Chaos In The CBD

About

Chaos In The CBD isn't just a name; it's a sonic roadmap to the Auckland-born, London-based brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales' immersive world of deep house. They weave a tapestry of hypnotic grooves that feel as comfortable on a sun-drenched Ibiza terrace as they do in a dimly lit Berlin basement. Drawing inspiration from the soulful underpinnings of Chicago house, the intricate rhythms of Detroit techno, and the jazzy nuances of early UK garage, their sound is undeniably their own: a fluid, atmospheric blend built for late nights and introspective moments. From their early releases on labels like Needwant and Amadeus, to their breakthrough with the critically acclaimed "Midnight In Peckham" EP, Chaos In The CBD have steadily risen through the ranks of electronic music's elite. Their Boiler Room sets are legendary, showcasing their exceptional mixing skills and uncanny ability to read a crowd. Recent projects include remixes for artists like Disclosure and collaborations with producers like Bradley Zero, further cementing their status as innovators in the contemporary house scene. Beyond the dancefloor, their music possesses a cinematic quality, exploring themes of nostalgia, connection, and the emotional resonance of sound itself, making them more than just DJs; they are storytellers.
