Heard It Here First

Checks stage notes…

Enter Two Guys – a brand new collaborative project between, you guessed it, two guys. The joint branchild of Crawdad Sniper and Chez, ‘Big Brain Goofin’ ‘ marks a new chapter in dubstep history. Featuring four certified heaters, ‘Two Rings (To Funk Them All),’ ‘Barrel Roll,” ‘Cease & Resist,’ and ‘Po’ Bois’, this EP will transport you into a room full of smiles. Transcend those late goofy nights cheesing in your friends kitchen with this blessing of sound.

Currently based in the D.C. area, Crawdad Sniper is known for his brain-melting, bass-heavy sets. He’s become one of the most exciting rising stars in the “Tipper & Friends” sphere. Blend that with Chez, a Chicago production visionary whose infectious, goofy energy keeps you “cheesing” all night long, and it’s easy to see why this duo is one of the most anticipated new pairings in the scene.

Crawdad recently performed at the Mission Ballroom Wakaan Takeover led by Liquid Stranger and alongside tons of rising stars like Yoko, BuckTen, and Chozen. Chez was just announced as a part of the Badger Bass Camp lineup, and he’ll also be performing with Crawdad Sniper in Bend, Oregon come July for an unofficial Tipper At The Gorge pre-party.

Fans recently got the official debut of Two Guys live at Infrasound, where the pair delivered a magnetic debut performance that left the crowd begging for more. Keep an eye out, as Chez and Crawdad have plans to upload the live recording of the set to YouTube! Both acts are preparing for individual sets at Secret Dreams Festival this summer, as well as another Two Guys set.

Their ”Big Brain Goofin’‘ EP is a very special first collaborative project, kicking off with ‘Two Rings (To Funk Them All)’, a slippery, funk-laced opener setting the tone with a headnodding contagioius beat. It continues with ‘Barrel Roll’, a glitchy electronic thrillride built for the summer main stage. That perfectly transitions into ‘Cease & Resist’, a new era heater that will bring you along on an interdimensional journey through. Finally, the EP wraps with ‘Po’ Boys’, satisfying your craving for the perfect combo of both signature Chez and Crawdad Sniper styles.

We are certain that Two Guys will become the next huge duo on the scene and our team is so excited to watch their takeover get rolling. Listen to “Big Brain Goofin’ on Soundcloud & Spotify below and let us know your thoughts on the EP down in the comments!
