Crookers (it)

The hot fuss surrounding Crookers is about to reach fever pitch. Already the hippest act in dance circles, with their debut-album “Tons Of Friends” out in march, things are expected to go mad for the two men from Milan. Their remix of Kid Cudi’s Day ‘n’ Night reached number two in the UK last year, riding high also on the US Airplay charts. This, and their already huge body of work, has attracted the attention of Kanye West and Will I Am who have become fans and collaborators.

Their first release End 2 End, was released in 2006. But it was with “Love To Edit” in 2007 and “Knobbers”, for their current label Southern Fried, when they really made an impact with peers and a burgeoning fan-base. Their rising status was confirmed with over two dozen remixes including club smashes for Dusty Kid (The Cat) and Kid Cudi (Day and Night) and their services have also been called on for A-list stars to crook out The Chemical Brothers, U2, Moby and Britney Spears.

After remixing such huge names in pop and rock Crookers have now gone direct to some of their favourite artists to work alongside on their debut album. Aptly titled “Tons Of Friends” the roll call of pals involved is jaw dropping. It includes, Kelis, Will I Am, Soulwax, Major lazer, RadioClit, Spank Rock, Pitbull, Tim Burgess, Kardinal Offishall and Roisin Murphy. The tracks have been worked on in various studios around Europe or ideas have been developed through i-chat and e-mail. So watch out the Crookers retain their status as dons of the dancefloor, they already have “Tons of Friends” and they’ll have a whole load more!
