New Forms: 20th Anniversay Tour

In 1997, Roni Size & Reprazent released an album that would change drum & bass forever. Now in 2017, to celebrate 20 years of "New Forms" Roni Size will take his ground breaking new audio-visual live show on tour to Australia & New Zealand.

The combined live instrument and hardware show features state of the art production and 3D effect projection mapping; and marks the first time Roni has performed the Mercury Prize winning album 'New Forms' as a solo performer.

This one is special.

One of the definitive electronic albums of the 90s, New Forms brought drum 'n' bass into the mainstream. Fighting off industry heavyweights including the Spice Girls, The Prodigy, Suede, Radiohead, Primal Scream and The Chemical Brothers, Roni Size & Reprazent won the 1997 Mercury Music Prize, going on to sell 300,000 units in the UK with its release on BBC Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson's Talkin' Loud records.

Roni Size's whole life has been about building something new from whatever was around him. From Bristol youthclub parties, through the white heat of rave and the founding moments of jungle and drum'n'bass, to transforming underground electronic music into something that could be played by a live band on the biggest arena and festival stages, he has at each stage created completely afresh - not just a sound or style but an entire methodology of how music can be made. And each time, that new creation has reflected his heritage, his surroundings and the precise moment in which he's operating.

20-years ago, The Mercury Prize win for his 'New Forms' album brought D'n'B to the forefront of dance-music news, making even the rest of the industry - where reactions had up until that point been bemused - sit up and pay attention. For several years thereafter Roni and team were on top of the world, succeeding as solo artists as well as a collective, maintaining underground credibility yet receiving Brit awards and even collaborating with some of the biggest names in hip hop.

2016 was a vintage year for Roni. Live shows included Ram Records' NYE show at O2 Academy Brixton, a headline show at the BBC 6 Music festival and a summer festival season that began at Love Saves the Day with a curated Full Cycle Stage Takeover for Arcadia Afterburner and included Secret Garden Party, Evolution, Glastonbury, Blissfields, NASS, EDC, Dour, Boomtown, Frequency, Lowlands, Creamfields, SW4, Outlook, and many more. Roni relaunched Full Cycle Records with fellow co-founder, DJ Krust, with the releases drawing praise from The Wire, Dummy, UKF, Mista Jam, 6 Music, Gilles Peterson, Radio 1, 1Xtra, DJ Mag and beyond.It is now in 2017, as we fully appreciate the legacy that Roni has created for drum'n'bass, that the next chapter begins. Roni has announced UK tour dates featuring his groundbreaking new audio visual live show, a combined live instrument and hardware show that features state of the art production and 3D effect projection mapping celebrating 20 years of New Forms. Roni will be taking this groundbreaking live show on the road as well as DJ'ing at the very best clubs and festivals throughout the globe... and watch out for some very special surprises along the way!

The man from Bristol shows no signs of letting up, as 2017 looks set to be one of his best yet.
