The Making Of US
Utah Saints have been making music, DJ'ing and playing gigs around the globe since the birth of House Music.
The world renowned duo have released 9 Top 40 UK hits, 4 of which hit the Top 10 and sold over 2 million records worldwide (equivalent to 800m+ streams).
Precariously walking the tightrope between genres and the underground and mainstream, Utah Saints roots are firmly in electronic dance music.
​
Having met in a club in Leeds at the beginning of the rave movement in the UK they've subsequently established themselves as pioneers of sampling in dance music.
