Northampton Town and County Art Society Annual Exhibition

DEFINING A NEW ERA OF LIQUID D&B, THEY FLOW BETWEEN EXQUISITE VOCAL MELODIES AND HIGH OCTANE PRODUCTIONS, CREATING THE INNOVATIVE AND UNIQUE SOUND THEY’VE BECOME KNOWN FOR. COMPRISED OF LONGTIME FRIENDS JOSH WHITE AND MATT LOWE, THE BOYS WORK ACROSS EVERYTHING TOGETHER FROM STUDIOS AT OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE COUNTRY, TAKING IN BOTH THEIR INFLUENCES FROM ALL ENDS OF THE MUSICAL SPECTRUM TO CREATE SMOOTH SOUNDING, YET ADDICTIVELY DANCEABLE TRACKS THAT ARE EVERY BIT AS RELEVANT FOR A MAIN STAGE FESTIVAL SLOT AS THEY ARE AT A LATE NIGHT AFTERPARTY.
