After making music together for years, Miami natives Ian and Julian decided to form the powerhouse duo Black V Neck in 2017.The name satirizes the notion that artists have to “fit in” to certain sub genres and gimmicks which is shown through their unique take on house music. Shiba San discovered the duo and signed their first big release on his label Basement Leak. Shortly after, they appeared on ClaudeVonStroke’s radar due to their quality of production and creativity, which led to the release of the Mouth Music EP on DIRTYBIRD. Both tracks, ‘Sex, Drugs,Alcohol’ and ‘Mouth Music’, remained on Beatport’s Top 100 Tech House chart for weeks, solidifying Black V Neck’s ability to consistently deliver captivating music. ‘Sex,Drugs, Alcohol’ has since collected over 40million streams and is played from Clubs to Tik Toks around the world. Black V Neck tracks have made their way into festival performances, club sets, and radio shows worldwide. Their music has continuous support from underground artists such as Gordo, Chris Lake, Lee Foss, to more global acts such as Afrojack, Diplo, Skrillex, CarlCox and DJ Snake. 2020 did not slow the boys down; They signed their first Defected release, remixing John Summit’s breakout summer hit ‘DeepEnd’, which has become their first track to break through Beatport’s Top 10 Overall. Ian and Julian continue to work diligently, having recently released records on Insomniac, Repopulate Mars, Confession, and OWSLA. Black V Neck has remixed tracks from David Guetta, Afrojack, Salvatore Ganacci, Green Velvet, John Summit, VNSSA, and Walker & Royce with more to come.
