Brothers Jeff and Kevin Saurer founded Hippie Sabotage in Sacramento, California, in 2005. Basically at home in the electronic dance music scene, the duo stands in particular for a relaxed mix of downtempo productions, in which more aggressive patterns also appear time and again. Saurer and Saurer, who originally started out in the indie genre, increasingly developed into a celebrated electronica act in the second half of the 2000s. The first reward: invitations to play high-profile gigs at festival giants such as Lollapalooza. Hippie Sabotage became known to an even wider audience in 2013 with the release of their debut EP Vacants. Shortly afterwards, they released their debut LP The Sunny Album (2014), with the single "Habits (Stay High)" in collaboration with Swedish singer Tove Lo becoming a worldwide hit in the same year. the second album Providence was released in 2016, before Hippie Sabotage followed up with their fourth album Drifter in 2017. The two brothers, who say they once lived in their car for a year, go on a major Legends of Fall tour in 2018. Musically, there will be news from 2020: The US producers, who can also boast a successful Ellie Goulding mash-up("Fifty Shades of Habits"; 2015), are already presenting their fifth studio work with Red Moon Rising. This will be followed by 2021's Floating Palace, on which Jeff and Kevin Saurer remain true to their stylistic line, consisting of bass-heavy EDM and decelerated rhythms.
