Drum & bass phenomenon Grafix is back with his brand new electrifying single Somewhere featuring Reiki Ruawei. Off the back of his most recent tour in the drum & bass loving paradise, New Zealand, he continues his streak of dance music sensations such as the anthemic ‘Overdrive’ with Metrik, acid-infused slammers ‘Acid Generation’, ‘Stutter’ and ‘Distressed’, or the heartfelt ‘Empty Bottles’ with fellow label mate Degs. Grafix’s latest release steps up to another level as a top-shelf sonic supplier.
‘Somewhere (feat. Reiki Ruawei)’ is a deep dive into Grafix’s constantly evolving production styles as he draws upon his influences spanning the likes of electronica, indie, dance and techno. The Devon-born producer crafts a crescendo of immersive pads, irresistible synth work and his signature precision-cut drums. Reiki Ruawei delivers a majestic topline as he proves why he’s a valued treasure of New Zealand. From performing with Cornerstone Roots at the age of 10 to being the lead singer of band Masaya, his most recent link up with Grafix is an essential tool to ignite any rave.
With exciting news of his debut solo album on the horizon for the summer of 2022, it’s going to be nothing short of a huge year for Grafix. Through his remarkable catalogue, production skills and exploration of musical styles, Grafix has racked up radio support from the likes of Rene LaVice, Danny Howard, Charlie Tee, and Mollie Collins. Be sure to keep an eye out for the return of his much loved live stream series, as well as tearing up the dancefloor at Hospitality In The Drumsheds NYE in December.
