About Soccer96

An eclectic synth and drum duo who specialise in a heady blend of jazz, prog, and electronica, London's Soccer96 is the creation of Danalogue (Dan Leavers) and Betamax (Max Hallett), both of whom also play with electro-jazz/Afro-beat trio The Comet Is Coming. In addition to their work together and with The Comet Is Coming, both artists have busy professional lives: Leavers performs alongside Henry Wu, Scratcha DVA, and Rozi Plain, and produces albums for Flamingods, Snapped Ankles, and Ibibio Sound Machine, while Hallett also plays in Super Best Friends Club and Hot Head Show, and sits in with the likes of Sons Of Kemet and the Boredoms, just to name a few. The project began to take shape in 2012 with the release of the duo's eponymous debut LP, followed by the album As Above So Below in 2016, released on Slowfoot Records to critical acclaim. A bevy of high-profile performances followed, along with a collaboration with CAN frontman Damo Suzuki. In 2018 they released Rewind, a nod to the beat tape aesthetic all recorded on a vintage Alice mixing desk in a garden shed, inspired by a myriad of influences ranging from West Coast psychedelic hip hop to South London post punk.
