Dubstep duo consisting of Christian Srigley & Leighton James.
The duo formed while ...
high school in Montreal as a hardcore pop-punk band, but later decided to move onto the more electronic sound of dubstep after simply getting bored with the pop-punk sound.
The first song to put the duo on the map was their remix of the song “Daisy” from the studio album Daisy (2009) by the American alternative-rock band Brand New, which was put on The Hype Machine, an MP3 blog aggregator website.
Some of the major influences to their sound include Tiesto, Flux Pavilion, Greeley Estates, Bring Me the Horizon and Skrillex. The duo’s signature sound includes high-pitched female vocals with electronic sounds and heavy drops. Through online social network sites, the duo were able to reach new levels of exposure and got their first music video on the UKF Dubstep’s YouTube channel. As of November 2012, the remix of “Everything to Me” by Lips had over 1.5 million views.
