RHYTHMONYX 7 piece dub, hiphop, drum and bassy kinda crew hailing from the deep south of NZ, playing Nelson for the very first time before fistpumping their way to Luminate.
Big, funky bottom-line grooves from the lithe and muscular rhythm section of Richard Hogan and Rhys White. Urgent, edgy Aotearoa raps and vocal stylings from Invercargill's answer to Che Fu, Jono Leask. Insistent, chiming guitar chops from John Pfeifer. Fluid brass harmonies and stabbing punctuation from Rumi Koda and Nick Garraway. Dashes of electronica from soundman-MCP operator Tom Smythe. Combined, their sound is a fresh, vibrant and obesely phat mash of Kiwi grooves, Pasifika beats, reggae chops, old-school British ska, hip-hop and electronica: impossible to define, wonderful to behold. Opening for legends such as the Wailers, and rubbing shoulders with Tiki Taane, Katchafire, and many, many others, the RHYTHMONYX have firmly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the New Zealand Music scene, check out our Gig Guide on the Bandpage and experience the live energy for yourself!
