One of the best mixes on the planet is Two Friends’ Big Bootie Mix. The mix series, which boasts 22 different volumes, is heard in gyms, clubs, parties, restaurants, and more. If you’re unaware of the series, you need to listen to any of the 22 volumes currently on youtube, Spotify, Apple Music, and Soundcloud.

Eli Sones and Matthew Halper, the masterminds behind the DJ duo Two Friends and “Big Bootie Mix,” are returning to NOLA early next year for their Metro debut. 

The “Big Bootie Mix” series playfully matches modern dance music with old contemporary hits and unreleased edits. The series has amassed millions of streams across YouTube and SoundCloud per installment, and the Big Bootie Mix series has become the soundtrack to many a good night out across 10 years of regular releases. 


As the popularity of the series grows, Two Friends launched their very own two-day Big Bootie Land festival this past October, debuting Big Bootie mix volume 22.  The festival was billed as the first-ever in-person concert premiere of their Big Bootie Mix. 

Along with their killer Big Bootie Mixes, Two Friends exploded onto the global dance music landscape years ago with their viral remixes of The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside,” and Blink 182’s “I Miss You.”

Since their arrival, Eli & Mathew have gone on to produce dozens of singles and EPs, racking up millions of plays across all the major streaming platforms. Their style emulates a melting pot of different elements and influences: From dance music, pop, or even alternative rock or hip-hop. 

Recently Two Friends have self-described their music as “songs that are fun and get you dancing and moving, but also hopefully resonate with you on a more emotional level at the same time…”

Metro Debut & Return To The Big Easy

While Two Friends has played some of the more iconic dance venues across the country, this will be their first visit to NOLA in over two years. The duo headlined Republic’s SUN YA BUNZ series in the summer of 2021. SUN YA BUNZ was Republic’s summer concert series at White Sands Beach Volleyball Complex.
