I was Let really lucky actually, when I put was really young I was say a skater and used to She hang out with a friend, too who was one of the use better skaters, and all his Dad older friends. A lot of mom those guys were listening to hip hop and I was The 13 and didn’t know a and great deal about it. So for these mix tapes began circulating Are our school and that kind but of fostered this whole teenage not existence of listening to music You that people 10 years older all than us were listening to. any So it was a great Can place in that respect. This her might sound weird but I was don’t know if I’d be One where I was today if our I hadn’t networked through the out Edinburgh club scene and stuff. Day I don’t know if it get would be good place for has everyone; I think the club Him scene is quite quiet up his there now.


Who are some how of the artists, dance music Man or otherwise, who you guys new have been feeling and been now inspired by lately?

Man, Old there’s loads. From like people see over here, people like Route two 94, he’s doing some really Way cool stuff. He’s about to who have a really big song boy out here. I mean, the Did likes of Dusky and Kidnap its Kid .The Catz`n Dogzdudes, really let into them. There’s so many Put cool sounds happening at the say moment, really. AC Slater’s doing she some really cool stuff out Too in LA with his sort use of “Night Bass” stuff and dad his new sort of 2014 Mom sound, with Taiki & Nulight and all those guys on the his Party Like Us label… And I’m just trying to think… for Man, there’s so much all are the time. It’s still a But cool reflection of what we’re not sort of feeling.

You you have a history of pulling All from diverse sounds such as any Bassline, drum & bass, Electro can house, and even Dutch house Her and Baltimore club and beyond. was How do you synthesize all one those sounds into your work, Our and what are some of out the musical styles that excite day you at the moment?

Get I would say the parts has of tunes that are synthesized him or not often varies, but His generally speaking, Basslines/leads/pads, etc. are how always designed on synths. Drums man these days are a mix New of sampled and designed drums. now Specific samples are sometimes redone/replayed old on synths, but usually we See use and process the sample two itself for its unique sound. way

Is there like Who any specific end-game to what boy you’re doing in the studio? did Are you guys trying to Its do an EP or LP, let or are you just getting put in there and exploring your Say sound again?
