He's been featured in every international dance music publication, nominated alongside four others for 'Best British DJ' for DJ Mag, number four in IDJ players of the year and number fourteen in Mixmag's best DJ's in the world 2007.

ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD (UK)

"The Zombies use that rare combination of hip-hop and house that I am always
searching for. A hot duo that I will be watching for sure"- Claude Von Stroke
"One of the most exciting prospects of 2009" - Jesse Rose
Lucas Hunter & Nat Self are Zombie Disco Squad, the multi-talented production duo taking house music in a new direction. Taking influences from Balie Funk, African rhythms, Baltimore, Hip-Hop, the so-called fidget sound and making it sound fresh. You won't find any cheesy gimmicks in their records but what you will find are tracks played by some of the most influential DJ’s and clubs around the globe. They've travelled around the world touring the states and Europe playing clubs such as Fabric in London, Panorama Bar in Berlin and Hive in Zurich before even having one official single release. Their remixes have had plays by Radio 1's Annie Mac, Pete Tong and Zane Lowe to name a few. The boys have already picked up support from across the board with Jesse Rose signing them exclusively to his Made to Play label but not before one Mr Claude Von Stroke stepped in for a single on DirtyBird. 2009 is looking like their breakthrough year with a residency at Panorama Bar in Berlin, tours with Made to Play, releases on Daniel Haaksman's Man Recordings, DirtyBird, Made to Play and a production sound that is second to none.
We've been watching these dudes for a while now and we've heard amazing things. Institubes head honcho, Teki Latex says they are hands down one of the best live DJ shows in Europe at the moment. Their sound is amazing and if you don't know them already they are going to be huge.
