Thomston and SACHI Ride

Thomston and SACHI Ride

New Zealand based songwriter and producer Thomston has teamed up with fellow Auckland producer duo SACHI, to deliver their new single -RIDE' out today through Sony Music Entertainment Australia. The infectious sound clearly demonstrates why these artists are touted as some of New Zealand's most exciting up-and-coming artists. The dynamic collaboration highlights Thomston's incredible way with melody and SACHI's penchant for lush sound-scapes and punch.

'The SACHI boys and I have become good friends but we have really different energies which makes for interesting collaboration. I wrote -Ride' about 6 months ago and took it to them. Thought they'd be perfect to take it in a bigger, darker direction and they killed it." – Thomston

'We're stoked that Thomston trusted our vision on the direction of the song and think that this collaboration is really special. We are really proud of -Ride' and can't wait for everyone to hear it." – SACHI

Thomston gave fans a preview of the single on his Facebook yesterday. Thomston is no stranger to a killer collaboration. The 20-year-old teamed up with Brisbane-based songwriter and vocalist Wafia in 2016 for their single -Window Seat,' which has received over 7 million streams on Spotify.

Compared with the likes of Frank Ocean and SOHN, Thomston took the music blog scene by storm when he leaked an experimental EP in 2014. Since then 21 year old Thomas Stoneman, better known for his stage name Thomston has garnered over 50 million Spotify streams and international media attention. He released his debut album TOPOGRAPH in 2016. Written in five cities on three continents over almost two years the album debuted to much praise, setting him up as a Spotify Spotlight Artist and MTV Brand New Artist, as well as being nominated for the prestigious NZ Silver Scroll Award. Thomston has been busy touring the UK, Europe and Australia, as well as sold out shows in New Zealand.

Nick Chrisp and Will Thomas met at primary school in Auckland, New Zealand and played in indie rock bands together throughout their schooling years. Since then SACHI have been nominated for break through artist at then Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards and MTV Brand New Artist after they released their debut EP 'LUNCH WITH BIANCA' in July 2016 featuring singles 'No More' and 'Hold On', and have been playing festivals and sold out shows around New Zealand and Australia since. In April 2017, SACHI released their single 'Shelter' featuring NÏKA. The upbeat anthem, premiered on Triple J, and was the second highest played New Zealand song across commercial and alternative New Zealand radio.
