most dictionaries would define housekeeping as “the performance or management of household tasks”. however we won’t be doing any of your domestic chores! instead we’ve created our own meaning - call it our philosophy: “the provision and support of quality music that takes time to source and pride to play”. don’t’ scratch it, polish it! we tend to dj in bars and clubs in the home counties and in london, using both cd and vinyl decks, in conjunction with efx units and samplers. last year we expanded our reach across the globe, playing at a variety of parties and venues in sydney, oslo, barcelona, ibiza and just recently in new york. get in touch with us, we dont bite, but bark and awful lot! we’re cleaning up! the housekeeping music studio was finished in 2004, giving us the facility to produce our own style of music 24/7! since then, we have composed a number of original tracks. we also re-edit our favourite classic rare groove, soul and disco tunes to incorporate in our dj sets. feel free to listen to our productions.
“tell me, softly and hastily, what's in the pantry? small housekeeping enough, said phoebe” - sir walter scott.
