7 9 Issue 62 / 2014 GUESTLIST guestlist.net WITH YOUR OWN PRO- DUCTION, WERE DO YOU GET YOUR INSPIRATION FROM? Well I suppose Matt and me have fairly sort of musical backgrounds. We grew up listening to lots of Drum and Bass, Jungle, Garage with a lot of grime as well. Matt was more into Hip-hop so I think that's we are different I sup- pose. We been getting into house music more recently and throwing it in all together. SO WHEN DID THAT START TO COME TOGETH- ER FOR YOU GUYS, AS YOU HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC? We have been working together fairly recently, so the projects are fairly new. Its feels like it all kicked off over a year ago and it was exciting and fresh for us. We work well in the studio together, as Gorgon City was just meant to be a one off col- laboration as we both had our separate solo projects going on back, but when we got into thestudio, it went so well that we just said, "lets do another one", so we thought of a new name for it and it rolled on from there. SO WHAT ABOUT OTHER ARTISTS OR DJ'S IN THE SCENE, WHO WOULD YOU, GIVE PROPS TOO? We love obviously all the people on Black Butter records, Kidnap Kid, Love Clean Bandit, I think their so good and also their videos which is so addictive to watch. They're really original and fresh and there is nothing else like it at the moment. They have that bittersweetvibe to it as well, they strings and the electronica is so good. Were also big fans of other people like Dusky, who are good friends with Matt who his known for years so we see them a lot out and about. There's so much good music about. SO GOING FROM THAT WHAT WOULD BE YOUR IDEAL COLLABORATION? Well we are quite lucky as we get to work with some talented people, we worked with Yasmin and doing a track with MNEK as well. His just so talented. We did that a while ago and its only just recently just been released. We were really excited about that. SO OUT OFF ALL THAT, IF YOU HAD TO PICK AN ALL TIME FAVORITE WHO WOULD IT BE? Well, out of everything I think it would have to be someone like Radio- head, my family would listen to a lot of them when I was growing up, also Massive Attack, maybe Burial as well as there is something about his music that I just love. SO DO YOU COME FROM QUITE A MUSICAL FAMILY THEN? Yes my mum and dad are so into music, old stuff and new stuff, they are always on it. They are old rockers and still love it. WHAT YOU BEEN UP TO RECENTLY THEN? Yeah we are working on new music all the time, there are so many recording sessions with different great vocal- ists that we can use on an album. MNEK was big and then another collaboration with Joel Compass which we re- ally love. His voice is just crazy and so unique. SO WHAT WAS YOUR FA- VORITE MOMENT OF LAST SUMMER FOR YOU THEN? Well, we played in Circus in Liverpool and that was amazing, for a club night it had an almost had a Ibiza feel, really "housey" and we played stuff we don't get a chance too that often. The 1st time at Amnesia that was pretty cool too. SO IF YOU HAD TO FILL A SWIMMING POOL WITH ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Well that's an inter- esting question, But I would fill it with rum. That could be pretty dangerous actually but it might work. Or what about Nando's medium Peri-Peri sauce? Soak that into my skin! Well if you ever do that make we'll make sure that the Guestlist will be there to see it happen, thanks for talking to us.
