The line up just gets better and better with the addition of EBM producer Body Beat Ritual off the back of his debut EP Mortal sin which really caught attention internationally. The launch of the EP coincided with a string of live shows across Europe, so he is very excited to have returned to NZ to showcase his talents to a Wellington audience with an exclusive Live set.
Closing out the night we have local label MARGINS co-founder Joe Sloane who has previous played at Emergence under the Guise Norma. Joe is heavily involved in the wellington music scene through RadioActive.fm High Definition Dance Music and of course MARGINS.

He’s played alongside some of the biggest names in techno, Released EP’s internationally, run ground breaking parties in Australasia, and most recently launched his latest party Klang in

As a producer Samari has released on international labels alongside his monthly show Construct Radio - broadcast from both Fnoob internationally and Art Style Techno in Budapest.
Body Beat Ritual - live
His name is Body Beat Ritual and his first EP has just been released on Bergerac so I think you can tell how the music has been received in the clubs since that fateful meeting.
'Mortal Sin' has been greeted with a resounding 'YES PLEASE' by new wave/electro DJs such as Alienata, Lokier, Ali Renault, techno tastemakers such as DVS1 and Rotterdam style dudes like Mick Wills and The Hacker. In short it massively delivers.
Incendiary, uncompromising, militant and massively banging are just some of the superlatives which can be applied to Body Beats music so it gives Bergerac and Rye Wax great pleasure to present his first ever UK live show. Expect edgy, dark wave, techno, new beat and electro bangers delivered in an intense shouty style.
