This Way Up Artist Agency Relaunch!

Great news, we've updated our rosters to include the TOP Dubstep and Drum and Bass artists from right here on our door step based in New Zealand and Australia.

We're also launching the Live Act roster (to be updated shortly) consisting of live instument bands playing the Dubstep & Drum and Bass we love; a unique and live experience designed with the crowd in mind with a vibe that can't be replicated in a studio.

JOINT FORCES





Based in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Originally started by long-time Drum’n’Bass producer Mysterious D and UK’s Dj Chewie in early 2008, Joint Forces quickly caught the eye of the international Dubstep community with their dancefloor orientated, bass driven, distinctive sounding beats. With an emphasis placed on the more hyper side of Dubstep, it wasn’t long before record label offers started to come in. In a matter of months of finishing their first round of tunes, Joint Forces had signed to four different labels from the UK, USA and Germany. Soon after that came the one like Soul Provider, and Joint Forces as it is now was formed.
