Chaos In The CBD is the New Zealand DJ and production duo of brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales, raised in Auckland and now based in London. Their jazz-inflected deep house sound broke through with the 2015 EP 'Midnight in Peckham', and they have since played stages ranging from Awakenings to Circoloco. In 2017 they co-founded the In Dust We Trust label with Jon Sable. Their debut album 'A Deeper Life', more than a decade in the making, was released in May 2025.
Chaos In The CBD released their debut album 'A Deeper Life' on May 9, 2025 via their own label In Dust We Trust - more than ten years after their first releases.
In January 2025 the brothers played a special one-off show at Auckland Town Hall, their annual return to New Zealand.
In January 2025 they announced 'A Deeper Life' with the single 'Love Language', featuring New Zealand jazz musician Nathan Haines on saxophone.
In October 2024 their remix of Nathan Haines' 'Belo Dia' was released via Loop/EMK.
To celebrate the album they played sold-out shows in London (Shoreditch Street Party) and New York (Knockdown Center).
