Caru & Brandn Shiraz 'Two For Two' Tour Announced

Blowing up big time in 2026, Caru and Brandn Shiraz scooped this year's Te Manu Taki Tāhiko o te Tau | Best Electronic Artist Tūī award and have just announced a nationwide tour of Aotearoa New Zealand. Toasting their hot off the presses new Two for Two EP — "as well as our other recent shenanigans" — the Tāmaki duo will be moving dancefloors in Ōtautahi, Ōtepoti and their hometown's Goblin in the coming weeks, having already ticked Pōneke's MOON off their bucket list earlier this month.

Weaving together Caru's carefully crafted beat-scapes "drawing on the sounds of UK garage, broken beat, UK funky, dubstep and more" with Shiraz's unparalleled lyrical flow, if you want to experience the vibrant sound of Aotearoa's club underground in 2026 then look no further than Two for Two.

Press release:

Caru and Brandn Shiraz unite through a shared love of UK dance music, bringing together their distinct creative voices across a series of collaborative releases. Following their debut EP, Back 2 Back (2025), a project inspired by the pioneers of pirate radio, the duo now return with Two for Two. This bold new five-track EP deepens their exploration of contemporary club music. Building on the foundations of their previous work, the project showcases an evolved sound, blending forward-thinking production from Caru with Shiraz's unmistakable MC presence, while paying tribute to the dance music cultures that continue to inspire them.

Their recent notable sets across Aotearoa include The Others Way and Cuba Dupa, a summer tour which saw them take over the stages of Northern Bass, Matakanarama and Twisted Frequency in the span of 24-hours, then closing out the season with an epic warehouse party in Mangere supporting UK dance music forces Bakey and Capo Lee.

Two for Two is supported by a nationwide tour, playing their songs live and direct on dancefloors across Aotearoa. Working alongside the venues, soundsystems, promoters and DJs who have supported Shiraz and Caru every step of the way, the tour will be presented by Garage Sale, GoldTooth, Norty Club Collective and 103 Soundsystem – a selection of respected and leading dance music figureheads in Aotearoa.
