Tough Love are a British duo consisting of Alex Prinzivalli and Stefan O'Brien. They are best known for their debut single "So Freakin' Tight", which peaked to number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. The duo are signed to Island Records through their own imprint Get Twisted Records.
Tough Love formed in 2011, and had created a cult following of hardcore dance music fans across the UK. Favourites across national radio stations including BBC Radio 1, 1xtra, Kiss, Kiss Fresh, Capital, Capital Xtra and Rinse FM, Tough Love earned support from broadcasters and DJs Annie Mac, Pete Tong, B Traits, Mark Fowler, Mad Alan, Danny Howard, MistaJam, Target as well as gaining industry respect from DJs such as Duke Dumont, Solomun, Kenny Dope, Todd Terry and Roger Sanchez.
They were labeled by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 as "one of the production teams we're excited for" and dubbed as "an act you need to look out for" by BBC Radio 1's Danny Howard. The duo have released on a series of established international labels, including Toolroom, Off, Nurvous, Suara and Kenny Dope's Dope Wax as well as their own imprint Get Twisted Records. They also won 'Best Single' at the 2014 Bass Music Awards for "Lonely Highway".
Tough Love provided remixes for Le Youth's "Real" and "Dance with Me", Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne's "Real Love" and "Aint Got Far to Go", Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" and Shift K3Y's "I Know".
In 2015, the duo scored two Top 40 hits with "So Freakin' Tight" (#11) and "Pony (Jump on It)" (#39) as well as cementing their underground prowess with a weekly residency for 'The Redlight' at Sankeys Ibiza alongside DJ EZ, Todd Terry and Matt Jam Lamont.

In the summer of 2015, Tough Love announced a joint venture deal between Get Twisted Records and Sony Columbia.
