Sofi Tukker are Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern, a New York DJ duo who got together in 2014 and set about proving that house music could come with guitars, grins and a whole lot of rhythm. Hawley-Weld sings and plays guitar, Halpern plays guitar too, and the combination turns the dance floor into something looser and weirder than the usual thump.
"Drinkee", from their 2016 EP Soft Animals, is hypnotic and sly, and it picked up a Grammy nomination at the 2017 Grammy Awards. Their album Treehouse followed in 2018 and brought "Best Friend", which played in an Apple ad when the company unveiled the iPhone X; in December 2018 Treehouse itself earned a Grammy nod for Best Dance/Electronic Album. "Purple Hat" came along in 2019, a bouncy, tongue-in-cheek groove that sits right alongside those two as the songs people know them for.
