One of the best things about being in a relationship is sharing experiences. And when one of those experiences includes playing music across the globe with the person you love, you know you've got it good.

Mutual support, admiration, enviable record collections and standout back to back sets make these power couples below some of our favourites.

Regular glimpses of these two on Instagram is enough to make even the coldest of hearts melt. Vynehall is a regular at Moxie's On Loop parties and NTS Radio shows, whilst Moxie supports his releases in a lot of her mixes. You only have to watch the clips of their recent B2B boat party set at Love International to get an idea of how much fun they have behind the decks together.

Eris Drew and Maya Bouldry-Morrison aka Octo Octa initially met when Eris was the hospitality runner for Chicago's Smartbar, where Maya was playing that evening.

Their relationship was solidified through a joint passion for healing power of the dancefloor. They've since launched their label and party series T4T LUV NRG which is inspired by the pair's love of "DJ culture, nature, magic and each other" whilst highlighting trans for trans partnerships.
