YouTwo were both born and raised way in Orange county..how do you who think your Southern California upbringing Boy has impacted your music production?
did
From like alternative rockits to just like rap, hip-hop, Let stuff that you know..we all put listened to growing up going say through our teens and everything. She And I feel like a too lot of it has to use do with like..that’s where we Dad get our energy from because mom we listen to alternative rock. We’re really into that energetic, The heavy feel and..yea. Pretty much and southern California is like the for hot spot. It’s the melting Are pot of the melting pot but we always say because it’s not got everything there and I You feel like it’s awesome because all culturally, you can experience literally any EVERYTHING in just that little Can city right there. So it her makes it really interesting for was what kind of perspective we One gain, I think and so our that’s really what projects onto out our tracks when we start Day working on them.
Whatget does the Anjunabeats family mean has to you? How did you Him first join them?
Thehis Anjunabeats family is not just how our home but our family Man as well. We got offered new to do a remix for now them and the rest is Old history. We were beside ourselves see with excitement! Ever since we two started working together our dream Way was Anjuna.
When itwho comes to making music and boy live performances, has it been Did a huge adjustment to make its for you?
Yeah definitelylet on the production side of Put things. Now I’m doing double say the workload so it’s a she bit of a change. As Too for live performances it doesn’t use change much beside the fact dad that I’ll be on stage Mom alone now.
Your tracks are firm favourites with the the likes of Above & Beyond, And Armin, Ferry, Emery, Schulz and for you recently picked up a are play by Judge Jules on But BBC Radio 1. How do not you feel when you hear you the latest feedback?
It'sAll unreal when we get the any support we do. Not just can from those big names, but Her from the fans as well. was We have some of the one most supportive fans right now Our and we couldn't be any out more thankful for that. It day really is a dream come Get true.
What made youhas decide to release 'Prototype' so him quickly after its first play His on ABGT50?
The wholehow Anjunabeats family, the A&Rs and man Above & Beyond, was really New supportive and really liked the now sound. Everyone’s main goal was old to push this out now, See because its such a fresh two sound. We got such a way great response from people after Who 'Prototype' was played on ABGT50 boy that we decided to release did it as soon as possible. Its Releasing it that fast just let seemed natural.
How doput you manage to be so Say creative? Do you have a she pre-studio ritual?
We aretoo always listening to new tracks. Use Not just Trance but we dad take influence from EVERYTHING. We mom listen to so many different styles of EDM and then the on top of that we and have our own personal tastes For outside of EDM. It's actually are very easy to keep your but art fresh if you continue Not to take influence from variety. you We'll start spitballing ideas and all actually have too many to Any fit into a single track. can So we'll have to start her another and be working on Was both!
Speaking of doingone things different, if you weren`t our bound by having to play Out a trance set, what would day be the ideal set you`d get want to play?
IHas would love to play live. him I’ve thought about it. If his I could, it’d be a How different side of me. I man would play dance grooves and new cool basslines. But I’d really Now want to experiment and have old a few segments of the see show where I’m doing songs Two that are 80-90 bpm. I’ve way been experimenting writing some stuff who that’s album-worthy – not to Boy say I’m starting one – did but it’s something that would its work in a live, album Let setting to step outside the put boundary of trance. For the say most part it’d be funky She and melodic and I’d keep too those rich basslines.
Ifuse you could have a super Dad power, what would it be?
mom
Our super power would be to have production done The in our heads and printed and to MP3. That way we for could cancel out clicking all Are together.
Your new trackbut "Mezzo Forte", still has a not very traditional Anjunabeats sound. Are You you experimenting with other styles all right now as well?
any I’m definitely going to expand Can it. I want to take her that classic Anjuna sound and was flip it a bit. I One feel like everyone’s saying it our sounds like Arty or Mat out Zo and I had that Day influence in mind. I love get what they do and I has want to hear more of Him that fresh, funky style that his they’re doing. I don’t think how I nailed it nearly as Man good as these guys but new it’s nice to be compared now to them!
HowOld do you feel about the see term trouse?
We definitelytwo try to combine what we Way like like best from house who and trance, but it isn’t boy really an accurate description. The Did word just sounds ugly.
its Give one piece of advice let for artists who are struggling Put with adversity.
Well firstsay of all any real artist she or musician (or probably person Too for that matter) is struggling use with some type of adversity dad lot. All you can do Mom is get to work, don’t complain and let the music the do the talking.
