Chaos In The CBD are a house music duo from Auckland, New Zealand, consisting of brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales. The duo create understated house and techno that encompass elements of jazz, tribal and the balearic sound.^[1]

History

The duo began releasing music in the early 2010s, truly arriving with the release of 2015 Midnight in Peckham; the EP's hypnotic, horn-driven title cut became an underground hit.^[2] Numerous releases on the duo's own In Dust We Trust imprint followed, including 2017's Accidental Meetings and 2022's Intimate Fantasy. Their first commercially issued DJ mix, Fabric Presents Chaos in the CBD, arrived in 2023.^[3]

The duo’s strong grasp of house music history made their Fabric presents Chaos In The CBD essential listening in 2023. Creating a tunnel between 1990 to 2007, the mix is a timeless listen, condensing the ebbs, flows, gear changes and the feelings that surface during an all-night-long experience.
