JUNE 2017

CamelPhat & Elderbrook's now global track started no different from any of their other tracks, an underground record, the Liverpool duo not knowing just how big it would become. Mike who makes up one half of CamelPhat told Skiddle "When we made it we didn't really think that much of it, it took four months to get signed but once it did it sky rocketed".

The track originally debuted on Danny Howard's BBC Radio 1 hottest record in the world in June this year, Dave who completes the other half of CamelPhat spoke to Danny, telling him the track was made in two or three hours after a lucky last minute meeting with Elderbrook in the studio. On 23rd of June 'Cola' was officialy released.
