The story of GOBI begins in west Texas, on the borderland of El Paso and Juarez, where Justin Dillon and Chuco Phil first met. The two would venture across the border every weekend spending countless nights in the clubs and discotecas on "The Strip" in Ciudad Juarez. There the thriving grooves and uptempo beats would take them on many sleepless nights, and instill an unstoppable curiosity and desire to create their unique and iconic breed of electronic dance music IDR (Indie-Dance-Rap). Now based out of Austin, TX, GOBI has gained the reputation for turning any room into a jungle of lights and beats.


Their IDR sound and catchy hooks has landed them at Nocturnal Fest, Neon Desert Music Fest, Bacardi+ Fest, and the 2012 Pachanga Music Festival.

GOBI has shared the stage and opened for acts ranging from: The Cool Kids and Chiddy Bang, to Dj's such as MSTRKRFT, Treasure Fingers, Z- Trip, Paper Diamond, and new dance groups Big Gigantic, Future Rock, and Nobody Beats the Drum.


The band recently released their debut LP "Gold On Black Ice", available on iTunes and Spotify now.

GOBI is Chuco Phil, Justin Dillon and Matt Dunn.
