Soho808

After first hearing Jamie Jones play 'Get Up Disco,' at The Faversham (Leeds), Soho808 have been quite easily one of my favourite artist of 2011. As the story goes, New York's exciting duo comprising of Nathaniel Jay and Dave Robertson, first met at an after party in NYC. From party acquaintances to close friends, the two sparked over their healthy obsession for dance music on the deeper end, talking tunes and spinning records for hours on end.

Before Soho808, both Jay and Robertson had built established portfolio's within the music industry. After moving to New York, from his hometwon Boston in 1999, Nathaniel Jay's Dj career kicked off, playing at various deep house nights. Most notably alongside Rob Mello at Dig Your Own Rave. Whilst on the other spectrum of the music industry the highly talented Dave Robertson was becoming an award-winning sound designer and composer, working with brands such as Nintendo and Sony. 

Now to the music.
