The events industry in our country needs more support than ever and our government's approach is to only give people who already have money, more money so it's up to us, the underground to support each other and keep our community thriving.

We're going full throttle with our production with this, seeking to capture the the feel of being at the festival for a one night out of season experience.

We also have people putting their own work in as giveaways to help support the cause, those, line up and a few other things to come.

For now, help the cause, get a ticket, all proceeds will go to twisted!

Georgia Knight with her full live band

Banished Music proudly welcomes Georgia Knight back to Aotearoa, following her standout solo performance at The Others Way. After captivating audiences with a spellbinding set that lingered long after the final note, Georgia brings her singular world of sound back to New Zealand stages, expanded, immersive, and more powerful than ever, this time with her full live band. 

Naarm-born and sometimes Aotearoa-based, Knight crafts otherworldly pop from autoharp, dusty loops, synth textures, and avant-garde edges. Her 2023 EP Hell on Bent Street established her as a rising force, with appearances at Dark Mofo, Rising, Camp A Low Hum, and shows alongside Blonde Redhead and Mogwai. 

It’s been a big 12 months for Georgia. Her independently released debut album Beanpole, described by KEXP as "an evocative set of dimly-lit, hypnotic, psych-tinted pop", earned praise from Sharon Van Etten, Arab Strap, and BBC Radio 6 Music. Critics highlighted her "shadowy, seductive trip-hop textures" (KCRW), "extraordinary vocal range and graveside poems" (The 13th Floor), and "goosebumps"-inducing live performances (BBC Radio 6). 

Supporting the album, she was booked for a string of highly coveted festivals including The Great Escape (UK), Golden Plains (AU), Phoenix Central Park (AU), The Others Way (NZ), and Port Noise (NZ). 

Now touring her 2025 album Beanpole, recorded with Andrew ‘Idge’ Hehir, Georgia returns with a fuller, immersive live show, intimate, cinematic, and impossible to look away from.

SYLC & - for their first time in Auckland - Ghost Media are proud to present: SATL (PL) at Neck Of The Woods.

Live and direct from Poland, SATL is a bad boy producer and DJ with a focus on the soulful side of DnB but also branching into Dubstep on occasion and even Hip Hop, having recently released a banging album with UK rapper, Saxon.

Making this night even more special is Ghost Media joining us for their first excursion in the 09, and of course, that means the boss man Young Gho$t will be on hosting duties for the evening - along with giving us a special hip hop set with 0800 on the decks.

Joining them on the way up from Wellington will be Whaea G, who’s opening up the proceedings, providing us with some chill sonics to warm up the best basement on K Road from 9PM. Gianni will also be making her Auckland debut, so make sure you come early to witness her mad selections across the board.

Next up is Lucca.je - a seriously talented producer and DJ from Tāmaki Makaurau. Lucca has a big bag full of his own productions, all yet to see the light of day via a release; we’ve been lucky enough to get a taste and are very excited for you to as well. Come early to hear some of the freshest, unreleased bass music in the city on a proper system from the man himself.

To round out the evening will be Pearly B2B Iridescent - both of whom are making the pilgrimage up to Tamaki with Gho$t and 0800 from Poneke. These two are seriously good selectors, both of which having supported numerous international DJs and are regulars in the Wellington gig circuit, playing out frequently. Pearly has an affinity for the soulful side of dnb, but also isn’t afraid to shell out with the rolling sounds. Iridescent is much the same, running his From The Dome mix series, showcasing NZ DJs and producers rolling the aforementioned sounds and more. He’s also been grafting away on Ableton for time now - we might be lucky enough to catch some of his dubs, it’s high quality stuff!

With all of that, we welcome you to join us on the 21st of March at Neck Of The Woods for a night of skanking and connection, amidst top tier soulful DnB with forays into hip hop and bass music featuring some very special out of towners - one not to be missed!

A style that’s quickly earned growing international support and a solid run of festival and club appearances. Now it’s time for his debut headline Aotearoa club run. Expect high energy sets built on punchy rhythm, melodic hooks and constant forward motion, moving freely between house and techno sounds.

Along for the ride is Naarm/Melbourne based DJ & producer Prizefight, bringing a bass heavy, genre fluid approach that cuts across garage, techno, breaks and house. He holds a high reputation for keeping floors moving.
