The Thugs met in Brighton in 2002 after drunkenly agreeing that music at clubs should never be progressive, dull or pretentious. A few pints later and the pair realised their shared interest in broken beats, rapping and heavy basslines and they began combining their musical tastes and talents. Playing hip hop, funk and beats the duo gained a reputation as party DJs across Brighton and they held their own residency at legendary Brighton subterranean bar ‘Ali Cats’ where they held weekly parties, hosting names such as JFB (UK DMC champion), Cut La Roc, Ashley Slater (Freakpower), Bushy, Kidda, Flevans and a host of local VJs.
Production was the next logical step and the thugs set out on what was to become a lifelong passion. Churning out their own tracks and remixes to play out, the pair experimented with all genres but felt most at ease with breakbeat – the combination of its broken beats and heavy basslines was ideal. They were taken under the wing of breaks maestros NineLives The Cat and Vlad Sokolov and learnt the tricks of the production trade. It wasn’t until later meeting fidget supremo The Bulgarian that their love of house music began and things really started to take off.
2 Bit Thugs smashed onto the emergent fidget/electro house scene in 2008 with their genre-crushing blend of shit-kicking beats, apocalyptic elastic bass lines and trademark hip hop influences. Never taking life too seriously their distinctive ‘gangster house’ sound received critical acclaim, support and hype from numerous international blogs, DJs and press; making them amongst the hottest producers & remixers in the scene right now.
