They’ll perform alongside pillars of the Kiwi DNB community The Upbeats, whose unique and organic take on 170bpm+ bass music has seen them make their home in the highest echelons of dance music worldwide.
Other drawcards include Belgian-born producer Alix Perez, who has released a string of winning records since his critically-acclaimed debut album 1984; TREi who has been a leader in the drum and bass scene down under since 2007 and UK-born, NZ-based legend Chiccorelli.
