Guns'n'Bombs is made up of Filip Nikolic aka Turbotito, a prolific musician whose past and present music projects include Ima Robot, Ludo X, Junior Senior, and Johnny Love, one of Chicago's most notorious party promoters and DJs. Filip Nikolic and Johnny Love first met when Johnny brought Filip to Chicago to DJ one of his infamous Opaque "Dirty Talk" parties. They soon bonded over mutual love of early rave, minimal techno, Chicago jack and acid tracks, and the Cybernetic Broadcasting System.
Following this encounter, they came to each other's cities to DJ back and forth over the next few months. Prior to Johnny becoming a fugitive due to his illegal loft parties becoming too popular and having to flee to LA, Filip played one of Johnny's last parties in Chicago. Soon after, Filip suggested they start a music project to produce their own brand of music like "the kind we played in Chicago at your parties," and Guns'n'Bombs was born.
