The name Antiform has been on the lips and the turntables of Breakbeat and Drum and Bass pioneers for a lengthy amount of time already, but their latest achievements have made everyone wake up and take note. Antiform are a band of musicians, producers and DJ’s that produce and perform their unique fusion of breakbeat, rock, hip-hop, drum & bass, metal and contemporary styles of music to people the world over. Hailing from Auckland, Brothers Josh and Luke Purcell met Brendon Spain on the New Zealand DJ circuit and with a mutual interest in producing and DJ’ing electronic music, they eventually conceived Antiform in 2002. Their combined talents have taken them from a release on a local Breakbeat CD to the Hardcore Beats 3 compilation and being nominated for Best Breakthrough DJ at the Breakspoll 2008 awards in the UK, making them the first Kiwis ever to be nominated for this huge accolade.
Antiform's early projects with Auckland’s MC Twincam spawned It's All About which hit number three on bFM’s chart. In 2007 Antiform delivered Boombox, the track created major hype with Screwface remixing the tune for Hardcore Beats 3 and was signed by the UK’s biggest Breakbeat label, Hardcore Beats. Since then Antiform has done nothing short of skyrocket in popularity and are now know around the world as respected producers and musicians with a unique and highly acclaimed sound. Antiform have captured the attention of hugely influential producers such as The Freestylers, Freq Nasty, Ctrl Z, The Autobots, Affinity and many more.
