The story

Sunset Sessions by Coco House Bros in 21.3 Vaiana's Bar and Bistro

Sunset Sessions is a recurring house and disco night run by Coco House Bros, an indigenous DJ trio from Rarotonga, at 21.3 Vaiana's Bar and Bistro on Cook Islands' south coast. Running since 2020 with free entry, numbered editions and guest DJs from across the Pacific and beyond, it pairs sunset views over the lagoon with a steady, unpretentious dance floor that locals treat as a regular fixture rather than a special occasion.

Three DJs from Rarotonga built Sunset Sessions out of a single beachside afternoon slot at 21.3 Vaiana's Bar and Bistro, and the residency has held steady since 2020.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The pull is the residency itself: Mark Zow, Doctor E and Anthom have kept Coco House Bros running at the same beach bar since 2020, building a sound that ranges from deep house to disco and techno without chasing trends

02

The mystery stays covered

Sets are timed to the sunset, so the lighting and the music arc together across the afternoon

03

The city starts moving

Guest DJs from New Zealand, Australia and further afield rotate through regularly, keeping the lineup fresh while the location and free entry stay constant

04

The water draws everyone in

It is a rare thing on Rarotonga: a genuinely local, recurring club night rather than a one-off tourist event, and the numbered editions give regulars something to follow
