Crookers
are an Italian DJ/production duo (Bot and Phra) who have worked together since 2003. When the two artists met, both were trying to branch out of their genre and explore dance music. Their first collaboration worked. Phra said "It felt natural to team up, seeing that we had the same musical tastes … which isn’t that easy here in Milan".. [1]

Biography
Bot took up the guitar at an early age, later moving onto synths, turntables and sequencers. Phra had already started DJing by age 11, when he was introduced to the Italian hip hop scene.
[2]
After having released two EPs earlier in
2008 (“Knobbers” and “Mad Kidz”, both exclusively containing original tracks), they are currently working on their first album, which is due for late
2009.
Their remix of Kid Cudi's Day'N'Nite entered the
UK singles chart at number 2 and is featured on the game Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

Crookers work with producer/remixers Sketch Iz Dead on many of their tracks.
