Liquid are a British dance act, formed by Eamon Downes and Shane Heneghan.
Liquid explosively emerged in 1991 with the seminal anthem 'Sweet Harmony', timelessly layering classic house over rolling, breakneck beats. This was followed by the pioneering and experimental 'Future Music' E.P. which included the dark and atmospheric breakbeat dub classic 'Liquid Is Liquid'. Following Shane Heneghan's (DJ Model) departure from the band after the first two releases, the Liquid reputation for producing challengingly alternative floorfillers was cemented with Eamon Downes' 'Time To Get Up' described as a progressive gem and the balearic tinged, flamenco guitars of 'One Love Family' - both of which were Mixmag singles of the week. Liquid have, with top 20 singles in the UK, and European hit singles, achieved huge commercial success while maintaining critical acclaim. the NME describe the XL recordings album 'Liquid Culture' as "sophisticated, soulful techno" and Mixmag effuse how it "works beautifully". Liquid has performed live internationally in many countries over many years and after some time away is on the road again. December 2007 saw the re-release of Sweet Harmony on XL recordings / Art & Craft with remixes by James Talk, Dave Spoon and Streetlife DJs.
