Bob Moses is a Canadian electronic duo based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Formed in New York City, the band consists of Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance (son of Jim Vallance). A remix of their song "Tearing Me Up" by RAC won a Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical. History Formation Howie and Vallance attended the same middle school and high school in Vancouver but were merely acquaintances, despite enjoying similar tastes in music. They had both dabbled into the sounds of California punk, Northwest grunge, and minimalist electronic but never together. After high school, Vallance moved to New York City, where he worked for a record engineering company for Dutch artist Matthew Dekay on Lee Burridge's All Day I Dream imprint. He began his career making trance and progressive house music, with early success at age 18 with releases on Ultra Records and remixes for Sia and her record "Buttons" alongside Chris Lake and Markus Schulz. After working for Dekay, Vallance began writing and engineering for Get Physical's co-founder and one-half of M.A.N.D.Y., Philipp Jung. Howie continued singing and after a year at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, he also moved to New York. He was originally in the rock band Coalition. Vallance and Howie reunited in a Lowe's hardware store parking lot. They started working on music in Howie's apartment, then shared a flat and began working on music as a duo. They helped write a vocal hook for one of the songs that Jung was working on, and experimented with different sounds, using Howie's background in rock music and Vallance's in trance music. After some studio time, the duo showed the Scissor & Thread crew, specifically Francis Harris and Anthony Collins, what they had been working on. Harris suggested the name "Bob Moses" after New York urban planner Robert Moses, and their debut EP, Hands to Hold, debuted on that label in October 2012. Soon after the release of this first EP, they went on to deliver a second, Far from the Tree, before signing to Domino Records in March 2014. Days Gone By (2015–2017) Bob Moses' debut album, Days Gone By, was released on September 18, 2015. "Tearing Me Up" became the most prominent song on the album, earning Grammy Award nominations for best dance recording and best remixed recording, non-classical. It went on to win the latter award for remixer RAC. Vallance said
