Biography
The Allergies Live
The Allergies have been on a mission to reshape funky vintage sounds for the modern dance floor since they first met at Chai Wallahs way back in 2012.
Both skilled turntablists in their own right and known for their 45 only vinyl sets, the duo of DJ Moneyshot & Rackabeat bonded over their love of classic Hip Hop and beats and decided to pool their knowledge and skills into making their own music and bring re-fuelled Funk and feel good Hip Hop to the masses..
Their use of unique breaks, funky bass lines, horns, and dance floor grooves inspired by the golden eras of Funk, Soul, Disco and Hip Hop filled the dance floors and led to them signing with Jalapeno Records in 2015.
Their single and album releases have charged up the UK’s official indie charts, topped the download charts and racked up a serious number of plays across the airwaves winning them a whole bunch of accolades including multiple ‘Tune of the month’ awards from Mixmag, ‘Album of the Day’, ‘Album of the Week’ and the coveted ‘Album of the year’ on both 6 Music and Juno Records with their debut album becoming the bestselling Hip Hop album on itunes and the Juno charts.
Now, performing as the ‘The Allergies Live’ the dynamic duo take their party starting performances to the next level by featuring ‘Ugly Ducklings’ powerhouse frontman ‘Andy Cooper’, the Soul-sensation and deadly diva ‘Marietta Smith’ on vocals and the master of the badass brass ‘Dub FX’s ‘sax star ‘Mr. Woodnote’
