This July will see the long awaited arrival of Survival to our shores to showcase his unique flavour of Drum and Bass direct from the U.K. Accompanying him will be the Kiwi artist now based in Melbourne known as Consequence. 2009 saw both Survival and Consequence release their debut albums on dBridges hugely respected label "Exit Records" which has inspired this combination of the "Survive For Never" tour. Both of these albums possess the style and quality that you would expect to be selected and backed by a Drum and Bass Don such as dBridge and you can be assured that this will be a DnB night with a special difference.
$20 (incl b/f) pre sales are available from Quest - Shotover st
SURVIVAL
Audio Tactics / Exit / DNAudio / Quarantine
Surfacing under the guises of Akustic Research and Banaczech on Vinyl Addiction and Partisan Recordings in 1995, Steve Kielty parted company with co-conspirator Roy McCabe and after a long break from drum & bass re-emerged as Survival in 2005.
With a plethora of well received releases on labels including Creative Source, DNAudio, Quarantine, Critical, Shogun Audio as well as his debut self titled album released on Exit Records in 2009 show that Survival’s deep, organic sound has rapidly earned him a reputation as one of the true craftsmen of modern Drum & Bass.
Collaborations with D-Bridge, Break, Silent Witness, Fierce, Sabre, Chris Inperspective and Zero Tolerance clearly illustrate the respect he commands from his peers and with his newly launched Audio Tactics label providing a focused outlet for his productions his fan base is expanding as rapidly as his discography.

ORGANIKISMNESS
Protogen / Optimus Gryme / Bassweight / Delicious / Extent / Mindtech
New Zealand Drum and Bass, Dubstep and electronica producer Organiksimness aka Harry Bretherton has been crafting his hybrid sound of sonically raw organic ditigal music for over a decade now and has seen releases on labels such as Protogen, Optimus gryme, Empathy, Betamorph and Bassweight recordings.
As a "Dj" or more rightfully titled a "musician" Organikismness has Played extensivly throughout New Zealand and Austrailia alongside some of the biggest names in the industry such as Dub FX, Kryptic minds, Black sun empire, Klute, The Mad professor, Pendulum (Live), Diesel boy, Spor, Noisia, D bridge, Andy C, Goldie, Benga, scream, Caspa, Distance, Pitch Black and Shapeshifter among many others.
This in itself is a massive acheivement as an artist, not to mention the fact that Organiksimness is one of only a handful of Dj's worldwide in the drum and bass and dubstep community that plays nothing but his own original material. This hinting to the standard of production and proformance you can expect from an artist seen by many as one of the most talented and diverse producers to come out of New zealand to date.
2010 See's the release of " Form in Motion " on Bassweight recordings, Form in Motion is Harry's 1st album as a solo artist and is truly a great example of a full spectrum sound and a multi genre album like non before it, watch out for the album in all good record and online stores April 1st and the Form in Motion Live tour heading throughout New zealand, Australia, Europe and Asia later this year check www.organikismness.com or www.bassweightrecordings.com for more details.
