Brothers Ali and Basti are Tiefschwarz, which directly translated, means a deep hue of black. It's a timeless meaning, much like the German duo's deep house sound. With over two decades of experience producing, remixing and DJing under their belts, Tiefschwarz are an incomparable pair that have held down residencies at some of the world's best venues like fabric and Watergate, appeared regularly at Space and Cocoon in Ibiza, reworked the likes of Masters at Work, Depeche Mode, Madonna and Missy Elliott, and show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Ali of Tiefschwarz joins us in The Lab LA this Friday.
