De La Soul is back—but did they ever really leave? After delivering their seminal debut 3 Feet High and Rising in 1989 with the production genius of Prince Paul, the New York City-bred trio of Posdnuos (Pos), Dave and Maseo went on to further impact Hip Hop culture with five more groundbreaking albums: De La Soul Is Dead (1991), Buhloone Mindstate (1993), Stakes Is High (1996), Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump (2000) and AOI: Bionix (2001). But once the digital age exploded in the late ‘90s, De La Soul’s celebrated catalog was unavailable to stream. As the decades passed, the tight-knit group forged ahead anyway—touring the world, connecting with their adoring fanbase and making music on their own terms. Following 2004’s The Grind Date, De La Soul took a hiatus from making albums, but joined The Gorillaz on the track “Feel Good Inc” which won them a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Collaboration.  In 2015, the group raised over $600,000 on Kickstarter from fans to independently release their album and the Anonymous Nobody, which was their first #1 on the Rap Albums chart, and was also nominated for a Best Rap Album Grammy.   

However, the demand for unreleased De La Soul music was palpable and the cry for access to the first six albums grew louder. Unfortunately, De La Soul was stuck riding a roller coaster of stalled negotiations, dashed hopes and dead-end conversations with their old label, and the group nearly gave up. 

"We have lived without the music up for long, these six albums haven’t been up—ever,” Pos says. “We got used to knowing they weren’t up.” In June of 2021, Tommy Boy Music was acquired by Reservoir, giving De La Soul’s catalog a new home.  In March of 2023, the six missing albums were finally available to stream.  But sadly, right before the catalog release, Dave, the beloved member of De La Soul, passed away. Though bittersweet, De La Soul preserves his legacy and the ongoing impact of their music. 

As iconic songs such as “The Magic Number”, found new life in the film Spiderman: No Way Home in 2021, De La Soul continues to resonate with a diverse population of people. 

As Pos notes, “We’ve noticed over the past several years of tour like, ‘Wow, there’s a father here with his child who also is here with their child. ‘We’re generational. To me, there’s nothing more gratifying than that. That means something. That’s telling about a group. What we were doing wasn’t just stuck to that time.”

“We really naturally been that group for everyone,” Pos says. “It was never about we’re just here for this community, that community, this set of people or these certain fans of Hip Hop culture. We see music as music. We’ve been very resilient, even being a group that didn’t have our music up [on streaming platforms]. We still had these beautiful opportunities through young people finding out about us through a commercial or Spider-Man. Now that it can all be there for people to gravitate to, I’m really happy about that.” 

De La Soul's impact on the musical landscape is immeasurable, with 3 Feet High and Rising widely regarded as one of the most influential albums of its era. Pioneering inventive sampling, playful lyrics, and eclectic beats, the album broke new ground and set a standard for creativity in the genre. Recognizing its cultural significance, the album was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress.

Cup & String was an idea between two mates in 2015 who share 2 decades of friendship. What started as banter has turned into a duo producing a variety of House Music and UK garage. Coming from two very different musical backgrounds, Lukasz specialises in nu disco , and Ross is part of an international renowned drum and bass outfit. With their varied knowledge and expertise, the two have created their own sound and have charted multiple times in top 10s on Traxsource, Bp and Juno.

Since 2015 they've received support for their productions from some of the big guns of house music from the likes of Todd Terry, Grant Nelson, Miguel Migs, Little Louie Vega, Golf Clap, Kevin Yost, Saison, Richard Earnshaw + many others. The recognition doesn't stop there, in the UK Garage scene their tracks have been shown love by DJ EZ, DJ Luck & Mc Neat, The Artful Dodger, Mike Ruffcut Lloyd, Jeremy Sylvester, Mc Kie, + more, and often been regarded as Australia's best UK Garage producers. Other accolades include releasing an EP on Kevin Saunderson's Legendary KMS Records, Remixing Deekline's "Be Happy" which was picked up by Universal Music Worldwide, an EP on Chicago's "Large Music", worked with Central Station Music Australia on multiple projects plus a bunch of releases on many other labels.

Based in Perth, the most isolated city in the world, the two have been seen bouncing behind the decks entertaining punters with energetic sets in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and completed a successful tour with UK Garage Royalty The Artful Dodger & DJ Luck & Mc Neat. They have also made their way overseas playing at the Iconic Circus Tokyo multiple times and Barcode Taipei.

In 2019 the duo decided to have a break to focus on their other projects which saw Ross touring around Europe and Lukasz touring around Australia and New Zealend. Due to Covid Ross moved back to Australia mid 2020 and the duo decided it was time to get back to it and revive the project.

2021 was a great year for the Duo remixing Dr Packer's number 1 Hit "Get Some Soul" which peaked at #1 in the Deep House Top 10 on Traxsource and #3 overall and finished the year strong with 1 number #1 and 6 Top 10s landing them #47 Deep House artists for 2021. 

2022 has seen the duo continue on with their love for Deep House by launching their new Label "Sectional Recordings" which has already started to gain some traction. The duo also released an EP on Deepalma records and remixed one of their favourite artists tracks - Saison's - Dilbert's Ditty. 

With a string of exciting releases to come the duo will continue to push the boundaries of electronic music with their feet still firmly planted in the underground.
