CLASH and Pioneer DJ have partnered up to document the rise of our favourite homegrown DJs through a series of curated shorts and mixes titled, ‘For The Love Of It’. Previously we spotlighted DJ SYREETA, now we invite Lancashire duo Bondax to the studio to showcase their versatile production technique.

Adam Kaye and George Townsend, otherwise known as Bondax, are carving their own lane within the dance music realm. Navigating between their root influences in disco, early house and soul, the duo have spent the last decade refining a more niche sound. Although they rose to commercial acclaim in 2011, it wouldn’t be until 2018, with the release of their debut album ‘Revolve’, where the duo tested the barometers of their tried and tested formula, merging more cerebral inflections with a referential continuum of dance music.

In recent years the duo's embrace of a crossover, pop-centric club sound marks a turning point in their journey as DJs, producers and performers. It’s a creative evolution that makes perfect sense; they’ve graced expansive stages at Lost Village, El Dorado and hosted their own sold-out ‘Bondax and Friends’ show at Village Underground. Their latest offering ‘Yabaal to London’ is demonstrative of this shift, elevating their love of celebratory disco-tinged nostalgia, roping in Somalia’s highly-praised funk outfit Dur-Dur Band. Opting for warm grooves and infectious drum patterns, the single is an injection of late summer rooftop glory released via tastemaker label Future Disco.

To demonstrate their skillfulness as producers-in-sync, Bondax have created a track exclusively for this collaboration series between CLASH and Pioneer DJ, utilising the TORAIZ SQUID dynamic sequencer, TORAIZ AS-1 Monophonic synthesiser and RMX effector. The pair detail how an original track can be fashioned in moments, just when inspiration strikes and how this piece of studio wizardry can be tailor-made for the stage when in performance mode.
