Tom and Jez, collectively known as nu-skool breaks DJ’s/Producers ‘The AutØbØts’, have established themselves on a worldwide stage, with their instantly recognizable blend of tearing basslines and funky breaks.
Their label ‘Broke Recordings’ won the coveted ‘Breakthru Label’ award in the 2005 ‘Breakspoll’ award ceremony @ Fabric in London, and came runner up in the ‘Best Label’ category in 2006. whilst Broke’s sister label ‘Brock Out’ currently offers a platform for emerging artists to nurture their talents in a professional environment.
‘Broke’ recordings are consistently found in the record bags of many globally recognized artists such as Fat Boy Slim, The Crystal Method, Krafty Kuts, DJ Icey, The Plump Djs and Stanton Warriors, as well as thousands of other professional DJ’s and enthusiasts alike. ‘Broke’ is a regular player on Radio stations worldwide, scoring numerous rewinds on BBC Radio1's Zane Lowe show & Annie Nightingale's shows.
Their music also features on TV! The most recent of which can be heard in an episode of CSi-Miami.
In terms of gigs, The AutØbØts have racked up hundreds over the last 6 years, many in their homeland UK, at clubs and events such as Eargasm @ Fabric, Fuse, Breakspoll, Raindance, and Spectrum.
They also made appearances at Reading and Guildford festivals in 2003, and Glastonbury in 2004 as well as V Festival and The Glade in 2005.
Abroad, the ‘BØts’ have played all over the world incorporating countries such as Japan, Canada, Russia, Czech Republic, Latvia, Hungary, Spain (over 30 times, including performing to 10,000 people at the Esparrago festival), and 13 tours of the USA, including 4 appearances @ Winter Music Conference, in Miami.
These regular international excursions have helped to extended The AutØbØts global appeal and the duo is subsequently attracting interest from all quarters.
