Fragile focuses on bringing you, the clubber, the most upfront and euphoric hard dance in NZ with the hottest and most colourful hard dance DJs/performers. Fragile celebrate their first birthday this coming
December 9th @ Kiss and Bacios, don't miss out!
Whats Planned for the first Birthday?
We felt it important that everyone experience Phil York in an intimate comfortable environment whilst also importantly keeping ticket price to a
minimum so its affordable for all, so where better to hold such an event than at
Kiss &
Bacios (309 K'road) which regularly hosts internationals such as
Steve Hill,
Technikal and
Yoji Biomehanika as well as feature all-ages events such as
Urban and
Spectrum.
We also believe its more important that the music do the talking above having a large venue, so we've spent our budget bringing you some of the best established local talent NZ has to offer - after all, your there for the music right? As always, Additional
Laser Lighting will be brought in set to blow you away, Live Visuals from
Mohawk Media (http://www.mohawkmedia.co.nz/vj.htm) - as featured previously at Oxygen, DV8 and of course Fragile. And finally as with all of our events, performers ready to entertain you alongside the music (back in June we had a special visit from
Spongebob).
Global Panic means meeting new friends from across Auckland & New Zealand, with the added bonus of both R18 and all-ages rooms moving the party to the next level and experiencing the same internationals on the same night. It means raising the temperature even higher over 8 scorching hours! Interested?
Who are the locals playing on the night?
We've hand-picked many of NZ's finest locals to appear on the night, established names of which most of you will already recognise and those of whom play regularly on many of the Biggest parties held in this country. Firstly our resident crew;
Justin Sane & Taz (Slinky/Chemistry/Summerdayz) now signed to the UK's
HWC Recordings, our long-standing Brit stop-over
Mattboy Slim (Global Panic/UPFM/Monkeyfeather) and lastly the gorgeous and multi-talented
Hoover Kitty (Zebedee/Fevah/Nitro). Finally to complete the R18 zone, we picked one of NZ's most popular hard dance DJs and one half of production duo
High Dosage from
Fired Up Records in the UK - Mr
Terry Wizz (Zebedee/Godskitchen/Resolution).
Also appearing in the All-Ages zone we have the delightful funky house talents of Lil Miss
Harri (YBR/Ignition), the epic and euphoric trance sounds of grandmaster
CJ (Kiss/Chemistry/Gatecrasher),
Crisis & Disorder (Nitrate/Fragile/Pulsar FM) our two Christchurch
Nitrate all-ages favourites flying up specially for the night, and lastly all-age hardcore favourite and Urban pimp master
Kam (Spectrum/Planet Hardcore/Innovators) also signed with UK label -
Prophecy Recordings.
So there you have it, a stellar line-up in both rooms fit to support a big international hard trance DJ/Producer, and just enough information to wet the whistle and give you guys a small insight into this fantastic night!
