Sofa Surfers have always held balance between hip-hop, dub, and backbeat. Their individual sense of sound and style has always set them apart and helped them stand out. Their choices, from multimedia stage presentations to outlandish fashions have made them a favorite in live performance. Never a group to shy away from conflict, Sofa Surfers are always willing to express their opinion through their music and often build political messages into their tracks, albums and shows. The Sofa Surfers are a dream for those who like their electronica dark, intelligent, European, and firmly rooted in hip-hop.

Formed in Austria in 1996, Sofa Surfers wasted no time in making themselves known. In 1997, they released their first album, Sofa Rockers on Klein Records, to overwhelming interest and enthusiasm. They rode the resulting wave and quickly followed it up with their LP debut, Transit, which was also an instant success. Three years later, Sofa Surfers released their second LP, Cargo. The album proved to be a departure from their earlier sound, yet garnered attention and critical acclaim none the less. In 2001, they released their third LP, Encounters, a hip-hop flavored album that addressed the political intolerance that had been steadily growing in their home country of Austria.
