Shankara NZ are a cross pollination between dub instrumentalists and
bass music sculptors Brendan and Elijah. Hailing from the pristine
landscape of the South Island of Aotearoa, this duo’s collaborative
odyssey has conjured up high-fidelity hybrid dub-styles on internationally
acclaimed labels Shanti Planti, Dubmission, Desert Trax and Street Ritual
At the root of the Shankara NZ style are the sounds of jungle, dubstep,
techno and latin with a gentle orbit of ambient textures. This culmination
of original soundscapes, innovative composition and foundation
influences tethers together a unique, grounding, yet energetic listening
and connecting experience for any dancefloor or audience.
Shankara NZ have etched themselves as a festival staple throughout their
home country, as well as establishing themselves at major events across
Europe, USA, UK, Australia and South East Asia, including performing at
the 2023 edition of transformational festival colossus O.Z.O.R.A..
With a plethora of shows and releases incoming in 2024, Shankara NZ are
an ever evolving force who continually strive for original sound design
and deeper connection with the foundations of dubwise culture.

MDT consists of two musical brothers Joel Flynn(Tom Cosm) and Noel Flynn(Markj).
Formed in the summer of 06 in a St Kilda shoe box,Joel and Noel set about writing emotively draining power charged slut funk.With Joel’s production prowess and Noel’s skills behind the decks,MDT jelled together like a good pork brawn.
The Flynn’s take a light hearted approach to their music.They like to keep things fun with a marriage of humour, funk and a total mish mashed potato of genres.

Jimi Needles' musical roots are in hip hop, soul, funk, and disco, but on the turntables he combines pin-point scratching, intricate cuts, breaks, and bass music to craft a unique and high-energy sound that spans genres and keeps the crowd moving! His dynamic sets always pay homage to old-school classics while blending modern sounds, ensuring every performance is one-of-a-kind.

Known for his genre-defying party mixtapes, deck-defying festival performances, and an array of bootlegs and original productions on labels like Swing & Bass, Thick Boy Records, and Jungle Strikes, Jimi has built a reputation as both a skilled turntablist and an innovative producer.

In November 2024, he released his debut album, ''Ample Clearance'', a self-produced project that showcases his versatility as an artist, as a writer, a DJ and a producer. Jimi is also one of the tour DJs for the Symphonica Orchestra, adding his super-tight skills to their live and electric renditions of club classic dance hits.

The label’s aim is to develop new artists and build an experimental , innovative sound. A solid-state bass sound that’s tailor-made for the back streets as well as for the deep, dark & colourful dancefloor.
