The Allergies LIVE
Since forming in 2012, The Allergies have made it their mission to reshape funky vintage sounds for the modern dancefloor.
Both skilled turntablists, known for their 45 only vinyl sets, the duo of DJ Moneyshot & Rackabeat first bonded over their love of classic hip-hop and beats – later deciding to to pool their knowledge into making their own music.
After breaking on to the scene with a Mixmag ‘Tune of the Month’, The Allergies continued in their mission to bring re-fuelled funk and feel-good hip-hop to the masses.
In 2015 they were snapped up by Jalapeno Records and dropped their debut album “As We Do Our Thing” a year later. On release it gained ‘Album of the Day’ status on 6 Music and became the bestselling hip-hop album on the iTunes and Juno charts. In 2016, they headlined the BBC 6 Music Festival in Bristol.
“The Allergies are neck deep in the world of scratchy samples… This is truly funk and soul for the 21st century!”
– Craig Charles, BBC 6 Music
The Allergies’ second album “Push On” charged charged up the UK’s official indie album charts on its debut, and became album of the week on Juno. The singles started racking up serious plays on BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 2, with a second 6 Music ‘Album of the Day’ and a coveted ‘Album of the Year’ award to round things off in 2017.
The three LPs that followed were sonic steps forward, winning the pair die-hard fans and further BBC 6 Music ‘Album of the Day’ and ‘Album of the Year’ awards along the way.
With each successive release they find strength in numbers, forming a crack team of vocalists, rappers and musicians around them and fleshing out their sound.
