How long ago did you start DJ’ing?
We first started about 5 years ago. It wasn’t intentional to become good, we always used to collect records and we use to DJ just for fun.

When did you realise you had potential at DJ’ing?
It must have been in about the last 3 years. It all started when we played for Pirate Radio Stations. We bought decks to cater for the records we were buying. Then we decided to make use of our records and our mixing abilities to progress.

Did working on the Pirate Radio Stations help your DJ’ing career a lot?
Yes, because going back 3 years ago there was a lot of smaller raves and the promoters needed the Pirate Radio’s more. So the promoters would come up to station and ask for a couple of DJ’s to play, still quite similar today. We then started to get our names known around and from there we decided to ask for work ourselves instead of going via the Radio Station Manager. Then we got a proper Manager, a guy called Tony, from Back to Back. He helped us get a lot of sets at raves, which gave us a lot more spare time during the week.

How do you think the ravescene has progressed in the last 2/3 years?
It’s totally different you can’t make any connections between then and now. That’s where people go wrong they say it’s not the same as before but it’s a totally new game now. People should concentrate on now because things are suffering at the moment. A lot of people criticise how it is at the moment, but you always get that, you can’t live in the past, you have to move on otherwise it gets stale.

Are you happy with the way the scene is at the moment?
Sort of, there’s good and bad points. People should build on the good one’s so the ravescene can get back to being really good. It worries us the way someone’s always saying you should play this or that. Everyone is trying to branch away from the so-called scene as it is at the moment, they are trying to change the music. People should be allowed to enjoy what they want to. We just play to the crowd, most of the DJ’s say the same but you have to actually listen to what they do play as the crowd opposed to one’s that play to themselves.

Do you think working together helps?
Yes, it helps a lot because one of us may be feeling a bit slack so the other can take over. Also because we work as a team we can feed off each other. The majority of our sets are good and to the best of our ability. The crowd gives us a right buzz as well. It doesn’t matter whether there’s 1000 or 7000 people in front of you, it still sends a shiver through us.

Do you think you will ever spilt up and go your own ways?
No, because there’s something there of being together and if we spilt up that would be gone. We’ve put so much more into our label and studio equipment that we can work together without actually being together, so there’s no reason for us to split.

When did you bring out your first record?
November 1991, it was called Exposure, we had some before that we did but they didn’t go on to vinyl because the timing wasn’t right to release them.

How have your records done so far?
Well, Summers Love which was originally meant to be a demo went really well. A few people heard the demo and suggested that we put it out, so we got 1500 copies done on White Label. From there we had a strong interest from some major labels, but now we have gone one better and set up our own label, called Artificial Insomnia Recordings. It’s only been running a few weeks but the first track to be released, Party Fun, has done really well already.

What have you got planned for the Record Label?
At the moment we are working on the vocal versions of Summer’s Love. Also we have had an interest from other artists to produce chewns on our label, so we are working with them to get their material out and give them a chance to prove themselves.

Are you going to concentrate more on the record side?
Yes, to certain extents we will concentrate more on the record side but we will still keep up the DJ side.

Do you have anything special planned other then working with the Record Label?
Yes, we are going to Washington in the USA to play at some raves in October. This will be our first visit out there, all set up courtesy of London Connection.
