‘99%’ sees the duo dive back into their dance-pop sound, drawing inspiration from the UK’s underground clubbing culture and pay homage to their student days.

“The world needs to party now more than ever, and this is our humble offering back to the scene that inspires us constantly and keeps us going,” the duo add.
piri & tommy first formed the band through the COVID pandemic whilst both living in student housing creating uplifting drum 'n' bass tracks.
