Nesian Mystik is the award winning explosive success story in New Zealand music. Along with holding down the record for the most top ten hits, they are the number one selling poly-urban infused hip-hop and r'n'b/soul sensation that unite a remarkable diversity of Polynesia. Up front on the raps are Sabre, Oldwun and Junz. Awa sings the soulful hooks and melodies while Demon Finguz jams on his guitar and sings bv's. DJ Notiq supplies the sound bed of beats from his decks and serato scratch live. Their lyrical themes are conscious and proud. They sing about what's close to them, drawing on their cultures, families and friends for inspiration, as well as the timeless topic of going out and having fun and their humorous take on Hip-Hop culture. It was the release of Nesian Mystik's album "Polysaturated" that saw fans excitement explode at New Zealand record stores. "Polysaturated" burst into the album chart at Number One and was certified Gold by the end of its first week of sales and out sold every superstar out there in the overhyped xmas market. Seven months on the album was still in the national top 10 and was certified four times Platinum. Critics united with fans in hailing the album as a landmark debut release.
