The ARC
THE ARC is DJ Paydirt, Scratch 22 and Legal Money Mike.

Starting as a party in The Basement Theatre in Auckland, THE ARC began as a community minded party featuring artists, skateboarders and musicians of all genres including Home Brew, Street Chant, The DHDFDs, and dozens of DJs from central Auckland. This party aimed to bring together everyone that existed outside of a particular scene - and through this a diverse style of DJing was born, and THE ARC started spreading, playing shows at festivals, other clubs, and in Australia.

Spanning from Snoop Dogg to the Smiths, from Kate Bush to Kendrick Lamar, THE ARC brings every kind of music, at once. Taking out two Red Bull Thr3estyle events collectively, and hosting a radio show on bFM, THE ARC are guaranteed to get the party banging quick fast.
