Sydney beats maker and
party-starter Kilter has
announced a three-date New Zealand tour. It follows the rip-roaring success of
his latest track - the sizzling and sexy Fool For You– and comes after solidly touring throughout 2015 and playing sold-out shows
with the likes of Rüfüs, Hermitude, Carmada and Little Dragon.
Since exploding onto the scene a few years ago, Kilter has
been at the forefront of the new wave of Australasian electronic artists. He’s
toured Australia extensively and has played all major festivals, wooing crowds
with his infectious live show.
He’s now poised to take Europe by storm, with a series of tour dates across the
continent, dotted with appearances at some of the biggest festivals at the
thriving heart of Europe’s electronic, dance scene including Positiv in France, The Sound You Need in
Malta and the Ephemere
Festival in Tunisia.
The accomplished producer will then bring his blend of atmospheric soundscapes,
pumping party tunes and cracking remixes to New Zealand, with shows in Dunedin on September 22, Christchurch on September 23 and Auckland on September 24.
Kilter’s
latest tune ‘Fool
For You’, featuring Micah
Jey, has been on high rotate in George FM’s Top 5 since March. It’s
clocked up a whopping 2.5 million plus spins online and has received much love
from the mighty Triple
J, across the Tasman.
With two Hype
Machine chart-topping remixes under his belt for heavy
hitters London
Grammar, Ben
Pearce as well as a #3 place for Duke Dumont, it’s
clear that Kilter’s
remix game is tight. His originals – from Want 2 featuring Porsches (that
has 2 million plays on Spotify alone), to the Flume remixed Gravel Pit with Matt
Miller and the GRMM link-up
on dusty hip-hop number Look
At Me – are evidently just as strong.
And his live game is next level! Kitted with drums and synth-gear galore – Kilter zooms
between keys, sample pads and drumstick duties – bringing his productions to a
new dimension.
Kilter credits
an upbringing surrounded by music at home and jamming in school jazz
bands. “Using
drums, keyboards and samplers I can perform and express myself in a way that’s
unique to that particular show and crowd. That uniqueness is what I’ve always
loved most about seeing my favourite artists perform and it’s what I try to
capture at a Kilter show.”
