Backyard Bangers

Eric Moss (a NY native) and Josh Kouzomis aka The Troublemaker (from Los Angeles) both began their music careers as college radio DJs - E.Moss at WCBN (University of Michigan) in Ann Arbor, MI, and Troublemaker at ACRN (Ohio University) in Athens, OH. After several years of trading their music as cross-country music industry buddies, E.Moss moved west and the duo was formed. Their debut track was called Backyard Banger, a collaboration with renowned culture-clashing turntablist DJ Z-Trip (who at the time lived across the street from them) on the 2002 compilation Various - Constant Elevation.
