Biography

The duo of Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn successfully pulled off one of the greatest stylistic changes in modern music; originally a folk-pop group with jazz influences, their fortunes changed when Todd Terry successfully remixed ‘Missing’ (from Amplified Heart). Since then, EBTG have become more widely known as an electronic act, with Walking Wounded being a well-received example of their latter-day sound.

EBTG as a duo is currently on hiatus, as Watt and Thorn raise their children out of the public eye. Watt is a very successful club DJ and remixer, also releasing several mix compilations named after his London-based deep house night Lazy Dog. He currently runs the label Buzzin’ Fly.

The 2006 collaboration of Tracey Thorn and Tiefschwarz on the underground hit song Damage seems to have woken up the artistic spirit in Thorn once again, who released her second solo album, Out of the Woods in early 2007.
