Soul Mekanik brothers Danny Spencer and Kelvin Andrews are house music legends.

Subscribing to the theory that in the beginning house music belonged to those who were a little bit twisted, their musical careers, both individually and collectively, have been characterised by a series of delightfully deviant acts.

Danny produced his debut single during the birth of acid house in 1988 with his classic ‘Ride the Rhythm’ under the name of This Ain’t Chicago. By 1990, not even out of his teens and giddily fuelled by the playful spirit of the times, he was on Top of The Pops and the cover of Smash Hits in his cult incarnation of Candy Flip with a cover of the Beatles’ ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’.

Kelvin meanwhile, had become a DJ and one of the original Golden residents. Since the age of ten, he has amassed a unique collection of the most experimental funk from the last fifty years, and yet, he is always still searching out his next vinyl hit. Kelvin is a true believer that music can touch your soul as well as moving you on the dancefloor.

In the early 90s, under the pseudonym of the illustrious Sure is Pure, they created some of the anthems from the now golden age of house. Their unfailing touch meant that they were called to remix for artists such as Aretha Franklin, Sister Sledge, The Doobie Brothers, South Street Player, Sly and The Family Stone and Marvin Gaye.
