Electric Soulside

Debuting on London-based label Ruff Dog Recordings in 2006, brothers Patrick and Steve Hoody have since brought their brand of glitch and dirty house to labels across Europe, Canada and into the United States.

Driven by underground dance culture of early 90's, Steve hooked into music with his first set of turntables in 1994; Patrick bought a rhythym box and an analogue synthesizer and explored. By mid-decade, the two had formed a creative partnership that pitted both brothers behind the synthesizer. Their first project, Mantra and Galax-Sea, was a live, synth-driven show that showcased their abilities to musically improvise alongside renowned Belgium musicians. Electronic and heady in nature, the sonci structure of their sets still put house at the forefront, taking influences from artists such as DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter and Paul Johnson.

By 2001, the duo's signed on to London's Blue Black Records, which were home to breaks artists including Meat Katie, Elite Force and Dylan Rhymes. Patrick and Steve absorbed the outside influences into thier own sound, recording under the names Hoody and Hoody and Ultravision before settling into Electric Soulside in early 2006.
