Walker&Royce have been producing their emotive, subdued and groove-heavy
deep house since 2011— but almost from the start, they were touted as
future stars. Now it’s official, thanks to a certain UK tastemaker— not to
mention a string of stellar productions and remixes.-Bruce Tantum: Editor,

"Walker&Royce" started when Sam and Gavin, having known each other in and
out of the dance scene for years, finally began working together in 2011.
As things usually go, it was a bit of luck that got them off the ground:
Crosstown Rebels boss Damian Lazarus noticed one of their very first
releases, a remix of
SAARID "Future Lately" on Nervous Records. The result was the Crosstown
Rebels EP "Youre Not Welcome" and with that, Walker&Royce was launched into
the dance music spotlight.
Around the same time, Walker&Royce released a track on OFF Recordings that
went on to become a house anthem: "Connected". The song became a mainstay
in Solomuns performances and with that set the stage for a diverse range of
sounds from the pair. Their EP on Moda Black entitled “Sister” was picked
by Pete Tong as his Essential New Tune, and their chart toping remix of
Baunz’ “Out the Window” on Pets Recordings garnered support from many of
the biggest artists in electronic music. Most recently the duo has joined
the ranks on Claude Vonstroke’s seminal Dirtybird Records with the release
of the “Boy” EP and “Hit Dem Draws” and Green Velvet’s legendary Relief
Records with their chart toping release “Peep This Cat”, continuing their
accession within electronic music’s elite artists.
Having solidified their unique sound, you will hear Walker&Royces music in
many of the top DJ's from around the world! From Sasha to Adam Beyer, Maceo
Plex to Gorgon City and Eats Everything to Locodice, they continue to break
down the genre barriers and turn heads....
