147 listings in 32 named rooms, over the last three years · 537 following on RA

From their home base in the heart of the Big Apple’s dynamic dance music scene, the duo have left their mark on countless dancefloors around the world, playing and producing a hypnotic mix of immersive grooves from across the electronic music spectrum.

2022 has been a banner year for Sleepy & Boo, both on the road and in the studio. This summer, they made their return to Europe with a multi-city tour that brought the duo to Berlin (including the infamous Sisyphos), Amsterdam, Barcelona, Prague, Hamburg, and Porto. Miami, Los Angeles, West Palm Beach, Savannah, Denver, Detroit and San Diego have all been DJ destinations for Sleepy & Boo this year, in addition to their regular headlining and support sets throughout some of New York’s finest venues.

On the production front, Sleepy & Boo have kept up a prolific output in the studio. They have focused heavily on their techno expressions recently, building a strong discography of hard-hitting, dub-inspired tracks that have won support from international labels and DJs. New York icon Boris has featured their sounds on his Transmit Recordings label with numerous releases, along with releases on Mavic Music, San Diego’s up-and-coming Techniche label, David Hohme’s Where the Heart Is imprint, the UK’s Colour and Pitch, Australia’s Translucent, Japan’s Hypnotic Room, Aruba’s Arawak, Spain’s KRSL, Italy’s Syncopate, and the UK’s Miles from Mars and Observatory Music impints. Support for their releases have come from artists including Maya Jane Coles, Hernan Cattaneo, Oscar G, Roger Sanchez, Pablo Ceballos, Karotte, Drunken Kong and many more. Sleepy & Boo have funneled the expertise as DJs into their own productions. Their sound is about building a vibe and energy, a sophisticated fusion of relentless percussion, mesmerizing chord stabs, and haunting melodies and arpeggios that fluctuate throughout their tracks. Their productions perfectly capture the tension and anticipation that are the hallmarks of a great night on the dancefloor, honed from Sleepy & Boo’s comprehensive knowledge of the dynamics of building a set.
