Vanadis is the duo of Kristin Nielsen (DJ Woosh) and Tim Webb (Webb), both members of the Dunedin's Subz'n'Breakz' Kru (SBK) (www.sbk.co.nz). Having formed just under 2 years ago, Vanadis are quickly establishing themselves in the New Zealand drum n bass scene with their signature deep & musical sound.
Having produced separatley for a number of years they came together to find they shared similar musical tastes; so it seemed like a natural step to begin writing tunes together.
Musicality is very important to Vanadis, taking inspiration from a wide range of musical sources including soul, jazz, funk, latin, hip hop, roots and world music.
Vanadis have a number of collaborations underway, including projects with artists such as Agent Alvin, Pacific Heights, Trei, Kali, Mojaz, alongwith vocal tracks featuring Kyla, Beau & Tipani.
Already with solid DJ support from the likes of Sabre, Bachelors of Science, Switch, Jazz Thieves, Patife, Nick D, and Rene Le Prou, aswell as their debut 12" release on TrueTone recordings scheduled for 2007, Vanadis are off to a flying start.
Vanadis provide an energetic DJ set, combining their experience with a passion for getting the crowd moving. Vanadis have played along side the likes of London Elektricty, DJ Zinc, Roni Size, MC Dynamite, Shapeshifter, and Concord Dawn & recently played a series of sets throughout NZ including stop-offs in Auckland, Christchurch & Phat 07 NYE Event.
Vanadis also host one of New Zealand's longest running drum'n'bass radio shows 'Subz'n'Breakz' on Dunedin's B-Net Radio One, which is about to enter its 9th year.
Vanadis - Enter The Blue - Debut CD-EP
It has been a long wait, but the time has come for Vanadis (Kristin Neilson & Tim Webb) to cement their reputation as one of the rising forces in the NZ drum n bass scene. The release is the result of 2 years work & experience in the studio, & marks the beginning of a new local imprint, 'SBK Recordings'.
Consisting of 5 tracks, The VANADIS DEBUT EP entitled ‘Enter The Blue’ features the 'creme-de-la-creme' of tunes that Vanadis have produced since their beginnings 2 years ago. With a focus on the deeper side of drum n bass, it includes collaborations with PACIFIC HEIGHTS and Auckland based trio CERN. Enter The Blue includes tracks such as ‘The Angels Share’, ‘Rise’, and ‘Enter The Blue’, which have been gaining solid local and overseas support from the likes of Bachelors of Science, Liquid Gold, Sabre and more. This is just the beginning of what looks like a very promising future for the production duo. Make sure you do not miss this.

This release has been played for quite a while receiving some amazing feedback from every artist who’s been supplied with the track.
The Climax, great summery track with the characteristic Digital Base vibe, full of intensity and melody. This track could easily fit from any dj playing in Ibiza to any breaks dj trying to get the girls shacking their body to the beats. A clear win win situation with The Climax and once again another great track under the iBreaks brand.
New World Order sees Digital Base in the remix duties, revamping one of the biggest track of all times in Dead Famous Records. The original track by Robosapiens has been reworked by mr Base injecting it with tons of groove good feel and squeezing the massive Stephen Hawking vocals… This is the New World Order!!!!

Sharkweek is proud to announce the launch of his new album, "Egyptian Lions".
The new album offers lush soundscapes punctuated with surreal samples, playful melodies and manipulated found sounds. The musical themes drift between ambient, pop and dub.
Spheres of inspiration include outerspace, all manner of pop culture, and infomercials. Musical influence comes from varied sources such as The Orb, Future Sound Of London, Orbital, Boards Of Canada, Lemon Jelly, Astralasia, and Banco de Gaia. This eclectic mix, coupled with some stellar guest appearances from other musicians makes for an evocative and sometimes surprising listening experience.
"A mystical journey through lands afar ... trippy soundscapes, psychedelic ambient dub, futuristic space adventures and glitchy electro pop .. an ear orgasm of sounds that twist and turn evolving into a collection of songs that is intriguing, beautiful and a dose of epic electro trippiness.
