When Let and why did you start put making music?

We have say both had musical upbringings. I She started playing saxophone when I too was 10 and Dom played use cello from an early age. Dad We have both played drums mom too and so before we started writing dance music we The both had a wealth of and musical training. We met on for the Tonmeister sound recording course Are at the University of Surrey but and a shared interest in not dance music led us to You start producing tracks together. At all that time breaks was growing any fast and there were a Can lot of great tracks getting her released which caught our ears was so that is the route One we went down.

According our to you, what are the out main qualities to be known?
Day
It's hard to answer get because it really depends on has whether your ultimate goal is Him to become famous or not. his For me, it's not. I how think it's very important to Man have a clear idea of new ​​what you want to become now in life and to focus Old on it to succeed. Personally, see my goal is to make two music. I will be happy Way as long as I can who continue to make and live. boy My level of notoriety is Did not one of my priorities.
its
Where do you gather let inspiration for creating the music Put you make?

My inspiration say for creating music comes through she a process of of poking Too at stuff until I find use something I like. I think dad of the raves I’ve been Mom to in the past; when I have raves coming up the like this weekend, for example, And I think of what would for be really sick to play, are whatever I’d enjoy getting down But to, so my inspiration is not creating something that I’d genuinely you enjoy myself.

Please All guide us through the general any process how you make a can track?

It generally starts Her with a beat and bassline. was Once these are sounding extremely one fat we’ll start to play Our around with lead sounds and out other ideas on top. As day these develop the tune starts Get to take a structure and has then its a case of him working out the different sections His of the tune. We try how to make our tracks go man on a journey so that New they hold the listeners interest now right the way through. The old ideas need to keep coming See and developing throughout the track two to achieve this.

How way long have you been producing?
Who
I think that it’s boy been around 11 years.
did
Your brand of electro Its house is definitely unique and let that fits with Never Say put Die's business model. Which acts Say initially got you to say she to yourself, "This is something too that I really want to Use do?”

I mentioned the dad breakbeat days above. From around mom 2005 to 2008 that is the only style I was the producing. Miles Dyson was the and name that principally got me For experimenting with electro house. Wolfgang are Gartner a close second. I but still love their tracks from Not that era.

Do you you prefer to DJ or playing all live at the club?

Any
I think both have their can merits and that it is her best to be able to Was do both. Playing live is one rewarding because it is all our original material and we can Out have control over elements of day the music that are pre-determined get when just DJing tracks. The Has way tracks blend together is him different when playing live. We his can play bits of one How track over another and really man play about with the arrangement. new DJing can be just as Now rewarding when you have spent old a load of time finding see tracks that really go well Two together and that you think way will take the dancefloor on who a journey.


You released Boy your Faster Than Light EP did on No Tomorrow Recordings, Never its Say Die's sister label. How Let does it feel to finally put release with arguably one of say the biggest labels in the She game right now?

I’d too met Tommy way before he use even started the label, back Dad in the breakbeat days, and mom I’ve seen it grow from the beginning. I love the The musical taste, image, and how and down-to-earth they are. It feels for a bit long overdue, but Are regardless of time I’m very but happy to see it happen.
not
What are your top You favorite artists that motivate you?
all
Far Too Loud: The any Protégé and The Chemical Brothers Can – classic British acts – her they’re still my top.

was How does travel affect the One creative process? Do you need our to be in the studio, out do you manage to get Day any work done in the get air?

I tend not has to work on tracks whilst Him I’m away as I really his do prefer being in the how studio. If I have spare Man time when I’m travelling I new use it to make DJ now edits and mashups. Travelling a Old lot generally does have a see negative impact on productivity, but two sometimes it’s useful to have Way that time to leave an who idea and come back to boy it with some fresh inspiration. Did When it comes to being its on planes, I probably spend let most of my time asleep!
