Years of sweating in garage bands evidently prepared the Lipsky brothers to break
boundaries in commercial club culture with a sound that somehow evokes the essence
of psych-rock while never sounding out of place alongside certified technoid bangers.
Their musical breadth as producers speaks to their talent as DJs, with a deep passion
for record digging that again conveys very specific sensibilities – a love for the exotic,
the yearning for transcendence, as well as the rough rebellious energy of punk. They
produce dance music from the margins, full of with narrative, melody, and drama. It’s
intense, in a good way.*
Their affiliations to broad-spectrum labels like Multi Culti, Disco Halal and Correspon-
dant might paint some picture of their range, and their stellar remixes for artists like Ni-
cola Cruz, Adam Port, Autarkic and Polo & Pan may have earned them lots of plays, but
their debut LP ‘Sorry, We Did Something Wrong’ is undoubtedly their most ambitious
and elaborate statement to date. Drenched in their influences, rich in collabs with a ran-
ge of artists like Sepultura’s Igor Cavalera and C.A.R., the record is at once ambitious
and, as the title suggests, apologetic. Their capacity for embracing these polarities, a
radical boldness tempered by self-consciousness, it may divide the audience, but it
shows unmistakable personality.
Their latest work is an epic, mournful EP called “Problem,” released on Multi Culti and
featuring a huge remix by long-time compatriots Red Axes. More exciting things to
come soon including an album of remixes for ‘Sorry, We Did Something Wrong’ with
tracks from Ivan Smagghe, Inigo Vontier, Odopt and more.
*If you had to prompt an AI to get the picture you’d cite ‘dancefloor banger inspired by
The Beatles, remixed by Weatherall with a bit of extra Ravi Shankar in the mix, recor-
ded after hanging out with punk kids on their first E at a rave in 1993 headlined by Ap-
hex Twin, CJ Bolland and the Prodigy’.
