Currently we are on tour throughout New Zealand with a few stops overseas in between.
'We' consists of two deejays from the KINETIC Crew based in Auckland
- DJ Dusty Grooves (hip-hop) and DJ Orawan (d&b).
Three support acts consisting of:
- Scalper from the United Kingdom
- Maitreya
And our band:
Mark Baynes on keys
Josh Sorenson on drums
Dixon Nacey on guitar
Ben Turua on bass
Then backing all of this is Scott Sound in Hamilton with sound tech Kyle and the BOMB SQUAD - Norman, Rob and Dave.
And can I just say all of these people make up one of the dopest crews hands down!
So with this in mind - we roll on up to venues with a mission to rock the crowd for over six hours. Make sure you drink your RED BULL to give you wings!
