03Interview

Name, where are you from?
Eggy, James, Tom and Tommy. Manchester via the South.

Describe your style in three words?
Loud, scatty, fast.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Winston Surfshirt was the chillest gig you could still skank to.

If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
Little Dragon and The Prodigy. Would be the most gas night ever.

Which Subcultures have influenced you?
UKG, old school drum’n’bass and the Club Kid scene in the late '80s and '90s. Anything you wanna move to and everything that goes with it.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
An hour with Prince would be sick but terrifying.

Of all the venues you’ve been to, which is your favourite?
Band on the Wall, because it has a TV.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Robson Jorge and Lincoln Olivetti are two Brazilian producers from the '80s whose disco arrangements are killing.

04Playlist Notes

The first track you played on repeat?
T: 'Do The Astral Plane' by Flying Lotus.

A song that defines the teenage you?
E: 'Liquorice' by Azealia Banks.

One record you would keep forever?
J: 'Frank' by Amy Winehouse (track Help Yourself).

A song lyric that has inspired you?
“Suck your mum”

Best song to turn up loud?
J: 'Dead Limit' by Noisia and the Upbeats.

A song people wouldn’t expect you to like?
Ty: 'Gimme Chocolate' by Babymetal.

The song to get you straight on the dance floor?
T: 'Lite Spots' by Kaytranada.

Best song to end an all-nighter?
Ty: 'Kiss of Life' by Sade.

Any new bands you are into at the moment?
E: For pure thrills, Lynks Afrikka.
T: They’ve been around for ages, but have only just released their first album so I’m gonna say Swing Ting (Manny legends). 'Just a Feeling' is a constant in my car.
J: Because they’re heavy and bring joy, Self Help.
Ty: Long Legged Creatures. Sine waves on a stick.
