We are kicking it on a SATURDAY night this time too!
ALION
Ali has been touching, terrorrising and tantalising dance floors and supermarket aisles with her own unique and unpredictable style of bass delivery since well before the cows came home.
A proud small town girl, Ali was born and raised in gumboots at the top of New Zealand's south island growing up listening to Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Charlie Pride and the likes. Continuing feeding herself throughout her teenage years on a contradictory diet of grunge rocking and outdoor festivals, Ali developed a lust for playing and creating repetitive bass driven noise.
Formerly one half of successful NZ drum & bass/dubstep duo ORGANIKISMNESS, infamous resident at the now defunct PHAT club for 7+ years, once promoter of PIE and founder and astounder of the ROAST crew, Ali turned her back on all of it in search for an inner peace and key to unlocking the ever-present question Why'
It was during this time of reflection that Ali decided to let go of what had become her main squeeze, drum & bass, and run free with the wolves in a forest of glitch and galangs, toms and tangs, wubs and wangs, booms and bangs. From Ghetto folk, dub funk, glitchin electro twitch step to raw old school jungle breaks, bangin hard house beats and disturbingly big bass lines. Anything goes.
Over the years Ali played support throughout NZ to some of the biggest names in the drum & bass game including: Goldie, Klute, Andy C, Aphrodite, TeeBee, Digital, Noisia, Roni Size, Dynamite MC, A sides, D Bridge, Pendulum, BSE, Concord Dawn, Tiki, State of Mind, Shapeshifter and so many more.
More recently Ali has found her way back in to the studio and is embracing her love for noise making and creating again. She has had her first solo release under the Alias DISTRACTED.
The one and only Alion is but a magical trolley, guts and all. Ready to roll, willing and thrilling, waiting to touch you in her own special way. Get in.
(Other alter egos include: Distracted, TrolleyGuts, Ruff As, The Touched/Toucher)
RANDA
- Suburban kid rap music.
Born the year of Wrestlemania IX, Randa enjoyed trips to the VHS store growing up.
on weekdays she was either rocking Mathematics/Spelling tests
or faking sick watching Sally Jesse Raphael.
Was she inspired by Eminem, David Faustino or Carlton Banks'
We may never know, probably all of the above.
THE LARNACH MONSTER
Sarah (The Larnach Monster) has been based in Sydney but now resides in Auckland. She is an artist by day collaborating with Ladyhawke on both her albums.
She has DJed at alt-homo nights \Snatch&Grab\ \GayBash\and \Girlthing\ that made Sydney fun for young ladies for the last 3 years. As a DJ, she knows no shame and loves to play the so-bad-its-good tunes from the funnest genres.
