Red Rum Touring & Cassette Nine Present.

THE MAGICIAN (KITSUNE/BELGIUM)

His background is shrouded in mystery, his powers are supernatural and his reputation is whispered about among men.

He goes by different names, but folks just call him The Magician.

Hailing from the ever popular and fashionable Kitsune label, the Magician has proved with his stellar productions that he is at the forefront of modern disco at this present time.

On Thursday the 24th of November The Magician is here for the first time in New Zealand to put you under his spell and make you dance like there is no tomorrow. So come get lost in a purple haze, transfixed in a flurry of white doves. As he will make party goers float through a disco heaven and takes them around the house on a magic carpet ride.

Saturday, October 15 at 10:00pm - October 16 at 6:00am

Cassette Nine

This weekend Razzle Stack returns with some special international guests and a stellar lineup of local ladies!

From Sydney we have MC Kween G + Bad Ezzy with support from MayaVanya, Bridge, R.I.A, Pizza Cat & your host M-Tron.

In The Man Cave we have Safari Boy DJing and Outfit Theatre Company celebrating the wrap of their rad show Love After Dark.

MC Kween G and DJ Bad Ezzy are the newest duo on the musical block. Already established in their own rights as members of KillaQueenz & Hoops the ladies have joined forces to create something new and exciting in club land.

Between them they have the experience of supporting the likes of Public Enemy, Dizzee Rascal, Salt N Pepa, Wu-Tang Clan, Diplo, Kelis, Lady Gaga, The Presets, Yolanda Be Cool, Rye Rye, South Rakkas Crew, Tha Alkaholiks, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Lucky Dube and many more as well as gracing the stages of countless festivals including Good Vibes, BDO, Groovin’ The Moo, Splendour, Parklife, Falls, We Love Sounds and Laneway Festival.

DJ Bad Ezzy is renowned for throwing down mind blowing sets that journey through dancehall, Hip Hop, bashment, tropical house, UK funky, dubstep, garage, club bangers, heavy bass jams and everything in between. She has a knack for picking future sounds and a reputation for leaving a trail of blisters on the dance floor.

As an MC, Kween G’s focus is potent content and flawless delivery and style. Kween G makes music that excites, entertains, and enlightens her listeners, but most of all she makes music to “move ya behind to”. Her work ethic and commitment to her craft is admirable, but it is her fighting spirit, courage and humility that has earned her respect across Australia.

2011 promises to be a big year for these talented ladies - make sure you don’t miss this event.

DJ Revolution (USA) Live @ Arcade Video!

Photos from the evening can be seen at http://bit.ly/pmsaNm

Saturday, September 17 · 6:00pm - 8:00pm


At age 12, DJ Revolution began DJing on a makeshift mixer and belt drive turntables assembled by his grandfather.


11 years later, he moved to LA to pursue his dreams as a hip hop DJ.

On a chance invite to play a small set on the legendary Wake Up Show, Revolution walked in to the midst of hip hop royalty. Amongst the crowd in attendance were the show's hosts - Sway and King Tech, as well as Rob Swift from the X-Men and Q-Bert's entire Skratch Piklz crew.

Jumping on the airwaves with a mixer he had never seen before, Revolution delivered an amazing showcase and sealed his pass to the hip hop hall of fame.

Invited on to the Wake Up Show as full time DJ, Revolution has manned the most prolific hip hop show in the world for the last 10 years, and participated in some of hip hop's most important moments.

He is signed to NYC's Duck Down Records.

This Saturday night Arcade invites you to share in the legendary moment some 10-odd years ago, when Revolution rocked the turntables in a legendary showcase.

Watch Revolution take to the decks before his Saturday night gig and witness one of the most skilled turntablists in the world today.

Goldie & MC LowQui (UK) Fabric Live Tour @ Zen Video!

Goldie created his debut album, the immaculate ‘Timeless’ on his Metalheadz imprint, in 1995. 16 years later, the sentiment rings true: it sounds remarkably more progressive and idiosyncratic than ever. ‘Timeless’ as a concept defines who Goldie is, in every sense of the word. Decades from now, his music, art, charismatic gold smile (remnants of his teenage days as an alchemist, selling gold teeth in New York) and larger-than-life aura will still intrigue and confound even the most jaded of historians.

There are many faces to the complex creative, far beyond his musical accomplishments as an iconic and ever-evolving producer, being largely responsible for Drum & Bass’ most stirring, experimental and symphonic work. Or as an uncompromising DJ that’s lit up bassbins in just about every city across the globe, for well over two decades. Or as bold leader of the iconic Metalheadz label, harnessing an international roster of groundbreaking artists.The endless list of his non-music titles are equally wide-ranging as they are surprising: historical graffiti artist (covering his estate with over 60 murals by the age of 17); acclaimed fine artist; author; orchestral conductor; part-time Hollywood actor; gossip column mainstay; ‘Eastenders’ character; reality TV and documentary star; father; yoga enthusiast (“This past year, I’ve done 87 classes in the UK - 20 in America and about 25 in Asia - so I’m up in the hundreds, baby.”). Perhaps his atypical background exemplifies the strength and infinite possibility of a person’s creative spirit.

"This music - this wildstyle music - is not for the faint-hearted. I tried to get the alchemy right, which I've done on this mix: each of these are standalone tunes. It is dynamic, it does take you from one extreme to the other, because for me that's what my life is like. It'll be bikram yoga one morning, then DJing long into the night. Everything is balanced, not too much of one thing. When I think of the D&B tunes on this mix, I think of them as spiritual euphoria, like I've been lifted out of something."
Goldie

As Metalheadz strongly rides into its 18th year, the label and its leader keep the focus on progression and future-geared ideals, without ever succumbing to the incessant whirrs of today’s hype machine. As the various offshoots of bass music morph around them, MDZ continue to explore and expand the confines of drum & bass with their global army. ‘FABRICLIVE 58: Goldie’ is an embodiment of the Metalheadz mantra: forever finding ways to challenge formulas and take the D&B sound into an intelligent, deeply spiritual - and downright primal - sphere. A loud and proud snapshot of his Metalheadz stable, and the likeminded artists that stay at their level on equally progressive D&B labels, the mix features some of the most cutting edge and visionary music on the genre’s helm. ‘FABRICLIVE 58’ stands as proof that their stance within the music world is, quite simply, unmovable - not today nor in the world of tomorrow. Time stands no chance.

17 Albert St
Auckland, New Zealand

CLOCKED promotions and FuZen are proud to present….

SAMIYAM (LA) (Brainfeeder/Hyperdub/Poo-Bah)

Yes only a month or so after the release of his sophomore album “Sam Baker’s Album", we’ve got him here direct from LA LIVE…

For the uninformed, Samiyam is an instrumental hip hop producer that has made huge waves worldwide with his unique sound. He has been pivotal in popularizing the particular soundscape also famously dominated by the likes of Clams Casino, Gas Lamp Killer, Nosaj Thing and Flying Lotus (who Sam also produces with, as FLYamSAM).

His last visit here saw him play live off MPC's/Samplers to a full capacity show at Cassette, wowing everyone in attendance. His energetic set consisted of old school hip hop, heavier dubby beats, glitchy synth heavy rhythms and funk/soul/RnB elements. He also brought with him a whole swag of unreleased collabs/remixes/mash ups featuring the likes of Fly Lo, DJ Premier, Big Noyd, Blu, Jay-Z, Alchemist, Radiohead, Exile, Lil Wayne, Shlohmo and more.

Local support from SCRATCH 22, BEN JAMIN (live), FINDERS KEEPER, JOHNNY SABLE, MOPPY & MAD WORLD.

This is one of your last chances to embrace the quality hip hop/atmosphere Zen provides since it’s closing- SO BE THERE. Also as it’s midweek, Samiyam will be on ~12:30, so there’s no excuse for 9-5er’s to miss this. For those wanting to make a night of it (as you should be!) there’s an after party at Third & Social with the amazing LOWQUID headlining.
