Still Going are Olivier "Liv" Spencer and Eric "Dunks" Duncan.

Liv and Eric met many years ago at the now infamous Rui's Loft in lower Manhattan where Eric spun now-legendary late night parties as one half of the New York DJ duo Rub-N-Tug. In the time since, Eric’s  Rub N Tug project  began to take off, DJ-ing around  the world,  releasing mix  CD’s on Eskimo, Fabric and  aNYthing  Records and remixes for LCD Soundsystem, Coldplay, Roxy Music and the Beastie Boys. Liv also was DJ-ing extensively, and he released singles and remixes under several aliases  on labels  such  as Fine,  Kitsune,  Rong,  C & S,  Poker Flat  and Ibadan.  He also began to engineer and  provide  additional programing on numerous  Rub'n'Tug  releases and remixes, further cementing  the relationship.

It was only natural that Dunks and Liv would begin working more closely  together.  This came about  on  the   "How & Why" single for Rong Music. From there, the two produced the blissful  "Still Going Theme" . On the night it was mixed down, James Murphy was spinning at the DFA Records Holiday Party of 2006 near by. James liked the mix so  much he played it right away to a roomful of rabid  fans who  cheered for  it on the spot.  Eric &  Liv ,  beyond  enthused,  headed back to the studio soon after to record the flipside for the future DFA release, the equally anthemic  “On And On”.

Even before its commercial release,  "Still Going Theme" was featured in Prins Thomas’ Essential Mix for the BBC’s Radio 1. The song has also been included on James Murphy and Pat Mahoney’s (LCD Soundsystem) Fabric Live mix. “Still Going Theme” has claimed to be the biggest selling 12” on DFA so far.
