Garrett David and Adam Rowe first met 4 years ago working together in the run-down offices of Dust Traxx. Since then they have graduated to roommates and co-workers at Chicago’s Gramaphone Records. With their debut release, the Boys deliver a unique and endearing house sound with a bit of quirk and machine-made flavor. An EP for the selectors, each track demands it’s own place within the night. B Free features their dear friend and vocalist, Shaun J Wright (ex. Hercules & Love Affair).

Compton is the second release from Discovery Recordings. The EP comes from Chicago’s Olin and Co. Processing. ”Compton” kicks it off with hypnotic vocals made ready for the dance floor by an infectious rolling bass-line and filtered keys. ”Oslo” is built on dueling arps and spacey percussion that together cultivate a swirling deepness. On remix duty are Glasgow’s OOFT! and Berlin’s Nils Penner
