 GRAFIX (UK)

Famed as one half of ‘Fred V & Grafix’ and now signed exclusively to Hospital Records, Grafix solo career has risen to new heights, delving into darker territory with his dancefloor primed production. Early releases caught eyes of many including ‘Acid Generation’ and more recently the ‘Parallel’ collab with Metrik and ‘Empty Bottles’ with Degs. Come and see why Andy C, Metrik, A.M.C and High Contrast are banging this mans tunes out all over the globe.

 LEE MVTTHEWS

Tom Lee and Graham Matthews are the definition of running red hot right now having become a favourite on the NZL festival circuit making 5 festival appearances in 5 days over the 20/21 New Year including a standout performance on the main stage at Rhythm and Vines. This launched them into 2021, taking out the top spot in George FM’s Aotearoa Anthems Countdown ahead of playing around the country with DnB legend Wilkinson as his main tour support. Their latest release ‘In A Moment’ (ft. Watson) has now arrived and is another melody driven heavy hitter that sits as the #1 Hot NZ Single.

 FLOWIDUS

There wasn’t a bigger 2020 track in New Zealand drum and bass than Friction and Flowidus ‘By Your Side’. We all knew it, and banged it out over summer non-stop. This tune an addition to their stomping collaborations with Trei ‘Don’t Breath In’ and ‘Reason’ with Lee Mvtthews and a touring run through 2020/21 that UK artists could only dream of. Signed now exclusively to Elevate Records (Friction’s Label) the sky is the limit for this pair, one Kiwi and one Aussie who will join to play together at this show for the first time in Hamilton.

 HYDRAULIX B2B OSKI aka HYDROSKI (AUS)

Is there a more iconic pair of artists that represent the culture, taste and form of The Back Bar over the last 5-10 years? We expect a big turn out from our OG fans for this first-time on NZL soil, super exclusive B2B set as the pair perform as the iconic HYDROSKI. Packing some of the hottest crates of 140-150 808 trap and dubstep in Australasia; the pair boast collaborations with Liquid Stranger, Rickyxsan, UZ, Tynan, Phase One and Ookay and both have touring schedules that reflect their international audiences in the US and Asia. We CAN NOT wait for this!

 LOCAL SUPPORT

Five headliners leaves one support slot (insane we know) and who better than Back Bar and Playbook residents Nicola Tims, Troy De Silva and Tofushop in a special B2B opener.
