Chaos in the CBD, patron saints of adult contemporary house music, are coming to Shoreditch

You’d be forgiven for hearing the names “Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales”, and mistaking them for the handsome brothers of a well-to-do London family who DJ together at parties across town. In nearly every respect, that’s exactly what they are — except they hail from New Zealand and they also perform at Glastonbury.

The HH brothers, alias Chaos in the CBD, are among the most successful electronic music producers of our time. They’ve played at Love International and Primavera Sound and clocked up hundreds of millions of streams across the platforms. It’s hard to express how much of a cult status they hold both in London and beyond. Suffice it to say, they invariably sell out every show in which they appear and have become a byword (or three) for a particular brand of dance music aficionado: the thinking man’s disc jockeys.
