Joe and Will met in 2005, both coming from very different musical backgrounds. Joe was releasing drum and bass 12” records while Will came from the hard house and trance scenes. Their name describes their relentless passion to constantly explore genres of music, and represent their different influences within their own characteristic sound that they have become so well known for.
They started collaborating in 2007, and almost immediately drew attention from local DJs at respected nights such as Trash, as well as club promoters and indie labels. Their residencies at underground club nights soon moved into playing at some of the hottest nights in London; Matter, Trailer Trash, Durrr, Club NME, Boombox, Scala, Ministry of Sound, the Egg to name a few, as well as gigs across the UK, Berlin, Florence, Milan, Budapest, Bucharest, Lille, and Ghent..
Meanwhile their productions have been equally well received. Coming across with dirt and cutting edge production and an eye firmly on the dance floor, but also with effortless musicality not normally associated with techno, they win over fans from the band/ indie scene, as easily as diehard clubbers. They inject tonality and musical flow into everything they touch, all under the banner of techno or electro or whatever you would like to call it, and have been compared to SoulWax, Chemical Brothers, DIM and Popof.
The duo signed to Andrew Friendly’s Gulp Communications in 2008, and have released three EPs worth of material, appearing in the Cool Cuts Chart, and bringing a wide fanbase to themselves including Brodinski who said “My favourite producers of the moment”, Kris Menace, Vicarious Bliss, Casper C, Acid Jacks, AutoKratz, Dark Globe, Jody Wisternoff, Cazals, Matik, Virgin Tears to name a few. They went on to remix a wide array of artists, from the highly blogged Mystery Jets remix, to La Roux on Kitsune/Polydor, Revolver (EMI), The Bell, Jupiters Heroes, Acid Girls, Revolver, Franz & Shape, Division Kent (Sony), Circuit Freq, Milke and Atomizer. There are many other remixes in progress for the likes of Ministry of Sound, and EMI’s new priority band ‘Hockey.’
Joe and Will perform live, as well as DJing. As DJs they are adaptable who like to play to any crowd but their heart lies in techno and minimal on big systems. Live, their setup consists of the pair playing a set of their own material using laptops and midi controllers. The set is hard, and energetic with a balance of musicality to win over the indie crowds as easily as the techno crowds, hailing back to the start of warehouse rave with it’s raw energy and fist pumping breakdowns. Just witness the indie crowd at Club NME go absolutely mental to two lads behind laptops, and you quickly realise this is music that’s connecting on a primal level, with enough raw energy, guts and musicality to win over virtually any audience. And therein lies the answer to what Joe and Will asked.

Josey joe a star so they gone tell me that I’m next
Shawty at my neck
She want me to up the drac so I control her
They gone have to give me my respect
Diamonds dance
Rollie on my wrist it’s on my right hand

Diamonds on my neck don’t need the light man
Touch fam and that’s yo life and I put that on my life that it’s on site man
Off white like I’m Virgil huh
Lil shawty a ten don’t ask where she been
I might suspend her like I’m urkel huh
Not talking bout jeans but in my dreams I had seen purple huh
They was all on teams it was just me I had no circle huh
Josey joe might black out, i wake up I’m me again
Get the track and send the track out, i might send them me again
Shawty she tapped out when she was sipping on that tea again
She ain’t wanna count me on her wrist well we gone see again (facts)
Y’all needed us don’t change up on us now
She think I’m a lame tryna run game on us now (facts)
That might be her thing that’s why it’s staying on me now (facts)
Father God they preying on me now

Lil shawty had left and now she thinking I’m her right man
Josey been on stage don’t need no hype man
Josey Joe been shining he the Light Man

The following lines suggest that the singer is not particularly concerned with material possessions, as they mention being "off white like I'm Virgil" and suspending someone like "urkel" (referring to Steve Urkel from the TV show Family Matters). These references may symbolize the singer's fashion choices or personal style, but overall, they prioritize their dreams and individuality.
The final lines address those who may have underestimated or overlooked the singer's abilities, proclaiming that they are now necessary and should not abandon or betray the singer. The phrase "Father God they preying on me now" suggests that the singer is seeking guidance and protection from a higher power.
