The German-based duo have been crafting innovations in house & techno for a long time now, and have been making quite a name for themselves in the process - not only known for their stellar production techniques and massive house tracks, but they are also known for their ability to rock crowds senseless the world over.

Want me to let you in on some good news? The dudes are coming to Australia this month for a string of dates! Get hyped!
