Since breaking onto the scene in 2013, Eli & Fur have been perfecting a sound built around infectious melodies and seductive vocal lines which have mesmerized dance floors & radio waves from London to Los Angeles. Their captivating sets have seen the duo play alongside the likes of Maceo Plex, Hot Since 82, KĂślsch and Seth Troxler. Appearing on line ups from Ants, Vagabundos, Bugged Out and Digital with their Festival highlights including Creamfields, Leeds Festival, Bestival and the ultimate of all festivals, Glastonbury.
The duoâs debut track, âYouâre So Highâ reached the top 3 on Hype Machine and has since picked up over 3 million plays. âSeeing is Believingâ saw the girls collaborate with Shadow Child and release on Defected, âFeel The Fireâ came on Anjunadeep and âYour Eyesâ saw the girls self-release on NYX Muisc and team up with Beatport in the first ever Artist Partnership on Beatportâs newly launched streaming platform. More recently Eli & Fur released the incredibly received âCalifornia Loveâ EP which propelled them in the US and helped them gain their first ever performance on Coachella 2016.
2015 saw the rise and rise of Eli & Fur. Tipped by Beatport as 2015 Artists to Watch, theyâe since been nominated for âBest Newcomerâ in The DJ Awards, âBest Producerâ in the Bass Music Awards, âBest Breakthrough DJâ at DJ Magazineâs âBest of Britishâ and more recently âBest Breakthrough Artistâ in the 2016 IDMA Awards. Their productions have been heavily supported by the champion of dance music, Pete Tong, and the girls are set to unleash their next wave of releases and a series of collaborations which have seen them pair up with Dantiez Saunderson, Tâches, Erick Morillo, SantĂŠ and more.
Eli & Fur rolled out 2015 with a Thelma & Louise inspired tour through North America. Documenting every step of their 13 city tour on Go-Pro, taking planes, train, automobiles and boats, dropping into radio stations, studio sessions, TV networks and clubs. It was an unusual way to approach the US market but a life time dream inspired by quite possibly the two coolest chics ever to grace the big screen. The end result is the self-made video for California Love.
So with an impressive 2015 in the bag it looks like 2016 will be a year of continued success.
