Lewis and Paky met in 1994, and share a passion for the sea and early ‘90s house music. And it was with the single “Jumpinâ€, a true house classic by American DJ Todd Terry, that Lewis and Paky started to work together.
The name “Bastard Boys†is inspired by the mixture of races, just like their own unmistakable blend of sounds.
The groove of these two DJ/producers definitely explores electronic sounds, but with clear tribal contaminations that extend through to the most classic house music.In 1998, the new Plug In Records label decided to release their projects, inaugurating a collaboration that still continues...
The innovative style used in their remixes puts strong emphasis on care for sounds and details, allowing them to work with various artists, including Djamil Thiam, Youssou N'Dour’s outstanding percussionist, in the single “Back to Africaâ€, which saw them featured in the compilations “Renaissance: Revelation†and “Tribal Planetâ€.
They have played as guests in many countries, including the UK, Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, Denmark... and their music will truly move you with its relentless rhythms...
