The Drummonkeys are production duo Billy Borez and Carl Loben, and they’ve been busy making waves in the breakbeat scene and beyond in the last year or two. Archangel Breaks/Control Breaks

They’ve had a couple of releases out on Westway Records, beginning with the guitar-fuelled ‘Electro Ladyland’. “It sounds like Jimi Hendrix was resurrected by some kind of electro-voodoo and ended up in the studio with the Clash, The Specials popped in for a cup of tea and Miss Kittin left a message on the answerphone halfway through.” - SOTO, M8 magazine

The DM’s then got on a remix tip, reworking tracks by Ils, Dreadzone, Madox and Dom Almond to considerable acclaim. Mike Hogan from Breakspoll dubbed their Madox remix “the best track the Plump DJs never wrote”, and their tracks began being played by diverse DJs – from Rennie Pilgrem to Jay Cunning, Jimmy Mofo to Annie Nightingale.

When the guys released the Brazil-inspired ‘Batty Batucada’ at the end of 2006, it really shot their name to prominence. The guys had Norman Cook, aka Mr Fatboy Slim, phoning them up to blag a vinyl copy, and DJs like Stanton Warriors, Steelzawheelz, NAPT and Tom Middleton began playing it out.

The DMs play out either individually or as a duo, and have rocked it at places like C64, Ministry Of Sound, Piekarnia in Warsaw and Babyface Shanghai of late. “We love their twisted versatility.” – Yasmin, C64
