ANTIFORM release debut album ‘City In Exile’ Monday 25 May

Featuring collaborations with Tiki Taane, MC Twincam, Angelo Munro (Bleeders) & Julia Deans.

The name Antiform has been on the lips and turntables of Breakbeat and Drum and Bass pioneers for a lengthy amount of time already. ‘City In Exile’ – in stores May 25 - is their hotly anticipated debut album featuring collaborations with some of NZ’s finest artists, including Tiki Taane, MC Twincam, Angelo Munro (Bleeders), Julia Deans and Agent Alvin. New single ‘Bury Me’ featuring Awaking State is currently at Alt radio across the country.

Antiform have travelled a vast distance since their conception in the 2002 where brothers Josh and Luke Purcell met Brendon Spain on the national DJ circuit. Their combined talents have taken them from a local festival 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. If this wasn’t enough, Antiform have captured the attention of hugely influential producers such as The Freestylers, Freq Nasty, Screwface, Ctrl Z, The Autobots, Affinity, and their single ‘Got To Be You’ was play listed on the BBC’s Radio One with Annie Nightingale.

The 3-piece hail from Auckland - an unlikely breeding ground for the epic bass-driven, melodic riffs that have created mania on the dance floor and sent crowds of partygoers wild. In 2008 alone Antiform completed a hugely successful Australian Tour, sold out all three EP release parties for their EP ‘Got To Be You’ with over 800 people at each event. Antiform have also performed at NYE festivals, Rhythm and Vines and Phat09, The Big Day Out, and Our House Summer Festival at Western Springs.
