The Allergies

 

Since forming in 2012 The Allergies have made it their mission to reshape funky vintage sounds for the modern dancefloor. 

​

Both skilled turntablists in their own right, and known for their 45-only vinyl sets, the duo of DJ Moneyshot & Rackabeat first bonded over their love of classic hip-hop and beats, then decided to pool their knowledge and skills into making their own music.

​

“We like breaks, funky basslines, horns, and dancefloor grooves. We’re inspired by the golden eras of funk, soul, disco and hip-hop, and we try and cram that into three and a half minutes!”

​

Along the way they’ve racked up two ‘Tune of the Month’ awards in Mixmag, topped download charts, and are now second week running on the A list at 6 Music with their latest release Felony. 

​

Through out their 4 album career Ugly Duckling frontman Andy Cooper has been a Jalapeno Publishing signed co-writer and performer on many of the album tracks in a fruitful relationship which has seen the LA resident touring regularly with The Allergies and add some lyrical science to their music. 

​

Rock Rock  - an Allergies feat Andy Cooper Classic tune – has seen phenomenal sync success  including a year long Sky UK TV campaign.  

​

The new album Say The Word promises to be their best yet, and at this rate could do some serious damage in the charts, as well as hearts and minds.
