On the 24th of June, Wellington industrial techno diehards Duo Alias descend upon Aucklands Whammy Bar to celebrate their latest LP, released on renowned Irish label Variance.
Theyre bringing us a hard as nails live set. Prepare to sweat. Samari will be slamming out dark, tough Berlin sounds in support, preceded by KRM of Twin Digits, who will be opening the night with an array of esoteric tracks.
Dont be a dick to anyone.
