Hiem is an electronic dance duo from Sheffield, England, consisting of Nick "Nico" Eastwood and David "Bozz" Boswell.
[edit] Background
Nick Eastwood was a former member of Venini, the band that featured former Pulp guitarist Russell Senior, and ran the near-legendary Le Citrus night at Sheffield's Casbah venue.
Bozz was a collaborator with All Seeing I, a Sheffield collective that had a series of chart hits, and worked with Jarvis Cocker, Tony Christie, Philip Oakey, Babybird and other Sheffield music stars. He is also a DJ and records under the alias of Bozzwell for different labels, including Suicide Recordings, part of the Belgium label Eskimo, and recently for Firm records Koln, which is part of the Kompakt group.
Hiem's music mixes dance, electronica and pop, with a full band when the duo play live which includes Andrew Stenton on drums and Joe Milnes on guitar and keyboards. They have remixed The Lovers, Pink Grease and Norwegian Cheese Nutters Ost n Kjex, amongst others. Hiem have a sizeable following both from the underground dance music scene and also from the more mainstream indie kids. They have recorded live sessions for both Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 1, and Xfm.
As well as the singles listed below, Hiem have appeared on numerous compilations including Adam Beyer's Fabric 22, Flexipop, Northern Electronic, The Electronic Bible 1 and 2, The Ministry Of Sound Chill Out Sessions, and Time Out's The Other Side Of London compilation mixed by Damian Lazarus.
Most recently Hiem have released the Niteflyte 12" on the Sheffield label Society. At present they are working on a full album soon to be released which features collaborations with Roots Manuva and Philip Oakey[1].
On 6th February 2012 Hiem released the single 2AM featuring Phil Oakey [2].
