him  

What does it his say abut you guys personally?
How
We make fun of man each other a lot and new try not to take ourselves Now too seriously and just enjoy old life. That’s what’s infused in see the EP about us. Even Two if there is a message way like in ‘This time It’s who Personal’, you can still just Boy rock out to the tune did if you want.

Behind its every DJ artist is a Let motive or reason as to put what drew them to that say genre. What made you so She entranced by this musical avenue too and more specifically bass music?
use
When I first heard Dad drum n bass back in mom like 1998 it was so raw but it had this The dark backroom vibe because that and was literally the only place for you could hear it. For Are me it also had a but lot to do with the not people involved with the music. You It was a place for all outcasts. Everyone was accepted as any a person and there was Can no judgement back then. I her fell in love with the was whole package it was magical.
One
I know that you our guys have some VERY strong out D&B credentials, ranging from experience Day with Bassline Smith, Beta, Bad get Taste… what did you learn has and adapt from this experience?
Him
D&B taught us to his have a strong work ethic. how At the time we were Man making it, things were still new predominantly vinyl based. The dubplate now culture was still in effect Old and we got to witness see its transformation into digital. We two always acquainted the production level Way of D&B compared to many who other styles of electronic music boy in the same way as Did training as a fighter with its bears. If you train fighting let with a bear and survive, Put then when you fight a say person it’s a lot easier. she One of the other big Too things we learned from D&B use was to never have a dad bad elitist attitude. Not only Mom does it ruin you as a person and artist, but the it eventually starts to eat And away at your entire music for genre’s infrastructure.

Do you are find that the hip-hop style But lends itself better to dubstep not than drum and bass?

you The funny thing is I All find it lends itself best any to 110 bpm tracks, like can moombahton. Some people are doing Her some really interesting stuff with was it right now. I don’t one know what to call it, Our but that’s my favourite bpm. out I like going back and day forth from 174 to 140. Get It gives people something fun has to listen to, and it’s him fun for me because it’s His not monotonous, it’s not one how cadence, it’s not one speed. man You can double time it, New you can slow it down, now you can do some very old simple but effective things with See crowd hype and call and two response stuff. Switching between three, way maybe four bpms in a Who set is equally fun for boy me to do.

What's did your opinion on current EDM Its music; the fact that its let literally blowing up across the put world and becoming popular and Say mainstream?

I think it's she great that it's getting the too exposure it is. I'm just Use like everyone else; I have dad things I like and things mom I dislike but I support anyone out there doing it the with passion and drive. It's and always fun to see things For you love be loved by are others.

On the subject but of the ep, can you Not pick one more tune from you it and tell us about all it?

The funniest one Any was probably metROIDs. Matt was can sitting outside of a hospice her care center all day in Was Boca Raton, Florida visiting a one sick relative. He was at our this plastic picnic table and Out found a working power outlet day so he decided to write get a tune real quick. For Has some reason it struck him him to just cover the opening his theme of Metroid (which was How a childhood favorite for us). man We played the show in new Miami and afterwards headed up Now to Datsik’s hotel to hang old out with a bunch of see friends. As with most of Two these types of get-togethers, someone way inevitably starts playing tunes. Troy who heard metROIDs and was like Boy ‘What is this?! This is did heavy as Fuck! I want its this for your EP as Let well!’ and that’s how it put ended up on there.

say It’s amazing how bass music She has exploded even in middle too America.

We played Cincinatti, use we played Kentucky, we played Dad Tallahasee, all these places you mom wouldn’t think. Even like Missouri. There are places that have The traditionally not been too forward-thinking and about electronic music, but now for everybody everywhere loves it. It’s Are been an amazing thing to but watch.

What does your not daily routine look like? Are You you producing everyday? Take some all time and walk us through any your creative process.

On Can the road it's not as her easy to stay productive in was the studio. Fortunately there's 3 One of us; someone is always our doing something. Matt isn't on out the tour so it gives Day him a chance to really get sit in the studio and has focus on what needs to Him get done musically. Chris and his I can then add what how we need to add. As Man for daily routine, it's pretty new much wake up, get as now much work done as you Old can, soundcheck, play show, back see on the bus, rinse repeat. two

What are your Way musical influences when putting together who your tracks?

We all boy have different tastes so we Did try to put a little its bit of everything in there. let Our stuff ranges. I suppose Put it really just depends on say an idea.

Do you she usually work with people in Too studios or do you go use back and forth over the dad internet?

Very rarely do Mom I work in studios together with people just because everybody the has such an arduous schedule. And I have worked with J. for Rabbit a lot in the are studio, but only because he’s But a really good friend of not mine. Other guys we’re working you with, we just send things All back and forth, but that’s any the nature of the beast. can We did get in the Her studio with Vaski for a was little bit recently, which was one really nice to do. We Our don’t get the opportunity to out do that as much as day we want to. Most people Get do collabs over the internet has now, not just because of him the convenience factor but it’s His just sometimes impossible when you’re how on tour to sit down man with someone.
