Biography
Since their first onstage jam in 2003 this multi-talented UK based duo have been wowing audiences worldwide with their amazing live show - a heady mashup up of MC skills, human beatboxing, electronic percussion and improvised Kaoss pad looping, served up with their trademark soulful chorus hooks, turntable trickery and fat, funky beats – all from just two maestros of music.
The group have played as European tour support for US hiphop legends De La Soul, Ugly Duckling, The Pharcyde, Breakestra, Guru & DJ Premier and Anti Pop Consortium.
Their (often warped) sense of humour and sheer ability to entertain large crowds have also earned them support slots for renowned comedy acts such as Bill Bailey, Ed Byrne, Omid Djalili, Marcus Briggestock and Dirty Sanchez.
