Crookers will be tearing up Spy this Friday on their Irish Debut. Drawing from influences of house, hip hop and beyond, Crookers blend their beats with the kind of fidget house finesse that gives Potty Mouth Music its soiled swagger. Since 2003, DJs Phra and Bot have been drawing upon their collective musical backgrounds to create tracks that twist, startle and surprise with synthetic pop. When the two artists met, both were trying to branch out of their genre success and explore dance music. The experiment worked. "It felt natural to team up, seeing that we had the same musical tastes... which isn't that easy here in Milan," he says. Crookers certainly have sleazed out dancefloors with a catalogue of original tracks, but it's their work as remixers that have made them one of the most sought after batteries in the business. Currently, the duo has reworked tracks for the likes of Armand van Helden, Bonde do Role, Brodinski, The Chemical Brothers, Magik Johnson, Moby, Chromeo, Busy P, Don Rimini or Bumblebeez. Tickets are €20. Doors open at 10pm
