Phil and Dan Brookes, otherwise known as the Brookes Brothers, are drum and bass producer from London, UK. The two brothers discovered a love for the more soulful sounds of drum’n’bass around the turn of the millenium, but it wasn't until 2006 that they surfaced with "Portal/Desert Island" on Danny Wheeler’s W10 imprint. This was followed by "Verano", a collaborative effort with Nick Douwma, otherwise known as Sub focus. In 2007, the Brookes Brothers were exclusively signed to DJ Fresh and Adam F’s label Breakbeat Kaos. Their first release was "Hard Knocks/Mistakes", receiving major radio support from Zane Lowe, Pete Tong and the Trophy Twins, as well as staple drum & bass DJ’s such as Andy C, Grooverider, and Adam F[1]. In 2007, collaborated with another rising drum and bass star, Culture Shock, creating the monster track "Rework". In 2008, the brothers continue to assault the market with a host of big tunes such as F-Zero, Gold Rush, Dawn Treader and Crackdown. They hold residencies in both Fabric<red>"Fabric night club".</ref> and Herbal nightclubs, playing regular national and international DJ sets. Their self titled debut album finally dropped in 2011, under the label Breakbeat Kaos
