Who is Arcadia and Half Cut are fresh off the M1 to bring you a new collaborative project in the form of Grooveworks. With their first project signed to Homage New York, the ‘Give Me More’ EP houses three club-ready tracks locally sourced from Newcastle and Sydney Australia. Expect classic big-time pianos, raw breaks & big basslines with a touch of acid to sweeten things up.
Who Is Arcadia, a vibrant figure in Newcastle/Muloobinba's dance circle, traces his rhythmic roots back to Chegutu, Zimbabwe. Renowned for his penchant for lively, raw, and pulsating dance beats, his musical prowess is evidenced by his steady release cadence, especially the notable '19:44'—a sold-out physical EP inspired by the Australian bushland, which has resonated with both Australian and international artists.
Apart from his music, Arcadia is an active advocate for the Newcastle/Muloobinba artist community, notably through 'Side FX'—a project dedicated to spotlighting local events, tunes, and talents. His impact on Newcastle's dance scene is undeniable. He's orchestrated iconic moments with NoFrills events, stood as the singular support for the X Club. and Kettema’s electrifying 4hr B2B, designed visuals for almost every rave in the locale, and headlined his own sold-out 'Open To Close' 7-hour set show with 404.
Half Cut has quickly become a regular fixture in Eora’s underground circuit, his tunes have already seen support from Craig Richards, Gene on Earth, Cromby, Youandewan, Francesco Del Garda, ANOTR, and NIKS. In 2022 he had his first song signed to a VA for Limousine Dream (Nug-Net), Gene on Earth's highly regarded label. In 2023 he signed to Homage New York with his “Here In Full EP”, who over the course of seven tracks explores euphoric house, coiling electro, and jacking acid; tied together by a remix from Panorama Bar regular & Potency Records boss Cromby.
Sharing bills with heavyweight names such as Marlon Hoffstadt, KiNK, Special Request, Sally C, Sam Alfred and Spray alongside a highlight performance at Lost Paradise, HC’s career is already headed in an upward trajectory.
On support we have EEJ (Newcastle/Muloobinba), EIJÆ B2B S.RINGO (Sydney/Eora).
