Q&A:

Sum up this mix in 10 words…

Bangers + Bangers + dubs = Double Banging MIX

What’s your personal favourite track on it?

One of the dubs is Kravitz remix of our next single Strawberries, this is probs our fav track at the moment, we can’t wait to get this out there hopefully in September, but keep an eye out for it a few big DJs have a copy of it already!

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?

We have used Serato for this mix, Kris is the best DJ out of us all and it has allowed him to flex some skills adding some extra specials flare to the mix, that along with jazzy soulful, jungly vibe combined with some harder edged old school and new school flavours it has little something for everyone. It also has my new favourite double drop Couple Guinness and Gin and Juice Refix by DR Meaker that on slaps hard!!

Tell us about your next EP?

We are about to drop Amplified Nostalgia on 18^th Aug, the last single Strawberries is out 4^th Aug and on the EP there is bonus track that is bit different from the rest it is homage to electro and has Lottie Jones on the vocals, the EP also contains remixes from Lateral and two emerging producers RETINAZ and Maxumuss who we found at dbs music in Bristol, we all do some teaching there and it great place to find amazing talent. We were really pleased to be able to give them a little opportunity and share their tunes. The EP has been voyage into creating an old school sound with new school production, with each track representing one of steps in genre from rave to breakbeat to jungle and hardcore.

What have you got coming up?

So we have the EP out 18^th Aug! Then we have the Kravitz remix of Strawberries out in September, then we have more new music to see us through the rest of the year, we are currently working some new vocalists including Jasmine Knight, Lottie Jones and Yemi Bolatiwa and looking to focus our sound a bit more for the next set of releases. We really want to get out and DJ some more, we have been focusing on the music but it now time to get out and about so promoters please do hit us up!!

When was the last time you actually raved?

So between us we get out and about quite a bit, Kris is regularly DJing at The Shakespeare in Totterdown Bristol, that is more of mixed genre party not so much of the DnB vibe, but still fulfils the raving quota! Bruce was last out at Glastonbury and Jon works in Tour Management and show production, so is fortunate to be at raves and events most weekends. He runs the Glade Dome at Glastonbury, where he did enough raving for the year! This year they had DnB heavy line up on the Thursday, he hosted the likes of Charlie Tee, Randall, Bou and Axel Boy! He also went on a little jolly to Secret Garden Party a few weeks ago where his highlights were raving to Fabio and Grooverider and the Outlook Orchestra, Leftfield and Underworld

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?

Yes!! Thank you for the support, we get so much nice feedback on the music, we like to produce a bit of an eclectic mixture of styles, I think it comes from the years of different influences, that does mean we don’t always fit in the box, but we are happy to be a bit different and people always seem to appreciate the quality of the production and that pleases us, so thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy the music we have coming out soon!!
