Booking Chaos In The CBD

Chaos In The CBD is a deep-house and electronic music duo formed by brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales. Originally from New Zealand and now based in London, they have become known for their refined approach to dance music — subtle grooves, smoky jazz influence, and minimalist elegance. Their sound sits in the delicate balance between club energy and emotional depth, creating tracks that feel as suitable for dance floors as they do for late-night listening.

The duo began producing music in their teens, but their move to London marked a turning point. Immersed in the city’s underground scene, they developed a sonic identity shaped by deep house, broken beat, and jazz. Releases throughout the 2010s positioned them as respected figures in electronic music, especially among DJs who appreciate warm production and musical nuance. Their label, In Dust We Trust, gave them full creative control and allowed them to release music that feels timeless and authentic.

Chaos In The CBD are known not for hype, but for taste. Their tracks often use live percussion, sampled instrument textures, and fluid bass lines, creating a groove that feels organic and hypnotic. On stage, their sets are smooth and immersive — transitions that build tension slowly, drawing the crowd into a continuous flow without ever breaking the vibe. Instead of big drops, they rely on steady momentum, careful curation, and deep musical intuition.

Their sound appeals to listeners who appreciate subtlety: DJs, creatives, and fans of sophisticated electronic music. Chaos In The CBD represent a new generation of producers who prove that less can be more — and that groove, atmosphere, and emotion can keep a dance floor full all night.
