For nearly a decade, Wolf + Lamb have faithfully represented an evolving outer edge of dance music. Maintaining the party, while constantly pushing boundaries, the two have cultivated a constantly changing sound based on close-knit family of friends and musicians. Using nothing but two turntables and a steadfast determination to make people move, the duo and their crew have been lighting up dance-floors around the globe. While leaning towards house, the duo and labels sound encompass nuevo disco, hipster crossover, sex house and even strains country.
The partnership was struck when the two discovered a similar penchant for new and exotic styles of music, aesthetic and the ability to tolerate each other for long periods of time. They immediately set out to spread their vision of community, music and the celebration that ties it all together. Starting with small underground parties in New York's lower east side, moving to warehouse raves in Williamsburg, and eventually opening their own venue, the Marcy Hotel in 2005, the duo defined a new, more intimate party akin to Mancuso's Loft or simply a friends' living room.
