Bio

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.

Antiform have headlined many major festivals, completed a hugely successful Australasian tour, sold out every party for their single and EP releases and have been playing to swarms of partygoers on the New Zealand tour for Ends of the Earth of which they feature no less than three times on the album with Got To Be You, Grip and Crash. These 3 singles have each proved to be hugely successful worldwide holding top 10 positions in the charts of Amplifier and Beatport.com download websites for months as well as music videos for Crash and Got To Be You receiving vast amounts of rotation on music TV around the world.

For Antiform performing live in concert has always been a major focus of the group since its original conception, bringing their honed studio productions to the stadiums, arenas and clubs to put on a show that is un-paralleled in energy, entertainment and musical mayhem. After working with various artists over the years, the band has recently brought on board MC Twincam as a vocalist and Sam Kingston as a guitarist, both of which have worked on several songs with the trio in the past. This new addition to band is sure to bring a show like no other and have the critics raving about the phenomenon that is Antiform.

Antiform have now release their debut album City in Exile which hit the New Zealand album charts at number 17 and reached iTunes top 10 in at the number 2 spot.
