The Tidy Boys is a UK-based hard dance music duo formed of Andy Pickles and Amadeus Mozart. They are known for creating the Tidy Trax record label, and their hard house DJ and production work.
Career
The Rotherham-based Andy Pickles and Amadeus Mozart founded the Tidy Trax record label in 1995.[1][2][3] The first release for the label was the track "U Found Out" by the Handbaggers, the alternate moniker for Pickles and Mozart, which reached #55 in the UK singles chart.[4][5] Some years later in March 1999 the duo came together under the Tidy Boys name, and played their first DJ set together.[6] The Tidy Boys went on to perform at live events such as the Tidy Weekender, Escape into the Park, and Creamfields.[7][8][9]
The Tidy Boys have released a number of hard house compilation mix albums, some of which have achieved chart success, such as Hard House Euphoria mixed with Lisa Pin-Up which peaked at #12 in the UK Compilation Chart in 2001.[10] They have performed two BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix sessions, the first in 2004 alongside Judge Jules and Lee Haslam, and the second in October 2005 performing with Amber D live from the Tidy Weekender.[11][12] They were featured again on BBC Radio 1 in 2010, performing on the Kutski show.[13] The duo has received attention from the music press - with DMC World calling the Tidy Boys "iconic".[7]
