The core four-piece of the group were known as the Chatto Quartet, a classically trained string quartet that performed J.S. Bach and cited Jacqueline du Pré as an influence, but their post-show, wind-down music often consisted of garage, two-step, Craig David, and Arcade Fire tracks. The quartet members were aware of both producer Jon Wandeck and MC Ssegamic through the duo's work in photography, and when Wandeck suggested they play on one of his house music cuts, Clean Bandit were born. With MC Ssegamic on the mike, they released the classical-meets-house-meets-hip-hop-meets-heartbreak song "Telephone Banking" in the summer of 2011. Their Dance Armstrong mixtape followed in 2012, while 2013 saw the release of their Mozart's House EP. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): Clean Bandit 2013 17 Mozart's House -1- 2013 43 Dust Clears -2- 2014 01 Rather Be (Clean Bandit Feat.

April 20, 201412 yr Rather Be out of the Top 10. :cry: Oh well it's had it's time. Will probably stay Top 40 for some time yet. :)
April 20, 201412 yr Meh, I prefer a Walnut Whip to a German Whip. Hmm, I wonder whether I have written lots of prose praising this :unsure:
April 20, 201412 yr Kind of glad this is finally out, it has definitely had it's time in my opinion. Doesn't sound as fresh as it did week 1
April 20, 201412 yr When I heard Mozart's House for the first time, I would have laughed at you if you'd suggested they'd have a near 1 million-selling single within a year. Them boys (and girls) have done well.
April 20, 201412 yr I usually begin to despise songs that stick around the top of the chart this long, but I can't even bring myself to dislike 'Rather Be'. :wub: Shame 'Extraordinary' doesn't look set to do much.
April 20, 201412 yr When I heard Mozart's House for the first time, I would have laughed at you if you'd suggested they'd have a near 1 million-selling single within a year. Them boys (and girls) have done well. I still prefer Mozart's House but it's great to see them doing so well.
April 20, 201412 yr YAY Iggy has made Top 10 for a second week! Pleased Elyar Fox didn't make Top 10, he is like the male Pixie Lott.
April 20, 201412 yr Elyar Fox missing the top 10 :D First time listening to this in full, I have heard the chorus before though and it's TERRIBLE.
