Dan Stephens grew up in Notting Hill and Joe Ray in Northwood. They met at 17, while Stephens studied cello at the specialist music school in Pimlico, and built a studio in his bedroom.
Singer Alana Watson first featured on their records in 2008 and is now the third member. Their Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 in November 2010 later won a public vote as the greatest in the series.
Welcome Reality, their debut album, came out in August 2011, the year they also performed The Dubstep Symphony with the BBC Philharmonic. In 2013 their remix of “Promises” with Skrillex won a Grammy Award.
The anniversary takes in two shows only, in Bristol and London. This is the hometown night for a trio raised in the city.
