Antix / Fiord  

A N T I X

Somewhere back in the late 90’s brothers Barton and Hayden Strom fresh faced and a love for electronic music formed the soon to be world famous outside New Zealand – ANTIX. Iboga Records in Denmark got whiff of the new sound and promptly signed the two brothers who then produced their landmark debut album “Lull” in 2003...



The album won over fans and critics alike, with tick all box’s from the media and a string of killer live performances the brothers were building a solid reputation as one of the most in demand progressive acts on the planet. The touring trend followed as the boys started clocking in big festival dates to crowds in excess of 15,000 and performed in some of the most respected clubs worldwide.



Follow up albums often have a lot to live up to and when “Twin Coast Discovery” in 2005 was released the album demanded attention and once again placed Antix as ambassadors on the world stage. Last year the boys raised the bar even higher with their next installment entitled “Wanderers” and the follow up DVD/CD "Wandering" a collection of remixes and tour documentary of their last US tour. With "Wanderers" they've have taken their sound to the next level using their infectious bass lines and minimal grooves unleashing a hint of old skool flavor proving that the lads still have the Midas touch.



2008 started out with a bang with Antix being nominated and then placed runner up for the best In their game on the Beatport Music Awards. With no time to rest on their achievements, the show must go on, the touring continues and somehow there's time to re rub a few mixes, originals and develop ideas for the next Antix Album! Stay tuned!

F I O R D

Smoldering from the infamous Slowburning Studios at the bottom of the South Pacific this sultry electronic duo have been writing captivating beats and storming dance floors across the globe for the past 8 years. As FIORD unfolds, their sound reeks of a new approach, producing a textured techno rhythm far hotter than any branding iron ready to stamp its mark. Working closely with these outlaw ethics and pushing the envelope even further, recent results are already turning heads.



Fiord sounds have been in high demand with the boys in 2008 headlining the Glade Festival (UK) and Rhythm and Vines (NZ) both stamped with the “it places to be”. Remix work has been sought after and picked up by Dieb Audio, Sprout, Underwater, Therapy Music, Whoop!, Flow Vinyl and Kasey Taylor and his new imprint eVapour8. With support and high praise from Hernan Cattaneo, D-nox, Frank Beckers, Anthony Pappa, Jim Rivers and John Digweed the future is definitely moving Fiord.
