Wellington-based KITA bonds the folk, soul, storytelling and guitar of Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant with the sounds of Moog synth and Fender Rhodes from Ed Zuccollo (ZUKE) and the filthy drive and barking psychedelic drums of Rick Cranson.

“To experience a KITA gig is to witness a stellar example of 3 strong musical identities ... fusing together to create a synergy and oneness unparalleled on the scene today.” — Adam Page (The Shaolin Afronauts)

Introducing ZUKE: an electronic project from producer and synth-wizard, Ed Zuccollo. The ZUKE concept is an exploratory journey into
the physicality of deep bass, aimed at unleashing the immersive power of large sound-systems.

ZUKE has appeared at many festivals around NZ including Splore, Northern Bass, Twisted Frequency, AUM, Cubadupa, Luminate, Kiwiburn and Ignition. With recent overseas management and release in the making, ZUKE is one to look out for.

Established in 2007 and headed by Naomi Lamb, The Wanderer Productions is a place where art, video, performance, installation, VJing and collaborations are explored. Since its inception, The Wanderer Productions has collaborated with many practitioners and groups, with creative works installed and performed all over New Zealand, including Rhythm & Vines and Splore.
