CHORES
Chores are an award-winning duo whose emotional dance-pop floor fillers have established them as one of the most exciting electronic acts south of the equator.
Their tracks often receive widespread play throughout New Zealand and Australia, and helped earn Chores the award for ‘Best Electronic Act,’ at the 2018 Aotearoa Music Awards. The pair also won ‘Breakthrough Artist of the Year,’ at 2017 the George FM awards, and were nominated as finalists for the coveted ‘International Achievement Award," the following year.
Chores have spent years honing their craft, DJing, and performing as a full live act at New Zealand's biggest festivals; Rhythm and Vines, Northern Bass, Bay Dreams, and Deep Hard N Funky.
Additionally, they have supporting dance music luminaires Basement Jaxx, What So Not, Duke Dumont, Peking Duk, The Chainsmokers, A-Trak, and many more. In early 2019, Chores were handpicked to put their spin on ‘Weapon Of Choice’ by the legendary Fatboy Slim for an EP of remixes.
In 2021 Chores released their debut EP, WORKING FROM HOME, which featured some of Australasia’s best up-and-coming and underground vocalists. Following on from this the boys dove into releasing their debut album, “Are we dreaming,” which came out in November 2022. It features lead singles, 'My Love,' 'Let Go,' and 'Indigo,' and has already amassed over two million streams with the six singles released into the market.
"This got a stadium rock kinda feel going on!”
- The Aston Shuffle – triple j (AUS)
"A bolt of euphoria penetrates through that clattering chorus rush. Big vibes.”
- Dave Ruby Howe – triple j Unearthed (AUS)
The boys had a busy year in 2023, releasing the single ‘How Does It Feel?’ with Jupiter Project, a remix of eleven7four’s song ‘The One You Call,’ the single ‘Way U Feel,’ a two drop release of ‘Replicate’ and ‘Game 2 U’ as well as releasing the four song EP ‘Alive’ with vocalist Elaskia. To celebrate the release of this EP release, Elaskia joined Chores on their New Year’s festival run around New Zealand, performing at Rhythm & Vines and bringing in the New Year for New Plymouth’s Festival Of Lights.
2024 for the elctronic duo is shaping up to be as busy as previous years, with Chores already about to drop their next single ‘Too Far Gone’ with vocalist Indyah. But that’s not all – the duo have plenty more songs in the works before the year is out – a collab single with Australians Yuto, a two track EP with Ella Minehan and a track with Aimee Steedman.
