The brothers began working on music at the age of 12, focusing on hip-hop and creating beats for local artists such as Yukmouth. The name Hippie Sabotage was inspired by their fathers' initials H.S.[2] They initially started in the indie genre in 2005 and gradually entered the electronica genre. They continued to venture into creating hip-hop musical beats for Chicago artists like Alex Wiley and C Plus. They progressed into making electronic music, appearing at several music festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo Music Festival and Electric Zoo.
