The Slips generating buzz in the UK electro scene

The Slips

They’ve been in existence for barely a year and yet The Slips – aka David Treahearn and Rob Haggett – are already generating a real buzz in the UK electro scene. They have a runaway success in their remix of CSS “Music Is My Hot Hot Sex” (thrown out by everyone from Rob da Bank at Radio One to Vicarious Bliss at Ed Banger), an admirer in French production genius Mirwais, and a cache of glowing press cuttings – all uncourted – from the handful of live shows they’ve played.

Cutting their musical teeth as young studio engineers/programmers, they learned the trade with legendary producer Mark ‘Spike’ Stent, working with everyone from Madonna to Massive Attack, Brian Wilson to Björk, before breaking out of the grueling studio regime of hundred-hour-weeks to take their homebrewed pulsating glitch-disco out on the road.

Their first show was last summer, the night the smoking ban hit the UK, and led to immediate bookings for further dates across the country, including The O2 Wireless Festival, In The City and The Great Escape Festival in Brighton.

2008 saw The Slips release a 7″ single “Girls At The Back Up” in the States as part of LA based IAMSOUND’s Singles Club, reaching #6 on The Hype Machine on the day of the release.

They became friends with Mirwais, working with him on Madonna’s album ‘American Life’ and recently teamed up with him on his latest musical project YAS, remixing her debut single “Yaspop”, due for release later this year on Universal.
