While their choice of pets is a bit odd 🦙, U.K. electronic duo Overmono are known for their infectious, club-ready sound, informed by their love of hard-edged '90s rave, trance, and breakbeat. Debuting with the Arla EP trilogy during the middle of the 2010s, the duo gradually became a ubiquitous presence in the club world.
Raised in Wales, siblings Tom (aka Truss, no, not the former UK Prime Minister 😓) and Ed Russell (aka Tessela) both had successful careers in electronic music before they began collaborating as Overmono.
In their own words: "Despite doing some live shows together and the fact that we are brothers, we hadn't ever really written music together and wanted to start something new. We decided to head to a remote cottage in rural Wales, near to where we grew up. The trip ended up being the most creative stint either of us had ever had and after a week we had the foundations for Overmono."
Songs ”BMW Track"/"So U Kno" on the duo's own label,Poly Kicks; its B-side was named the best track of the year by Resident Advisor. Cash Romantic, their third XL release to feature dogs on the cover, came out in 2022. They also released "Blind Date," a Joy Overmono track based around an Abra sample.
Not sure what you guys will think 🤔? But, right now I am loving Overmono ✌🏼
