Over the past decade, Chaos In The CBD, the brotherly production duo of Louis and Ben Helliker-Hales, have captivated global audiences with their spectral, jazz-inflected deep house sound. With over 100 million streams worldwide, the New Zealand-born, London-based artists are set to release their highly anticipated debut album, 'A Deeper Life' via the label head's very own In Dust We Trust imprint.
To celebrate the announcement, Chaos In The CBD have shared the atmospheric lead single 'Love Language', featuring fellow New Zealander Nathan Haines on saxophone. It's an undeniable standout moment on the album - moody, ethereal, and naturally soothing. Speaking on the track, Chaos In The CBD explains: 'Love Language' is a track that suits almost any setting, evoking the laid-back, easygoing rhythm of life in New Zealand. Perfect for a road trip to the beach or those magical moments at an after party when the sun reappears. 'Love Language' feels like a reflection of the journey that brought it to life and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.' The 14 track LP marks a significant evolution in Chaos In The CBD's artistic journey. Known for their signature sound epitomized by their breakout EP 'Midnight In Peckham' on Rhythm Section, the duo's debut album unites live instrumentation and vocal collaborations for the first time, fusing together key musical influences such as ambient, soulful house, R&B, jazz & Balearic into a melting pot of an epic journey that will surely become a future classic. If 'Midnight In Peckham' was the duo's coming of age; then their debut album is Chaos In The CBD coming full circle. It features contributions from legendary figures such as Josh Milan of Blaze, Lee Pearson Jr., Stephanie Cooke and UK grime MC Novelist, among others. Though they've been based in London for over a decade, Louis and Ben (aka Beans) have never stopped feeling at one with their homeland. 'A Deeper Life' is nostalgic for their nature-filled youth, exploring the magical coastline and lush rainforest of New Zealand. 'The title refers to our childhood, which was idyllic,' says Ben. 'It was just the sun, the sand, the sea, waterfalls, birds and fish...' The result is an international dance sound that feels unmistakably like Chaos and ebbs and flows from the beach party to the club to the afterhours. 'It's laid-back but still driving at the same time; it's club ready, but still deep,' Ben explains. It's also distinctly Balearic: The brothers found a particular affinity with 90s Ibiza chillout music, being from such a 'chill place' themselves. 'In it's own way, New Zealand is incredibly Balearic, but without the party side' says Ben. The brothers hope that their debut evidences their deep appreciation of 90s house music, from David Morales's Red Zone mixes and Kerri Chandler to DJ Sprinkles, Larry Heard and beyond. 'We didn't go to the school of hard knocks, we went to the school of Carl Cox,' they wrote in one of their typically hilarious posts on Instagram. But while they've built a meme-driven online personality for their social media accounts, their album shows a deeper side to them too. 'We joke around but we want this album to be taken seriously,' says Louis. 'It's music from all around the globe, and there's a deep meaning to how it flows and sticks together'. For Chaos In The CBD, 'A Deeper Life' is more than an album - it's a celebration of their roots, their community, and their enduring bond as brothers. 'This is a love letter to home and the feeling of being within nature,' says Louis. 'It's also an ode to a slower pace of life.' The album is an invitation to journey through their world: from the beaches of New Zealand to the heart of London's dancefloors, and everywhere in between. 'A Deeper Life' is set to be both a club-ready triumph and a reflective escape for listeners worldwide.

However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
