Spacifix is a New Zealand funk/soul/blues/R&B and reggae boy group from West Auckland, New Zealand.

Until April 2005 the band played a number of festivals and concerts and increased their fan base in West Auckland.

In March 2006 Spacifix signed a management agreement with Ocean Entertainment Ltd, a management team dedicated to taking New Zealand music on to the world stage. World Fresh (Director Ondrej Havas) commissioned Spacifix to write and record the 2006 40-hour Famine soundtrack – Spread da Word.
