Only moving to London in 2012 after an upbringing around the North, The Willers Brothers (Sean and Liam) quickly established themselves as firm favourites on the floor of Egg thanks to their groove driven house sound.
Originally raised on their dad's diet of hip hop and d&b, these days their musical heroes are Apollonia, D'Julz and John Dimas as sampled on their popular release 'Can You Get Up' on Beste Freunde’. It's this dancefloor attitude that has won the track fans from Yousef to Marco Carola, and also landed them radio shows on stations such as Hoxton FM and bloop. As well as their Egg London residency you can catch their new ‘Shimmy Shimmy EP” forthcoming on What Came First as well as performing shows and festivals across Europe including Ibiza, Spain to Sisyphos in Berlin and you can be sure The Willers Brothers are just warming up...
My favourite record shop/store is…
Phonica in Poland Street, Soho
They always have a nice selection of house and their in stores are really happening.
My favourite shop is...
Anything but the Co-Operative Store.
We live opposite one and it sucks so basically anything that’s decent!
My favourite club is…
Egg London of course :-) I’ve been going there for like 6 or 7 years now and there’s nothing like the atmosphere for real partying
My favourite club night is…
Berlin Berlin - that party is really bringing a great feel of the city to London and no one else is really doing that at the moment.
If I could DJ with any celebrity (musical or non musical) it would be…
Bruce Lee would be pretty interesting just because it's Bruce Lee!!!!
When I’m in a bar I drink…
Vodka Lemonade or brandy and coke
My favourite pub/bar is…
The Star of Kings, Kings Cross which funnily enough is just down the road from Egg London and a perfect place for a pre-clubbing pint.
My favourite restaurant is…
Tonkotsu East in Dalston. They do some really nice ramen and it’s definitely worth a look
The best area of London is…
Shoreditch, we live there and our studio is there. It’s really buzzing and there’s always something going on especially in and around Brick Lane on a Sunday :-)
What’s the best thing about London?
There are many good things…we really love how diverse the city is with so many people from all different walks of life and so many opportunities
If I want a little peace and quiet when I’m in London I…
In the summer we head for the Regents Canal up near Angel which is always a nice place to go and take your mind of off everything for a while
Where do you go to relax in town?
We usually head to the Shoreditch Grind at Old Street. It’s a good place to grab a coffee and chill for an hour before we hit our studio in Brick Lane and start getting creative.
What’s your favourite building?
The Shard.
That’s one cool piece of architecture and I love seeing it in the skyline as it always reminds you that you’re in the big smoke
What’s the worst thing about London?
The price. Everything is so expensive! :(
If I could change one thing about London…
I would put a cap on housing and rental prices as they’re so crazy here right now!
Imagine you’re Mayor for the day. If you could create one law for London what would it be?
To stop closing down all the live and club venues!
Tell us a London gem that everyone should know about…
One thing everyone should do in London is go to Egg London and party with their mates - it’s great to see the sun come up in the garden :-)
