The Flying Mojito Bros are two Desert Disco and Outlaw House DJs pioneering the great electronic wilderness.
With their boots firmly planted in dusty 70s sunsets, their pan-USA productions take cosmic country funk and rock to modern dancefloors via NYC disco and baggy acid house – on a bed of hefty contemporary rhythms.
Think the first summer of love meeting the second – Crosby, Stills and Nash at the Haçienda, The Doors at Shoom, The Orb at Woodstock.
While the remix masses continue to pick over the bones of soul, funk and disco for sample material, these acid cowboys uniquely look to the vast libraries of artists such as Santana, ZZ Top, Bonnie Raitt (and deeper still) for inspiration.
Consisting primarily of their own productions – with a slab of unreleased edits kept back for their own exclusive use at any one time – FMB have found their DJ sets to be a hit among party people all over. Their music has turned party people loose in clubs, parties and late-night festival tents at Glastonbury, Bestival, Pikes Ibiza and beyond.
In addition to residencies at The Social, Spiritland and Nobu, they’ve been invited to work their hoodoo on remixes for the likes of Flamingods, Raf Rundell (The 2 Bears), Black Peaches, Jouis, 77:78, Scott Hirsch, James Matthew VII, Katy J Pearson, Jeffrey Silverstein, Rudy Norman, James Alexander Bright, Little Boots, Gloria Ann Taylor and more – releasing on prestigious independent labels such as Heavenly, Paper Recordings, !K7 and Ubiquity.
The Flying Mojito Bros have seen over a million streams worldwide and a mushrooming US fanbase.
