Snakehips
You know an act’s hot when they’re namechecked in every other feature in FAULT Magazine. That’s what people say, right?
As uncertain as that may be, it’s clear that British electro duo Snakehips (aka Oliver Lee and James Carter) have been making waves with a host of our featured artists recently: Olly Chamberlain, Vanessa White and Midnight Pool Party are all big fans.
Following the success of January single ‘Don’t Leave’ – featuring acclaimed Danish songstress MØ – the remixers-turned-producers have returned with their latest offering ‘Right Now’.
Featuring Snakehips’ customary lineup of electrifying young talent, ‘Right Now’ marries sensual club vibes with crisp hip-hop lyrics performed by Lil’ Yachty collaborator D.R.A.M. Emerging Atlanta-based singer/songwriter ELHAE and mysterious vocalist H.E.R. also feature on the track. With a back catalogue of projects with the likes of Anderson Paak, Chance The Rapper, Syd, Tory Lanez and Tinashe, it’s fair to say that Snakehips have a knack of working with the hottest breakthrough artists around. We expect to be hearing a lot more from the capitalized trio very soon.
After two major festival dates in Ireland and Spain, the duo will be touring in American throughout June (full tour schedule below). On the 8th September, the pair will return to London for what promises to be a huge homecoming gig at the 2,300 capacity O2 Forum in Kentish Town. We’ll be there – and we suggest you snap a ticket while you still can!
