Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand, brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales are the creative force behind Chaos In The CBD. Since emerging in the early 2010s, they’ve steadily built a reputation as leading purveyors of sophisticated, soulful house music with a distinctly jazzy edge. Drawing inspiration from deep house, UK garage, broken beat, and jazz, their sound is characterized by warm pads, intricate percussion, and a commitment to groove that has won them acclaim and a dedicated global following.

Relocating to London in 2012 marked a turning point in their career, allowing them to immerse themselves in Europe’s vibrant club culture and collaborate with some of the underground’s most influential labels and artists. Their releases on imprints such as Rhythm Section International, Mule Musiq, ClekClekBoom, and their own In Dust We Trust have become staples in discerning DJ sets worldwide. Chaos In The CBD are equally known for their DJ sets, where they blend genres with finesse and champion both rare classics and cutting-edge new music.

The duo’s commitment to thoughtful, immersive dance music experiences has made them fixtures at leading clubs and festivals internationally, while their productions have helped shape the modern house landscape, ensuring their place as influential voices in contemporary dance music.
