THE JOURNEY HAS LASTED WELL OVER A DECADE OF DANCE.
THE DUO STARTED THROWING DVNC PARTIES IN CAMBRIDGE UK IN ’97. ALSO PLAYING AT PARTIES SUCH AS GOOD TIMES, MORE TEA VICAR, SURGE AND GUSTO INDEPENDENTLY. ALONG WITH ALL THE FREE PARTIES, WAREHOUSE GIGS AND 24HR MIX SESSIONS THIS GAVE AN EARLY SCHOOLING IN SONIC COMMUNICATION. MILES LATER WON A COMPETITION PUT ON BY A WELL KNOW DANCE MAGAZINE LEADING TO GIGS IN IBIZA AND A UK RESIDENCY, THEN AFTER A TIME LANDED A JOB WORKING IN RHYTHM SYNDICATE RECORDS IN THE CITY, SERVING UP VINYL TO TOP DJS WORLDWIDE. TOBY MOVED TO BRIGHTON AND, FOLLOWING MANY SUCCESSFUL CLUB NIGHTS INCLUDING KABOMBA, (IDENTIFYING AND SUPPORTING TALENT SUCH AS SERGE SANTIAGO, EVIL NINE AND OTHERS LONG BEFORE THEY ACHIEVED INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM), STARTED DJING FOR, AND SUBSEQUENTLY IN THE END, RUNNING THE BIG BEAT BOUTIQUE BASED IN BRIGHTON.

THE PAIR PLAYED MANY PARTIES AND EVENTS OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS IN THE UK WHILST GENTLY PRESSING ABROAD, TOUCHING DOWN IN IBIZA, FRANCE, SCOTLAND AND CHINA HONING A VIBE AND GAINING RECOGNITION TO THEIR UNIQUE SOUND AND DISTINCTIVE APPROACH TO A CLUB SET. IT WAS PLAYING FOR THE BOUTIQUE THAT THE PAIR STARTED TO PUT THEMSELVES ON THE MAP, WHILE PLAYING REGULARLY AT TURNMILLS-LONDON AND THE CONCORDE2-BRIGHTON, AS WELL AS BED-SHEFFIELD AND THE ARCHES-GLASGOW, ALONGSIDE ARTISTS SUCH AS JOEY BELTRAM, DAVE ANGEL, TOM MIDDLETON, LOCO DICE, LAYO & BUSHWACKA, X-PRESS 2 AMONGST MANY OTHERS.

WITH AN ALL EMBRACING SOUND THAT VEERS TO THE DEEPER SIDE OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC, THE PAIR HAVE SMASHED IT UP ALONG THE WAY. PLAYING THROUGH VARIOUS DEEP HOUSE TEXTURES, ROLLING TECH TERRITORY AND THE DEEPER END OF THE TECHNO SPECTRUM, ALWAYS REMEMBERING THE ELEMENT OF FUNK THAT BUBBLES THE SOUL WHILE ELECTRIFYING DANCEFLOORS WITH A TIGHT, STEADY, UNEXPECTED MIX. THE BOYS HAVE WON MANY ADMIRERS ALONG THE WAY.

IN 2004 LIVING CITY’S DEBUT TRACK WAS PICKED UP AND LICENSED TO EDDIE RICHARDS’ FABRIC 16 DJ MIX, AFTER THE COVERT RECORDS CREW IN BRIGHTON PASSED ON(‘STEPPIN’ OUT’) WHICH WAS A WORK IN PROGRESS. THIS STEELED THEIR RESOLVE TO FINALLY BEGIN AN IMPRINT AND DEDICATE THEMSELVES TO THE CAUSE. WITH WORK LICENSED OFF TO TV AND MUSIC LIBRARIES, THEY FOLLOWED UP WITH A 4 TRACKER WHICH WENT OUT EARLIER THIS YEAR ON TONY THOMAS’ AMBIOSPHERE RECORDINGS AND HAVE A RELEASE SHEDULE SET FOR THEIR OWN IMPRINT LIVING CITY MUSIC. WITH GREAT NEW MATERIAL TO COME, ENCOMPASSING MANY SHADES OF RHYTHM, FROM POP OUT & PLAY, TO AFFIE YUSUF (HOUSE OF 909), WHILE FOCUSSING ON THEIR OWN UNRELEASED PRODUCTIONS THAT ARE READY TO DROP THIS YEAR..

IN NOVEMBER 07, LIVING CITY WERE ASKED TO REMIX THE FORTHCOMING SINGLE
'THE DREAM' FOR THE AMBIENT LEGENDS 'THE ORB'. THIS WAS RELEASED IN FEBRUARY ON LIQUID SOUND AND RECIEVED RADIO AND CLUB SUPPORT WORLDWIDE.

THEY HAVE REACTIVATED THEIR OWN LITTLE SHINDIGS ONCE AGAIN TO BE HELD AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN LONDON AND SOME EXCITING EVENTS LATER THIS YEAR AT SOME AMAZING LOCATIONS.

THE BOYS WERE TAKEN ONTO AN ARTIST MANAGEMENT AGENCY LAST YEAR CALLED 'WILDLIFE', THE BRAINCHILD OF THE LEGENDARY UK TECHNO PIONEER COLIN DALE. FOR INFORMATION ON LIVING CITY AND OTHER WILDLIFE DJ / ARTISTS INCLUDING:
