A decade in house music has seen Amos promote and DJ at some of Bristol’s most influential parties, including the infamous superclub, Scream and holding residencies at some of dance music’s most influential parties.

Rich took a different path, first cutting his teeth in the world of jungle and drum ‘n’ bass, before finding himself at the heart of the fledgling dubstep scene, producing under his ‘Soundbox Productions’ moniker.

Fast forward a few years, and a chance meeting on Bristol’s after-party circuit saw them come together to create the eclectic and undeniably unique sound of Waifs & Strays.

Their debut track – 2010’s late night ‘3am’ – was rapidly snapped up for Matt Tolfrey’s Leftroom imprint, and set the benchmark high for future success; featuring in DJ Mag’s essential releases, and picking up props from major players including Luciano, DJ T, Anja Schneider, dOP, Danny Tenaglia and Laurent Garnier.

The follow-up record ‘Yeah Yeah’, gathered significant international support following its debut at the 2011 Detroit Music Conference, and being played at almost every club from Fabric to Watergate, featuring first on Heidi’s Radio 1 show and then becoming Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune.

2011 saw the boy’s profile grow, following on from huge success with their tracks and remixes on the likes of Get Physical, Hot Creations, Leftroom and Futureboogie, all of which ended up featuring high on the dance music charts and the worlds most important dancefloors across the globe.

With a busy diary of UK and international gigs for the start of 2012, the Waifs & Strays are on the outside no more.
