about
Half Nelson are a Tech/House duo from Sydney. They found their humble beginnings when members Fin McAvoy and Nikos Haropolous-Smallman met in their first year at James Morrison Academy of Music in 2016. Fast-forward a few months and the two are living together, listening to Jamiroquai and producing electronic music between classes.
The duo enjoy soulful harmony and melody, like the music of Chet Baker and John Coltrane, but also find musical inspiration elsewhere, from the likes of Frits Wentink, Demarkus Lewis, Byron the Aquarius, and Detroit Swindle. All of these unique influences shine through in their own music; rhythmic and lush, it plays on the ear like a cool breeze in the heat of summer.
One day, they were listening to their music, looked at each other and said "Let's release this". A month later, 'Out Of Nowhere' graced us - seemingly, out of nowhere. Since then they have performed Dj sets at such venues as the Beach Road Hotel in Bondi and at Bodega Collective's Block Party at The Lord Gladstone, all while continually searching for inspiration and honing their craft.
Half Nelson are not to be missed.
