New Zealand-born brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales (aka Chaos in the CBD) create understated house and techno that encompass elements of jazz. The duo began releasing music in the early 2010s, truly arriving with the release of 2015's Midnight in Peckham; the EP's hypnotic, horn-driven title cut became an underground hit. Numerous releases on the duo's own In Dust We Trust imprint followed, including 2017's Accidental Meetings and 2022's Intimate Fantasy. Their first commercially issued DJ mix, Fabric Presents Chaos in the CBD, arrived in 2023.

Born in 1989, the brothers were brought up listening to their parents' rock records, going on to join jazz and indie bands in their early teenage years. In the mid-2000s they discovered electronic music, eventually learning to produce and DJ. In 2011 they began touring in Europe, encouraging them to leave Auckland permanently for better access to their European audience; they moved to Peckham, London in 2012. 

Over the next three years they released a diverse set of EPs, including the jazz/disco-infused 816 to Nunhead and the understated techno of No Signal Found, both on Urulu's Amadeus Records. In 2015 they released a standout EP, Midnight in Peckham, through Rhythm Section International.  Featuring complex drum patterns and the inclusion of Isaac Aesili on trumpet, the record sold out in less than two weeks. The next two records, Constraints of Time Travel on Church and Global Erosion on YAM Recordings, saw them double down on the jazz elements in their music. In 2016, they remained with Rhythm Section International for Invisible Spectrum, and also began a working relationship with Japan's Mule Musiq, releasing the EPs Digital Harmony and Subterranean Storm.

In 2017 Chaos in the CBD set up the In Dust We Trust label alongside Jon Sable, launched with the release of the Accidental Meetings EP. Much of their subsequent material was released through their imprint, although Mule Musiq issued Comfort Zone (2017) and Hydrate (2019), while Emotional Intelligence (2019), featuring collaborations with jazz musicians like Nathan Haines and Joe Armon-Jones, was released by Neroli. Chaos in the CBD and Sable released the dub-influenced Te Puke Thunder in 2021. This was followed by the duo's Brainstorm and Intimate Fantasy (2022). Fabric Presents Chaos in the CBD, an official mix for the famed London club, appeared in 2023, including the duo's original track "Higher Elevation." ~ Liam Martin & Paul Simpson
