Sonik Tonik is about to hit a milestone, as one of the longest running club series in Auckland, it turns an incredible 20 years this year. Dark Faces have been building a reputation across NZ for quality events and sound over event years, we couldn’t think of anyone better to team up with for this very special event, SONIK FACES is about to unleash.

For such a significant birthday and to celebrate the creation of SONIK FACES, we felt the only way to start is exactly how we mean to continue. With an all night warehouse party.

SONIK FACES is proud to present Brazil’s heavy-hitting Waltervelt. Developing his aesthetic since 2016, Watervelt was discovered by the indomitable Maceo Plex, who has since heralded him as one of the great names representing his label, Ellum. With a back catalogue that is played by pretty much every local house DJ you can name, his sound is diverse, creative and instantly recognisable. His influences are varied and range from indie through to electro, with a heavy dose of rocking good techno. Even if you haven’t heard his name, you have definitely danced to his music.

Putting together the support lineup for this was easier than counting to 5, we had DJs falling over each other for the opportunity to play alongside Waltervelt. In the end we decided to supercharge the whole night so we could have as many as possible, we are overrunning a killer warehouse space only 15 minutes from they city. If you’re looking for a night with wide-ranging, hot-stepping beats from start to finish, a journey through sound that will be second to none, a Funktion One soundsystem that punches in all the right ways, a safe environment that you can lose yourself in and a night out you will talk about for months afterward, this is the night for you.

Tickets are on sale now on Humanitix, they are limited and with a lineup like this we are sure they are going to fly so get in now to ensure you don’t miss out.
