Inspired by the quirky musical leanings that characterised the pair's longstanding friendship (they first met in the early '90s while dodging university in Brighton to play in a string of rock and metal bands), Al and El notched up an enviable arsenal of chart-bothering tracks including four UK top 20 hits and six number 1's around the world. Recent additions to the roster include Dutch trio Kraak & Smaak, Uk based Ikon and Canadian duo Wicked Lestor.
