#All my friends are wasted snakehips chords full
"We aim to make full songs," explains James, "rather than just a dance song where it has the whole build up and the drop, and that middle bit and what not." "Even with our remixes, we've always used a vocal," continues Ollie.
"There are so many different vibes, there's not just one thing we're most focused around," says Ollie. Ribbons of old school R&B, soul, disco, hip hop and beat music all run through their songs. The duo draws upon a wide range of influences in the studio. Because some people say we make really chill music, and some people say we make really hype music," he laughs. "It's chill, but high up beats," says James. What is true is that the sound is undeniably their own. If you ask five different people to describe Snakehips' sound, it wouldn't be surprising to get five different answers. We were just like, 'okay, now we want some nice jazzy chords,'" continues James with a laugh. "We both had the same vibe of stuff," remarks Ollie. We decided to get in the studio together once we were back in London, and that was basically it." Like many successful production duos, the pair immediately clicked, musically. "We got to talking and then realized we were on the same flight back to LA," says James. The duo, by pure chance, crossed paths years back in Hong Kong on business.
On the west coast, the pair were relaxing after playing HARD's halloween rager Day of the Dead, alongside the likes of Vic Mensa and Flying Lotus. THUMP caught the duo in LA over a breakfast Skype date before they took off on the rest of their US Tour. With their latest single blowing up on Spotify, Snakehips are establishing their own high-class brand of chilled out, jacked up beats. With their tracks featuring on Majestic Casual, a popular YouTube channel, the duo has racked up tens of millions of plays. The UK crew, consisting of two London-based producers, Oliver Lee and James Carter, has been smashing remixes and original productions since 2012. If you have been to a house party with a DJ that knows half a damn about playing some good music to vibe out to, then you've definitely heard Snakehips.
