Born and raised in the picturesque suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand, brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales form this talented duo, Chaos In The CBD, whose music carries an unmistakable touch of their idyllic upbringing. Their journey from the beaches of New Zealand to the bustling dance community of Peckham, London, has seen them rise as one of the hottest acts in the house music scene. Guided by their music-loving parents, who introduced them to bands like The Cure and Joy Division, Ben and Louis initially explored their passion through various genres, playing in jazz and indie bands during their teenage years. However, it was their discovery of electronic music in the mid-2000s that sparked their fascination with house and techno. Influenced by the pulsating rhythms and infectious energy of the Chicago house sound, Louis' conversion from rock to house music during a Melbourne rave became the catalyst for Chaos In The CBD. Returning from the rave with newfound inspiration, Louis guided his brother Ben's exploration of electronic production, ultimately leading them to craft their signature sound. The brothers' accidental move to Peckham led them to cross paths with Bradley Zero, a local influencer and key player in the emerging Peckham dance scene. Their meeting led to a fortuitous collaboration, with Bradley later releasing their breakthrough EP, Midnight In Peckham, through his label, Rhythm Section. The record was met with critical acclaim, characterized by intricate drum patterns and the enchanting trumpet sounds of Isaac Aesili. As Chaos In The CBD gained momentum, they embarked on a journey of studio work and intense DJ touring, earning a reputation for their remarkable live sets. Their productions evolved, embracing the jazz influences from their earlier years. Notable releases such as "816" to "Nunhead" and "No Signal Found" showcased their ability to seamlessly blend jazz, disco, and techno. Está atualmente em #6.171 no ranking global do BookedDJ.
