Under the cover of darkness 15-year-old best friends Nadia Dahlawi and Sara Jade would run away from their boarding school to see their favourite bands play rowdy sets in London bars. Not content as spectators, during their half-term break in 2003 they tried their hand at their first club night – arranging an impressive line-up including Art Brut and Les Incompetents.

A year later their label Young & Lost was born. Since then, the duo have become London”s indie scene sweethearts, casino online and can claim credit for putting out 7 inch singles from bands such as Golden Silvers, Noah and the Whale and Good Shoes, as well as DJing and promoting their own nights with acts like The XX and Laura Marling.

Now, aged 25, the Young & Lost girls have stepped away from spinning their golden empire for long enough to release a compilation, celebrating the release of fifty singles in five whirligig years. From the long-gone sound of Larrikin Love, to new flamboyant crooner Othello Woolf and the Bombay Bicycle Club – this is a fairytale chronicle of the journey of two clever musical madams. A story to be continued.
