And if you thought Jacob Banks was unknown, try finding something about UK DJ duo Snakehips! These guys are the ish, but the mystique surrounding these two is almost taking on Daft Punk like proportions. All I know is that Oliver Lee and James Carter are two London based 20-somethings (hence the rather anonymous photos supporting this article), whose remixes for BANKS and The Weeknd have racked up millions of plays on both Soundcloud and Youtube. After Radio 1 played their debut single in May, their first official London show sold out in record time. There's no doubt about it that Snakehips specialize in amazing 90's R&B heartbreak, judging by most of their songtitles. From Aaliyah over Cassie to even SWV, these artists have clearly influenced their music. The duo's new single "Days With You" featuring Sinead Harnett (known through a collab with Rudimental), is a bit more commercial but the dirty old vinyl samples give it that throwback touch I love so much! Listen to some Snakehips sounds below. |
