As many Antipodean acts have before and since, Auckland brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales, aka Chaos In The CBD, relocated to London in 2012 to try to bust through the glass ceiling that comes with moderate success in New Zealand. A combination of raw talent, evolving musical sophistication and extreme likeability have made the ensuing 12 years and counting a resounding success story, and Chaos In The CBD are now a cherished and central part of the London electronic music scene.

Deep, atmospheric house music with a heavy jazz influence is the brothers' stock-in-trade, and their uncanny ability to merge the two styles has long marked them out. Though the pair are yet to release a full-length album, there are dozens of excellent Chaos EPs to dig into, plus their roundly praised Fabric 23 DJ mix album from last year, which will be a good steer on what to expect in this set at Input.
