Los Angeles based DJ-Producers HAMX and DJ Roueche were connected by a mutual DJ friend in 2008 and proceeded to put out an annual mixtape together starting the following year.  After the release of their H2electrO mixtape in 2011, they changed their pace from mixtapes to releasing an EP of originally produced material. August 2012, almost exactly a year after their last mixtape, The Suicide Doors, a reference to the late 60s Lincoln Continental, were born with their self-titled EP.

The following year, they executive produced the EP Geeks Freaks and Weirdos, with the standout single, “Nino Brown” by Chris Shaw.  As their production grew, record labels including Sony, Interscope, Warner Brothers and RCA sought out The Suicide Doors to remix songs for Alicia Keys, Imagine Dragons, Hot Chelle Ray and Ivy Levan, to name a few. 

2015 The Suicide Doors followed up their debut EP along with a couple singles and their Kings & Aces EP. 2016, HAMX and Roueche had to take a step back from producing, but not for the typical reasons a group “takes a break”. With both of their individual DJ careers blossoming, Roueche became the official DJ for the famed Los Angeles Lakers and they each went to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to play the 2016 Summer Olympics. 

Since the creation of The Suicide Doors, they saw an opportunity not just to be producers, but also perform live.  Being DJs first, performing in front of crowds was already second nature, but they wanted their shows to add more of a live band vibe. So, they incorporated a conga drummer, saxophonist and/or violinist to seamlessly join them on stage while also blending in finger drumming and turntablism to create a unique live experience.

After a whirlwind 2016, they settled back into the studio, really crafting their sound and compiling songs. With the release of their latest singles, “Big Tings”, “Crossed the Line” and “Champagne Ready”, the “Living Dreams EP” and the official remix of MKTO’s “Consider Me Yours” with plenty of new music always just around the corner.
