According to many, 2011 was the breakout year for multi-genre Melbourne duo Diafrix – catapulting them from cult live favourites to a new-found appreciation in the public eye. Early in the year, they were hand-picked as the national support act for one Bruno Mars, followed up by the release of their biggest single to date with the Daniel Merriweather-assisted “Simple Man”, garnering high rotation on Triple J, Nova and Austereo’s Hot 30. In addition, the boys, undertook their second European tour in two years, playing packed-out intimate venues in Paris, London, Bristol, Monaco and Amsterdam, as well as rocking the WOW! Stage at the legendary Glastonbury Festival.
Now in 2012, Diafrix kickstart the year with their brand new single “Running It”, a mellow, catchy creeper that takes in as many indie rock influences as it does from its obvious drum-n-bass beat pattern. It is a taste of what’s to come from Diafrix’s incredibly eclectic upcoming LP (produced by Styalz Fuego – 360, The Aston Shuffle), due for release in mid 2012.
In addition, Illusive, Elefant Traks, SHM and Premier Artists are proud to present the Running To Shine National Tour, combining the dynamic pair of DIAFRIX and JOELISTICS, two of Australia’s most eclectic hip-hop forces. Spanning fourteen dates across the country this coming March and April, two of 2011′s breakout acts will grace the stage in a rare joint collaboration tour.
