New York duo Soffi Tukker are bringing worlds together. On single ‘Drinkee’, the pair mix Portuguese lyrics (singer Sophie is bilingual and used to play in a bossa nova trio), with a taut, rocky guitar-line and an underlying squelchy house beat. The pair got together when 25-year-old DJ Tucker Halpern saw 23-year-old Sophie’s band playing, and asked to remix one of the tracks on the spot. He eventually poached Sophie, encouraging her to move to New York full time to form a band with him. We think she made the right decision.
