One of the most prolific MC's to come out of Drum and Bass in the last ten years, Tali's ability to freestyle and sing soulful, positive and intelligent vocals over the mix, has seen her stay top of her game. She has won a NZ music Award,  had a UK top 40 hit, won three Drum and Bass awards, released eight studio albums, and toured the world extensively as both an MC and live act.

Originally from a Farm in Taranaki, Tali moved to the UK in 2001 to follow her dreams of becoming a top international MC.
After signing to the legendary Full Cycle Label owned and run by Roni Size, Tali went onto to release the first ever DnB MC album 'Lyric on my Lip' and the single of the same name entered the UK top 40 charts. 
Her album 'Love & Migration' which was released on Fokuz Recordings in 2019 earned her Best Electronic Artist at the New Zealand Music Awards, and her most recent album  - her self produced LP 'Future Dwellers' saw her nominated for the same award in 2023. 
 In her 20 year career Tali has collaborated with some of the scene's most prolific names in both production and DJ/MC shows, is a regular at all of the summer festivals in New Zealand, and tours overseas regularly, with 2024 seeing her performing at both Hospitality On The Beach in Croatia, and Liquicity festival in The Netherlands. 
Tali also owns and runs her own record label 'Reign Recordings'

Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art.

He holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.

Cooper has enquired for over 15 years through music, collaborations, and his label Mesh, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations, performances, immersive experiences, online media, music videos and live events.  Anchored throughout is his emotive approach, connecting how ideas and forms feel, in a manner accessible to us all. 
 
As an artist synonymous with the evolution of club culture, Cooper honed his craft as a DJ with a 10 year residency at legendary Midlands techno event Firefly where he formed a foundational relationship with Architecture Social Club, with whom he still collaborates on extravagant immersive installations.

"I want to encourage the acceptance of electronic music as an art form like any other. Bringing electronic music and abstract audio-visual projects into concert halls, museums and galleries is liberating - the art world opens up doors to communicate in ways that aren’t possible elsewhere."
  
Pivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious:
 
"In both fields, you're in a sense, free. Free from the limits of living systems, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind."
