Loop are proud to announce the debut Loop Electronic Tour, a three-show series across Aotearoa this November, celebrating the artists and sounds of Loop Electronic – the label’s new imprint dedicated to forward-thinking electronic music.

Featuring live performances from Sanoi, Harry Charles, Zuke and Dylan C, with special guests Mia Kober in Auckland; Libby K in Wellington and Neil Rice in Christchurch; the shows will deliver an immersive experience highlighting the breadth and creativity of Aotearoa’s evolving electronic scene.

Loop Electronic: Tour 001 marks the first official showcase of the Loop Electronic label. Loop Electronic was launched in 2024 as a sub-label of Loop Recordings Aot(ear)oa, with a focus on releasing forward-thinking electronic music from some of Aotearoa’s most exciting producers. Its roster spans a diverse range of styles, from ambient and downtempo to melodic techno and jungle-inspired rhythms, reflecting the depth and creativity of the local scene.

Each show will bring together a curated line-up of electronic performances, inviting audiences to step inside a world of deep grooves, textured soundscapes, and hypnotic rhythms.

“For 24 years, Loop has backed a really eclectic mix of New Zealand music – from pioneering electronic producers to a steady flow of bands and collectives. On the electronic side, Loop artists like Recloose, Electric Wire Hustle, micronism, The Upbeats, 50Hz, Module and Rhian Sheehan have laid a super-solid foundation. In recent years, with some bands on Loop finding commercial success, it feels like the right time to launch a sub-label to support the more niche end of the electronic scene,” says Mikee Tucker, founder of Loop.

Presented by Mānuka Phuel, 95bFM, Radioactive and RDU, tickets for the November tour are on sale now, HERE

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Sanoi
Sanoi crafts expansive, melodic techno that moves both the body and the mind – deep, groove-driven music designed for dancefloors and introspective moments alike. Whether delivering peak-time DJ sets or crafting Brainfeeder-esque studio productions, he brings precision, emotion, and prolific creativity to everything he touches.

The tour comes ahead of Sanoi’s upcoming new album, AUGENBLICK, a 19-track journey through electronic textures and lo-fi beats. Out October 10, new single ‘Try It’ captures one of his most playful yet dancefloor-driven moments to date. Currently available exclusively on cassette, the album will be released digitally shortly.

HARRY CHARLES
After seven years immersed in Berlin’s dynamic music scene, Harry Charles returned to Aotearoa with a sound shaped by slow house rhythms, live instrumentation, and soulful vocals. His work blends traditional songwriting with a deep, groove-centred sensibility, creating rich, emotive sets that blur the line between live performance and club experience.

After the success of his album MOVEMENT released earlier this year, Charles has just dropped ‘The Luck’, a new single which marks a shift towards more energetic and uplifting styles, designed with one goal in mind: to light up dancefloors.

ZUKE
Aotearoa’s underground gem, Zuke (the electronic alias of Ed Zuccollo) occupies a genre-fluid space where cinematic detail meets bass-weighted energy. His kaleidoscopic productions traverse ambient, jungle, and deep house influences.

Zuke’s 2024 album COME CLOSER was his long-awaited debut album. Expect tracks like this, and more from Zuke’s treasure trove of unreleased goodies, at this tour, with more new music to come before the end of 2025.

DYLAN C
Loop’s very own, Dylan C is a household name in the scene. Deep cuts, dub pressure, and a journey through the shadows – Dylan C doesn’t just play tunes, he sculpts atmospheres.
