Snakehips formed in 2010 playing a number of London shows and introducing their music by uploading tracks to MySpace. By 2011 with a host more shows, tracks, beats and exposure, the project began earning a series of features from the likes of i-D Magazine, culminating in his debut EP release “Hoffman West” in November 2011. Borrowing from East Coast hip-hop with the modern glitch-pop movement, the record is both pioneering and an ode to yester year. Snakehips subsequently continued to released waves of beats and samples, before embarking on a world tour including dates in Paris, Warsaw, Vienna, and Antwerp.
Following which, Snakehips produced a well-received remix of the Weeknd’s “Wanderlust”, paving the way for future remixes including Banks’ “Warm Water” and “Wild Belle’s “It’s Too Late”. By this point the project had augmented international recognition aided by the popular single “Days With You” featuring Sinead Harnett. The single subsequently earned a remix EP entitled “Days With You Remixes” featuring remixes by Sweater Beats, Porno, and Fwdslxsh. In collaboration with Tory Lanez, Snakehips issued the track “Dímelo”, followed by the single “Forever (Pt. II) featuring dance-music darling Kaleem Taylor. Taken from the EP of the same name, the record cemented Snakehips position as a respected electronic act, and has led to opening slots for Chance the Rapper and extensive North American touring.
Snakehips are making chilled electronic music perfect for beach and pool parties and club nights alike. Tracks like 'On My Own' and 'Miss U Always' are sun-kissed to perfection, with breezy vocals soaring over the chilled beats. And then there's the curveball TNGHT-esque track, 'Make It', a fast paced, pitch-shifted, hip-hop influenced all round more intense release. They have also remixed Banks' 'Warm Water', The Weeknd's 'Wanderlust' and Wild Belle's 'It's Too Late' - a great trio of reworks which are up on their SoundCloud page with thousands of plays. These remixes are often dropped into their sets. Their love of hip-hop and electronic music came to life in their set at Nottingham's Everywhere festival earlier this year, where every beat of the previously mentioned tracks made people like myself leave the set with huge smiles over our faces. If you are a fan of Bondax, TNGHT and/or Disclosure, then you are sure to like Snakehips. They have a new single out next month in 'Days Are Gone', featuring sultry vocals from Disclosure collaborator Sinead Harnett and play Reading and Leeds festival this weekend. So be sure to check them out before they jet off later in the year for a North American tour!
