Biography
When you bring together two individuals from two different ends of the universe, the likelihood of something extravagant emerging is high. As fate would have it, Linden of Sydney Australia and Gary of the England’s Essex crossed paths for a reason- to deliver music in and out of the studio to people who want to move. Grasping such an epic array of house music breeds, Social Hooliganz were born breaking the mold on club land’s world of progressive, bass and electro veils.

Think Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Galantis and a hint of that booming Bassjackers virtue. Taking in dance floors with all their glory, the duo has 100% embraced the influences of fellow global pioneers, reinventing and evolving the sound each time the studio doors shut tight. Across labels like Central Station Records, Eclypse and Preston, there isn’t a doubt that the musical outcome is full throttle. The guys’ original ‘Above The Lights’ took out #1 on the ARIA club charts and remaining in the top 10 for over a month, while ‘I Want Your Soul’ held #12 spot with the remix from Ben Morris and Alex Preston debuting on Tiesto’s Club Life. A consistent spot for a solid remix, the Social Hooliganz vibe has been on point with their edit of G-Wizard and Tenzin’s ‘Coming Through’ tainting ARIA’s #3 position, ‘Celebrate’ for DHM & Coops also taking #3 spot and their bootleg of Diplo & Sleepy Tom’s ‘Be Right There’ attracting over 19k plays on Soundcloud in a very shot time.

Electrifying a crowd is where Linden and Gary bring the energy, delivering only the best tunes at the best festivals like Future Music Festival to some of Australia’s hottest spots from Marquee, Ivy and Home Nightclub Sydney, TRAK in Melbourne and EAST Golden Coast. Not shy of a few passport stamps, the shows offshore have clocked up with impressive bill spots at Amnesia Ibiza, PLAY Hong Kong, B.A.S.E Brazil and Mink Singapore. Rubbing shoulders on headline support antics with Diplo, Dirty Sound, Afrojack and The Bloody Beetroots, it is safe to say they know how to annihilate the inaugural set of the night.

The new year sees a plethora of music exploding from the Social Hooliganz studio with anticipated releases on electric collaborations and original projects. A sure fire road ahead with musical personality to match.
