Intro

Two Friends specialize in a specific brand of high-gloss, high-energy dance-pop that feels like a permanent summer vacation. Their sound is defined by massive, shimmering synth leads and a relentless rhythmic drive that borrows from progressive house and mainstream pop. It is music designed for maximum impact, characterized by its ability to turn a room of strangers into a unified choir within seconds.

What truly sets them apart is their 'Big Bootie' philosophy: a maximalist approach to mixing that weaves together decades of pop-culture nostalgia. They excel at taking familiar vocal hooks from 2000s pop-punk or classic rock and re-contextualizing them over modern, polished electronic production. This creates a unique listening experience where the thrill of recognition meets the physical urge to move, making their sets feel like a curated highlight reel of the listener's own musical memory.

Start with their 'Big Bootie Mix' series to understand their DNA as curators of energy. For their original songwriting, 'Emily' and 'Pacific Coast Highway' offer the best entry points, showcasing their ability to craft standalone anthems that maintain their signature 'best friend' camaraderie and infectious optimism.

Two Friends is an American DJ/producer duo made up of Eli Sones and Matthew Halper. The Los Angeles-based duo gained popularity for their original discography, remixes, and hour-long "Big Bootie" mixes.
