Dillon Francis (US) - Christchurch
2022-07-15 20:00 - 2022-07-16 00:00 | Ngaio Marsh Theatre – Haere-roa, Haere-roa, 90 Ilam Road, Christchurch, 8041, New Zealand
For the last decade, Dillon Francis has barely stopped moving. Since he first broke out with a series of vivid, vibrant dance tracks, he’s maintained a whirlwind tour schedule, playing festivals and shows across the world. In between making hilarious music videos, designing his own clothing line, and writing a surreal animated TV show, he has, of course, issued a nearly countless number of electrifying cuts.
His restlessness has made for otherworldly, overwhelming music and compelling art no matter what medium he’s working in. There are always new worlds to explore.Since rising to prominence as a standout in the colorful moombahton scene of the early 2010s, Francis has made a lot of music, both in collaboration and on his own. He’s made head-spinning dance music, brash rap tracks, and breezy reggaeton, though all his best moments blur together all these worlds and more. Part of the fun of listening to Francis’ music has become that you never know exactly what you’re going to get.
The diversity of his catalog has always been a strength—his genre bending hit “Get Low” with DJ Snake was RIAA-certified platinum, “Coming Over” with Kygo [feat. James Hersey] was RIAA-certified gold plus topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, “Sexo” with Residente was RIAA-certified Latin gold, and “Anywhere” [feat. Will Heard] went to #1 on Dance Radio Airplay.

TOGA 🌿 TOGA 🌿 TOGA 🌿
Mixing it up for 2022, the UCSA brings you RE:ORI ’22 | TOGA.
Toga is the ultimate fresher rite of passage and this year we’ve got a special treat! 2 epic multi genre stages as we party like GODS. Wrap up warm in a bed sheet, slap on some vines and glitter, and you’re ready to party.
Featuring:
DEADBEAT
DEADBEAT is the alter ego and musical concept of creative Shelton Woolright. In its simplest form DEADBEAT is essentially a unique high energy ‘Drum DJ’ set delivered with conviction, layering live drums over an elliptic mix of hip-hop, Trap, DnB and electronic with a hint of rock. Think ‘Girl Talk’ meets ‘Travis Barker’.
At a closer look DEADBEAT is more involved. This is not just a ‘DJ set’ this is a visual LIVE experience, a collection of incredible music and samples uniquely mixed together to bring the concert/festival goer a never seen before live experience. All brought together by a hard-hitting, feverish live drum rhythm!
DEADBEAT is an original, inspired live experience.

PORIS
PORIS has quickly created a name as a highly skilled DJ, and as someone you need to pay attention to. After bursting onto the scene in early 2020, PORIS (real name Paris) has toured nearly non-stop since. She has already graced the stages of Rhythm and Vines, Bay Dreams, Northern Bass, and the majority of the most notorious venues around New Zealand. She has also played support to some of the biggest names in DnB including, Kanine, Netsky, Alix Perez, Hybrid Minds, Andy C and A.M.C. PORIS shows her passion for drum & bass by throwing down energetic sets and flooring audiences in any and every setting.

NO COMPLY
New Zealand rapper/producer duo, NO COMPLY take their music seriously, but themselves, not so much. Their music is bold and considered, yet they infuse a playful and melodic take on the rapidly changing, forever evolving, genre we know and love as hip hop.

DJ SPINAL
It wouldn’t be TOGA without the man, the myth, the legend – DJ SPINAL. This man has been a staple over the past few years, throwing down bangers old and new to keep the students happy. Make sure you get your tickets to see this man in the flesh!
