N-Joi InterviewSo what makes N-joi's music stand out from everyone else's? Well we don't know if it does stand out. When we write it we like it, but you become very self critical, we haven't made a tune that we are really proud of. You are always trying to get better. Obviously we are pleased that it is sold and so on, but at the end of the day we can't say to anybody, "yeh, that was a brilliant track". |

How does it feel to appear in front of 7,000 people? Sometimes there are a bit of nerves there, depending on how its going prior to us going on stage. A technical guy will go out on stage and if he comes back and says there is a problem, then we start to worry, but after you have done around 1000 gigs all over the country, it does feel like you are just working. Who is it that sings for you, is it Saffron? Yeh, she's been with us since the beginning, she's a professional who has been in Starlight Express in the West End/ She sang with Anthem and id a great asset to the show, we will be working on some more material together. The dancers that you have, do you take them everywhere you go? The guy with the long hair, Matt, he followed our early show, he came back stage once and he knew all about our music and basically knew all about the scene and so on. We thought that he was really switched on, then when were playing he used to dance in front of us, he was rally good. After a few shows he jumped on stage with us and he hasn't got off since, he just comes everywhere with us. The other guy, his name is Zen, he joined us about a year ago, and he used to dance for Man Machine. We say him in Ireland and thought he was really good. We rang him up and he was interested, he has been with us ever since. Do you think the music scene is too divided? Without a doubt, yeh. You have too many categories to choose from, a lot of the magazines will not touch the Hardcore, Breakbeat whatever and they have helped to categorise it really. The thing is that it all stemmed from House Music, it was all under on roof, and you had a good bit of variety. Do you think the scene has been pushed too commercial? I don't think the scene has got too commercial, but some records have. People seem to judge the scene from the representation of one record, it's not necessarily what the whole scene is about. I mean you could hardly call Jungle commercial, so it depends on the music we are talking about.
What's your definition of too commercial then? 2 Unlimited! Someone making music, having an act and exploiting themselves. The same sort of style following each successful track, that's just cashing in - there's a lot of greedy people out there and all they're in it for is money. I hope a lot of people out there believe in the music. |
