Zero (UK)

Bass icon ZERO has become a stalwart of the UK garage and bassline scene over recent years and his debut New Zealand tour includes a special one-off performance at Hide, Christchurch on Thursday, October 13 2022.

ZERO is proving how hard graft and natural instinct can take an unknown producer to the pinnacle of a genre. Growing up in Woking, Surrey, Christian Williamson showed an inclination for music production but his skills grew substantially upon relocating to Brighton to enrol on a Music Technology course at the University of Sussex. The first Zero release surfaced in 2017, Zero’s first fully-fledged bassline collaboration Forget It with Bushbaby on Brighton’s Southpoint Records.

As Williamson continued to establish his distinctive, FX-driven approach to production, Arrival - as featured on Holy Goof’s Fabric Live ’97 CD series – was followed in 2018 by his edit of Enter the Dragon based on DJ Pied Piper & The Masters of Ceremonies’ chart-topping banger Do You Really Like It. 7 million YouTube streams later and Zero finally had the visibility that Williamson craved.

With live shows now returning, Zero’s explosive, high-energy sets will be dominated by sounds from the past, present and future, while a brand new 7-track mixtape Feel So Free (Guilty as Charged) promises to showcase Williamson’s newfound versatility as a producer, aiming to develop within the bass genre and mark Zero as a staple on the electronic dance music scene.

This tour is produced by Breakout Presents, an Endeavour Live Brand and Production.
