Survival (UK) & Consequence (CAN) - Survive For Never

Survival and Consequence - Survive For Never tour [AKL]

Time    July 24 at 10:00pm - Sunday at 6:00am

Location    Zen - 17 Albert St. Auckland

Drop Bass NZ

This July will see the long awaited arrival of Survival to our shores to showcase his unique flavour of Drum and Bass direct from the U.K. Accompanying him will be the Kiwi artist now based in Melbourne known as Consequence. 2009 saw both Survival and Consequence release their debut albums on dBridges hugely respected label "Exit Records" which has inspired this combination of the "Survive For Never" tour. Both of these albums possess the style and quality that you would expect to be selected and backed by a Drum and Bass Don such as dBridge and you can be assured that this will be a DnB night with a special difference.

Saturday 24th of July @ Zen 17 Albert st
Also featuring CERN with support from Hakomi and Shift
Boosted low end in the venue for the night

SURVIVAL

Audio Tactics / Exit / DNAudio / Quarantine

Surfacing under the guises of Akustic Research and Banaczech on Vinyl Addiction and Partisan Recordings in 1995, Steve Kielty parted company with co-conspirator Roy McCabe and after a long break from drum & bass re-emerged as Survival in 2005.
With a plethora of well received releases on labels including Creative Source, DNAudio, Quarantine, Critical, Shogun Audio as well as his debut self titled album released on Exit Records in 2009 show that Survival’s deep, organic sound has rapidly earned him a reputation as one of the true craftsmen of modern Drum & Bass.
Collaborations with D-Bridge, Break, Silent Witness, Fierce, Sabre, Chris Inperspective and Zero Tolerance clearly illustrate the respect he commands from his peers and with his newly launched Audio Tactics label providing a focused outlet for his productions his fan base is expanding as rapidly as his discography.

Shots Of The Day - Cause 4 Concern (UK) @ Zen Set #2

CAUSE 4 CONCERN: http://www.myspace.com/cause4concerndnb

That every cause has an effect is common knowledge. For Optiv, Stuart, Toby and Mark, the cause is drum & bass, and their effect is both indelible and undeniable. Known collectively as Cause 4 Concern, the crew came together back at the start of 1999, when Optiv was affiliated with Aspect Records, and Stuart and Mark were working for Vinyl Distribution.
A testament to their talent, it took only a few short months of collaborative creation before they scored their first signing – and not just to any old label –
but the massive and seminal MOVING SHADOW. At the time they were known as nCode, but by July they had become Cause 4 Concern and started their own imprint label. The first 12” dropped that December, and secured the support of DJs Doc Scott, Fierce and Grooverider, amongst many others.
Releases on respected labels Tru Playaz, Renegade Hardware, Moving Shadow and Timeless Recordings were to follow.
Promoter’s right across the planet couldn’t help but pay attention, and consequently there aren’t many places C4C haven’t performed.

They have all been djing separately for over 3 years and have supported many international and local acts such as Datsik, Shock One, The Upbeats, Noah D, Foreign Beggars and Trolley Snatcha to name a few. Their music is energetic, mind-blowing and undeniably rising in the Dubstep music scene. They all bring different assets to the group which gives a unique twist to their beats.
