is the perfect name for the project of Eric Duncan and Olivier Spencer. The two veterans of New York’s nightlife have proved with their first release on DFA Records («Still Going Theme») that they are willing to keep New York on the clubbing map. Duncan is one half of disco duo Rub-N-Tug and releases edits as Dr. Dunks, Spencer was also known as Manthraxx and runs the project House Of House. Busy going, still!

Woke up to find Peter Murphy in my living room. Tried hard to play it cool. Bauhaus was huge for me growing up. Caught the show from stage left. Killer!
