Kia ora friends and fans!
We've got a special show coming up at Abandoned Petone! Featuring Iskra as a trio, then expanding to a never-seen-before quartet with long-time collaborator Stealthy Nipz on percussion and freestyle verse, then continuing the party with Torchie on decks and live flute. This is not one you wanna miss!
------------------------------------------
ISKRA
Iskra are an otherworldly trio heralding from Te Whanganui a Tara formed by saxophonist Josh Buckler and featuring Simon Grove (Niko Ne Zna) on Helicon and David McGurk (Planet Hunter) on Drums.
Inspired by the likes of Sons of Kemet and the London Jazz scene, they bring driving grooves, soaring melodies and the fire of afro-beat, Balkan music and a style that is best described as Brass-House. Think dance party at the end of the world, when the last lights have gone out.
Seasoned hip-hop and dubstep artist Barley Prendergast Smith aka STEALTHY NIPZ is joining Iskra's ranks for this special show at Abandoned Petone.
TORCHIE (DJ)
Torchie primarily conveys the finest in jungle, liquid drum & bass, tech, and 140s/dubstep.
As a multi-instrumentalist with classical flute and vocal training, Torchie’s musical sensibility allows him to create rich melodic sets and soundscapes.
Drum & bass influences : Calibre, Alix Perez, Marcus Intalex (RIP), Commix, dBridge, Goldie, Fracture, Pola & Bryson, Etherwood - and more.
140s: Mala, Loefah, Truth, Saule, and Dubamine (among many others).
Doors 8pm, Music from 8:30pm
Tickets at UTR $15/$10 presales / $20 on the door
