NEW SINGLE – 'COMING ON STRONG' 
OUT NOW: https://theallergies.lnk.to/ComingOnStrong

The duo of DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat have been delighting dance-floors and lighting up the radio airwaves since forming The Allergies and releasing their debut album in 2016.

Year in, year out, they’ve sharpened their skills on the turntables and in the studio, dropping one dynamite record after another. Clocking up ‘Album of The Day’ gongs, national ad campaign spots, and Radio 6 Music A-list status, the pair show no sign of stopping the fun.

After consecutive top 40 albums, the boys just dropped number seven, FREAK THE SPEAKER. And it’s another stellar showcase for their feel-good funk, soul sampling savvy, and party-starting hip-hop. 

This year they’ll be taking to stages, tents, fields, and cities, supporting the album with their ‘full-band’ live show. But, if you want to catch them in their element, check Moneyshot and Rackabeat cutting up the wax, too, as they take their DJ show to clubs and festivals, far and wide. From Space in Ibiza, to Glastonbury festival, they’ve shook stages and rocked spots.

So, if you like crazy turntable skills, hands-in-the-air beats, all mixed up with some classy crowd rocking music, then an Allergies double-decking DJ set will be right up your street. 

“The Allergies music is big, bouncy and fat! Just how I like my funk” – Craig Charles, BBC Radio 6 Music
