split secs are alexandre mouracade & tk disko direct from los angeles, california. their name came out of discussion amongst friends about how anything can change in a split second and how much power and effect the smallest detail could have in any song. both fun loving long time djs and avid record collectors, they are putting their years of experience to work with numerous forthcoming releases on labels like on the prowl / nyc, smash hit music co., and much more to be announced very soon. their first ep is released on dj kaos imprint jolly jams out of berlin germany.
