   About The Slips
They've been in existence for barely for a year but The Slips - aka David Treahearn and Rob Haggett - are already generating a real buzz in the UK electro scene. They have a runaway success in their remix of CSS 'Music Is My Hot Hot Sex' (thrown out by everyone from Rob da Bank at Radio One to Vicarious Bliss at Ed Banger), an admirer in French production genius Mirwais, and a cache of glowing press cuttings - all uncourted - from the handful of live shows they've played.

Cutting their musical teeth as young studio engineers, they learned the trade with legendary producer Mark 'Spike' Stent, working with everyone from Madonna to Massive Attack, Brian Wilson to Björk, before breaking out of the grueling studio regime of hundred-hour-weeks to take their homebrewed pulsating glitch-disco out on the road. Their first show was last summer - the night the smoking ban hit the UK - and this smoking performance led to immediate bookings for further dates across the country, including In The City and The Great Escape Festival in Brighton.

January saw The Slips release a 7" single 'Girls At The Back Up' in the States as part of LA based IAMSOUND's Singles Club, reaching 6 on The Hype Machine on the day of the release.

They became friends with Mirwais after working with him on Madonna's album 'American Life' and recently teamed up with him again on his latest musical project with Yasmine Hamden. YAS is "the first international Electro project that places the Arabic language at the centre of pop culture", and The Slips have remixed the debut single 'Yaspop', due for release later this year on Universal.

It's set to be a busy 2008 for the boys - their brilliant debut single 'Superbeat' hits in September, supported by a strong remix package and exciting live show encompassing their own sexy retro visuals. The remix package includes an bouncing electro-breaks re-rub from top tastemaker Eddy Temple Morris, a more laidback radio-friendly mix from Mirwais plus remixes from upcoming talents Streetlab and AntiChris- UK based electro terrorist. The Slips will be playing out on a number of upcoming dates, including the O2 Wireless festival in Hyde Park along with further shows up and down the country.
