We are here to make big tunes, create moments and build a platform to release renegade art in whatever way we see fit
We are CLIQUES. A group with heavy beats, and the freedom to make whatever the fuck we want.
Rap sits at the heart of what we do, with drum & bass, electronic music and big hooks running through its veins. We have worked with some of the best artists in multiple scenes, been supported by the worlds biggest artists and whatever we do, its always focused on creating Renegade Art.
In 2020 when we started, we decided to initially stay anonymous clad using balaclavas, boiler suits and gold skulls. No one knew who we were or where we had come from which was exactly the way we wanted it.
In November of that year, the first EP in the now infamous series " Cliques Got Dubs" was released which came out on our own label CCA. This series was created with the intent of releasing music that showcased full 360 sounds and allowed us not to be pigeonholed into one specific sound.

The impact of these releases on the scene was immediate and quickly gained momentum, leading to opportunities for remixing and collaborating with some huge names and labels across drum & bass and rap music.
We’ve been supported by Hybrid Minds, Andy C, Pendulum, Friction, London Elektricity, The Prototypes, Wu Tang Clan, Cypress Hill and many others.
Our music also received national daytime radio support from Radio One, Kiss Fm and George Fm.
We've produced sing along and throw up your gun fingers bangers and raw rap music that have featured legendary vocalists such as Grim Sickers, Mic Righteous, R.A The Rugged Man, Marianna Ray, Celph Titled and many more.
“In 2023, we decided to reveal more about ourselves as we continued to evolve and grow as CLIQUES.”
The group members are Phil (aka Specimen A) and Paul.
Phil has released scene anthems in DNB, dubstep, breaks, and house remixing artists such as Fatboy Slim, Friction, Excision, and many more. Paul's history is more vague, and that's the way he likes it.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
“No one knows if they’re genuinely new to the game or just an exceptionally well-kept secret.”
UKF
“With an emphasis on top-end production, this is a posse to keep a close eye on.”
Knowledge Mag
“I hate when music’s this good and the identity is hidden! Reveal yourselves CLIQUES!”
Danny Howard, Radio One
“WE HAVE A DEEP LOVE FOR MUSIC and take what we do SERIOUSLY BUT WE DO OUR UTMOST TO NOT JUST FOLLOW TRENDS FOR THE SAKE OF IT.”
This is much bigger than a music project for us and people should expect to see us delve into new areas soon.
Be prepared for curveballs, be prepared for wtf moments and be prepared for CLIQUES.
“it’s me behind the music”
“No matter what CLIQUES say, it’s me behind the music. You can believe what you want, but it’s me Barry Enders aka Brappy Evans creating these bangers and I am an anthem making machine. No stopping until I’ve made a classic. The end.”
