Auckland show is the formidable Halfqueen who has influenced a confluence of sound that is ever-evolving, musically speaking, into a local and global sense of diaspora; connecting the dots between genres and islands worldwide.

Since its modest 400 tickets-sold-out inception just two years ago in December 2022 in London and Manchester, Up Ya Archives parties have gone from strength to strength and have become something of a major cultural movement.
From her Bad Gyalz Day Rave last summer, to her 10,000 ticket sell out Warehouse Project Takeover and record breaking Boiler Room hosted by Charity Shop Sue for IWD that welcomed exclusively women, trans and non-binary ravers (the first ever for the platform), Nia Archives is paving the way for a new kind of dancefloor and centring those previously marginalised voices and ravers.
British GQ noted of her Bad Gyalz rave “As jungle blares from the speakers, I’m struck by the feelgood energy. Nobody is checking their phone or looking over their shoulder. Social anxiety seems to have been left in the cloakroom.” Through her multi-genre Up Ya Archives parties, Nia is using her platform and voice to lift up and celebrate those alongside hers, all the while shining a light onto creativity from the North of England.
A once-in-a-generation talent and global breakout star who’s covered every magazine from ES Mag to The Face, supported Beyonce and turned in remixes for Fred Again and Jorja Smith, earlier this year her ground-breaking critically acclaimed debut album Silence Is Loud record cemented her track for world domination.
Alongside a plethora of 4 and 5 star reviews across the board from DIY to NME, The Financial Times and The Telegraph and many more, The Arts desk described it as “the sound not only of a major talent, but a generational shift in ways of hearing, coming into focus” with The Guardian noting that “Archives is changing the landscape of dance music at an uncanny speed”.
The record that saw her bring Britpop to Jungle Music in a wholly unique and quintessentially Nia Archives way drew comparisons to everyone from Blur to Adele, Goldie and The Prodigyand placed firmly in the lineage of British dance music greats.
