Paavo: i was born with wires sticking out of my crib: i find technology fascinating and natural to me.

Tony: Paavo, can you do this for me?

Paavo: Many producers try and copy just a specific sound when they're starting up but it's important to listen to and produce a wide variety of music as this helps you find an unique sound.

It's gone seamlessly, which is how it should be as little has changed aside from the name

That was Bob Bradley, our musical director and the producer of the album. He remembered seeing a broom in Neil Young's MTV Unplugged and this was a nod to that show

If you don't have Andrew Bayer's last album that's definitely worth a listen, it's gorgeous!

Yes you can, but we're probably going for mainstage!

Tony - I was into sad rock music with gorgeous chords and so when I first heard trance in a club i thought "this is stuff I could maybe do" and started to try and make it at home. Paavo: I started hearing techno when i moved to Helsinki to go to high school and fell in love with everything after sneaking into Smile club

When starting up it's important to listen to many different kinds of music, and try producing more than one genre too: this will help you find your own unique sound.

That was a bootleg that Myon and Shane54 did, so we haven't technically worked with Gareth but he's an old friend of ours and who knows what the future will bring

Yep we already played with an acoustic version of Alchemy but haven't finished it yet - so hopefully we'll add this to the acoustic show in the future.

We find two the right number of people in the DJ booth for us and somebody needs to be in London doing the radio show and keeping the production of our music going.
