CALIBRE + MC DRS
(Signature / UK)
SATURDAY 28TH MARCH- DOUBLE HAPPY

The most respected producer in Drum and Bass today returns for 2009 with his lyrical partner MC DRS!
Continuing his beyond prolific release schedule, it’s no surprise that Dominic Martin aka Calibre has released 2 double albums since his last visit here less than 18 months ago. With his new double Shelflife 2 compilation about to be released, the time has come for another tour of New Zealand to sprinkle some more of that Calibre & DRS magic New Zealand has become so incensed with. The reclusive overlord of everything funky and soulful in Drum N Bass loves New Zealand and its drum and bass crowds and we love him right back. 2007’s tour was the debut of MC DRS in this country, and to say he set himself apart from all other Drum and Bass MC’s every night is an understatement. We proudly offer you a night of pure sonic beauty in the presence of this incredible musical duo. Indulge yourself!
SUPPORT: DROP (Dunedin) and Urban Notion
TICKETS ON SALE NOW FROM COSMIC CORNER - ONLY $32 +BF. more on the door.

TELEMETRIK (USA)
(BSE RECORDINGS)
SATURDAY 21ST MARCH- DOUBLE HAPPY

Marcio Alvarado (a.k.a. Telemetrik) is an electronic music producer hailing from Washington D.C. He has been releasing electronica since 2002, when he started the independent label Telemetrik Recordings to distribute his music. Before returning to work last year on a solo album, he was best known for his involvement in Corrupt Souls, a Drum n Bass collaboration he formed with Josh Clark (a.k.a. Impulse) in 2003.
Corrupt Souls released music under various established Drum and Bass labels including Moving Shadow, Renegade Hardware, and Black Sun Empire Recordings. Songs like “1138” on BSE, “Wicked Life” on Moving Shadow, and “Samsara” on Circle Recordings, helped propel the duo into the Drum n Bass mainstream. They were featured in Knowledge, Urb, and Rinse magazines, and toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe.
Telemetrik’s first full-length solo album, My Lightyear, was released in 2008 on Black Sun Empire Recordings. The record was praised for its technical and melodic style, and is performed by DJ’s and producers around the world.
