Oxford, England

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs is the solo project of Orlando Higginbottom, an Oxford-bred twentysomething whose hummable dance music combines electro-pop, Euro-house, and 2-step beats. His All in One Sixty Dancehalls EP debuted in 2009 on Greco-Roman (an offshoot of a like-named collective that includes Hot Chip's Joe Goddard), and, in June of 2010, Dinosaur's follow-up All in Two Sixty Dancehalls EP featured "Garden," a breakout duet that caught the ear of Annie Mac at BBC's Radio 1. Remix work followed for the likes of Wafa, Tinashé, and Crystal Fighters as a full-length album was prepared for release. In spring of 2012, Casablanca Records released Trouble. ~ Jason Lymangrover
