album Balance 018. He began his career 20 years ago as tour DJ with Massive Attack, before he moved to a residency at club Cream. He has played his eight albums in every major club in the world.

Limited tickets for the Debajo night cost $25 plus booking fee from iticketexpress.co.nz. The R18 show starts at 9pm.

• I Am Giant postponed its Queenstown gig on Wednesday as the band was unable to get to the resort because of snow. The gig was to be in Revolver.

The London-based alternative New Zealand rock band aimed to reschedule the gig for early October, along with a Christchurch date, organisers said.
