Former international aid worker teams up with Icelandic security specialist and former top model to create an international DJ supergroup. Certainly not what you’d expect from a group called Thugfucker – but then Greg Oreck and Holmar Filipsson often do tend to defy expectations.One a New Yorker transplanted to Europe, the other an Icelander transplanted to New York.
Both from a strong musical background with an almost obsessive dedication to the art of wild party instigation.Growing up on an Icelandic commune full of some of the country’s finest political thinkers, Holmar eschewed his past and all the heady philosophy of his childhood to move to New York and search out more physical and visceral methods of bringing happiness to the masses.Meanwhile Greg was in the midst of a successful (if short-lived) political career in America when he too became disillusioned with the duplicity and self serving interest of those around him. Disturbed by the void he saw in most people’s lives, it was in the dark depths of the New York underground club scene that he finally found his true calling.
Unbeknownst to each other, Holmar and Greg then propelled themselves along similar paths, throwing parties, honing their musical & studio skills and searching out inspiration from a wide variety of musical sources.Then one late night, in a cloudy alcohol fueled discussion about the plight of the genetically Rhythm-Blind, Holmar and Greg recognized the depth of their shared passions. Thugfucker was born.Both individually and together they’ve racked up releases on Nang, Bear Funk, Internasjonal, Moodmusic, Komplex De Deep, Crack & Speed, Global Underground, Great Stuff, Brique Rouge, Was not Was, Dialect, Music For Freaks, Fine and more.
Their records have been dropped by DJ’s big and small across the globe. And the Thugfucker boys have not only played alongside many of them, they’ve outdrunk more than a few them as well. Show less
