How did you guys first hook up and why does the partnership work so well?
ENJOY!!
How did you guys first hook up and why does the partnership work so well?
Marks: We’ve been best mates since we were 10 and grew up
together in Brisbane, Australia. Having known each other for so long is
probably the reason we work so well together, most of the time we know what the
other is thinking without anything being said.
OZ: Generally our workflow is great and our ideas correlate
a lot of the time, and we both try to keep completely open to trying what
either of us suggest individually as well.
M: I guess I would say I’m more experienced in the DJing
side of things, I self taught myself only about 5 years ago on the set up at a
bar I was working at when I lived in Sydney.
After we moved to Melbourne for work in 2013 we started having nights
where I taught Brent how to mix and we’d drink and mix for hours.
OZ: I used to muck around with FL when I was younger so once
we really started getting into music I started to have a play with that again,
It just kinda took off from there. Eventually we had a small studio set up and
would spend most of our day’s off drinking and making beats.
OZ: It’s really starting to pick up! Australia is getting
some awesome international artists coming over and it’s exposing audiences to
that G House sound. A lot of promoters are bringing all the big boys out like
Amine Edge & DANCE, Sharam Jey and we recently played support for Shiba San
in Sydney. The crowd went mental for him and the whole room knew all his tracks.
I think the blend of hip hop influence and deep house roots are really
resonating with Aussie auiences.
M: There are a few Aussie G House artists we’re digging at the moment. The Melbourne based ‘Jump To This’ crew are doing big things for the scene down here. Artist’s like Torren Foot, Hey Sam, Jez & Wildfire all have massive releases with a big G House sound. Another artist to look out for is Latour from the Gold Coast, he’s already got releases on House of Hustle and has collaborated with some pretty big artists.
OZ: I’m currently in Korea for work but I’m due home in a
few weeks, so I’m excited about getting back and playing more shows back home.
We have a lot of stuff on the go production-wise so excited to keep working and
getting our tracks out there.
M: I’m heading back to Brisbane for a few months and have a
few shows already booked so I’m looking forward to bringing our sound back
home. Also we’re really working on moving our sound in an interesting
direction, much more house based so I’m pretty excited about where we can take
it.
Can you tell us what you love and hate most about each
other, one thing each?
M: Love – How Brent completely dedicates himself to
something once he’s figured out he enjoys it.
Hate – Drunken arguments, cos neither of us ever wins!
OZ: Love – That nothing is ever a massive issue
Hate – When Sam rocks backward on my expensive wooden chairs
during a session!
