Dense & Pika

Origin: None

Dense & Pika are a British electronic music duo compromising of producer/DJs Alex Jones (Hypercolour label boss) and Chris Spero better known to many by his Glimpse alias.

The duo first came into fruition in mid 2011 with a number of white label releases. It wasn’t long until they were noticed by Scuba and have since had multiple releases under their belt on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode, Scuba’s acclaimed Hotflush imprint and have branched out onto the elusive Hypercolour. Dense & Pika have also been showing off their remixing talents by reworking the likes of Adam Beyer & Ida Engberg, Audion, Digitalism, Disclosure, KDA, Leftfield, Maya Jane Coles, Tiga, X-Press 2 and also Paul Woolford’s ‘Erotic Discourse’, which won the DJ Mag category for ‘Best Remix’ in 2014.

Last year they released a retrospective compilation with their best tracks on Hotflush, including remixes from George Fitzgerald and Grain. They also released their first solo track with Drumcode, achieving a number one single and also releasing a two track single on their own imprint, Kneaded Pains.

This year has seen them release their first EP and two of the hottest remixes this year with their take on Audion’s ‘Mouth to Mouth’ and also Tiga’s ‘Planet E’. The latter, is already touted by Thump as one of the best tracks of the year and we can see their consistently growing profile rising with more releases in the wings.

Touring across the globe on a weekly basis has seen the duo play at some of the best clubs in the world including the now legendary Trouw, Berghain/Panorama Bar, Fabric, Gashouder and international festivals all over the world. Gaining club support from electronic music’s finest DJ dignitaries such as Skream, Scuba, Chris Liebing, Breach, George Fitzgerald, Adam Beyer, Dubfire, Jackmaster, Dusky and beyond.
