Oliver Lee and James Carter are the storied UK production and DJ duo, Snakehips. With over 2 billion catalogue streams over their career, Snakehips continue to evolve and connect with listeners around the world. Their philosophy is to never take things too seriously, yet always trust their own instinct. This dichotomy of emotional connection and a laid-back approach to life is harmoniously joined in their iconic and maverick sound. Snakehips find their groove within a fuzzy mesh of boundary-pushing R&B, hip hop, and dance music.

The duo is in the midst of writing their first full-length studio album as Snakehips, alternating between London and Los Angeles to write with a number of hitmaking collaborators. Working on an album “felt right” at this moment, citing the enjoyable, cohesive nature of music-making as a motivating factor to finally venture into the process. Their ease in writing together comes after over a decade of friendship—the pair initially linked up in a Hong Kong sake bar in 2010, setting off the beginning of a long and admirable career as musicians together.
