At first it was two DJs having more fun playing shows together rather than separately. That turned into an Amsterdam club night, after which Yellow Claw took their show on the road-in the Netherlands and across the world. Their first songs came out in 2012, Blood For Mercy became a mantra and Barong Family was established as a record label. With a huge, loyal fanbase crowding their gigs from Las Vegas to Tokyo and everywhere in between, Yellow motherfucking Claw’s is one of the most electrifying shows you’ll come across.

As much as their music is about energy release by any means necessary, Yellow Claw’s whole approach is highly conceptual and deliberate: from the numbered mixtapes to the branded merchandise (parkas to bathing suits), the slick music videos and collaborations with artists as diverse as Diplo and Ty Dolla $ign, Ti?sto and Pusha T. Launched in 2014, Barong Family has become a home to upcoming, likeminded artists like Cesqeaux, LNY TNZ, Moksi, Mightyfools, Mike Cervello, Chace and more.

Over the years, Yellow Claw has performed at the main stages of EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, Jack ?’s New Year’s Eve party, Spring Awakening and Coachella in the United States, Tomorrowland in Belgium, Mysteryland, Kingsday Festival, The Flying Dutch and Sensation in the Netherlands and Future Music Festival in Australia, has held a residency at the Wynn Las Vegas and played numerous headline shows in North and South America, Eastern and Western Europe and all along East Asia.

In November of 2015 Yellow Claw finally delivered its full-length debut album Blood For Mercy on Mad Decent, followed by a massive US tour. Featuring many big name features, it went straight to #1 on Billboard’s Heatseeker Albums as well as Top Dance/Electronic Albums charts and also reached #1 on Beatport.

In 2016, Blood For Mercy won the Edison award (Dutch equivalent of the Grammys) for dance music in the Netherlands. The single “In My Room”, made in partnership with DJ Mustard and featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Tyga, has so far clocked over 10 million views on YouTube and over 96 million streams on Spotify (not counting remixes). Two brand new singles were released both featuring debuting singer Yade Lauren (“Invitation” followed by “Love & War”) with a 16-date Barong Family World Tour scheduled in between for good measure.

As Yellow Claw continue to play shows around the globe almost every weekend, they are pressing on with their second album which is expected to come out before the beginning of spring 2017. In the meantime, Barong Family, keeps up a regular schedule of releasing banger after banger from new as well as more established family members.

Coming off explosive sets at Ultra Music Festival, Hard Summer and Tomorrow World, the dynamic DJ/producer duo Milo & Otis are knee-deep in the middle of a banner year. With their hit single “Trap Arms” already creating pandemonium on festival stages and dance floors across the globe, the unrivaled pair are currently working on their debut EP on the OWSLA music label.

With all their success, Milo & Otis almost never came into existence. Made up of Graham Andrew and Matt Nemethy, the two originally started on very different career paths; Graham in college working on an engineering degree and Matt in Orlando as a budding skateboarder. But thanks to fellow DJ and mutual friend Henry Fong, Graham and Matt started working on music together despite the distance between them. Once they both moved to the West Coast the Milo & Otis production machine went into full swing, and interest in the group reached fever pitch.

While their original tracks “Siren (Just One)” and “Friendly City” started turning heads,Milo & Otis got their break working on remixes forOasis’ “Wonderwall” andHenry Fong’s “Stand Up.”The combination of trap, moombathon and electro house earned them a rabid fanbase and caught the ears of renowned producers like Skrillex and A-Trak; Skrillex even handpicked the duo to join his 2014’s famed Mothership Tour.

Milo & Otis continued to produce unparalleled remixes for artists such as Zedd feat. Selena Gomez, Duck Sauce, Steve Aoki, and Wolfgang Gartner, as their collaborations with Paul Wall and N.O.R.E for the track “Diamondz,” but it didn’t end there. A collaboration withA-Trakfor “Out the Speakers,” propelled them to new heights. “Out the Speakers” became a full-fledged phenomenon, licensed for both a Mountain Dew spot that premiered during the Super Bowl, and an episode of the hit HBO series “Ballers.”

Still reeling from playing festivals including Global Dance Denver, Holy Ship, Fool’s Gold Day Off in both Miami and LA, as well as multiple plays at Drais in Las Vegas, the duo are now in the studio hard at work on their first EP.
