Catching up with Rough Cut & Tebah to talk about their "Absolute Terrace" remix...

We've had a quick catch up with Rough Cut and Tebah to talk about their remix of Matt Fear's "Absolute Terrace"...

You’ve worked together previously, so how did you work on this remix for Absolute Terrace?

ROUGH CUT– Tebah (Max) is a good friend of ours and he has been doing our mastering for the label since we started.  We’ve always like working with Max, in fact we just had another release with him before Christmas on Dog Records under his other Alias NoShame.  For this remix I sent to Max an idea and we just played around with it and got it done.

TEBAH – Yeah, I’ve worked with Adam for a few years, mastering and we’ve done some songs in partnership.  I was very happy with the invitation to work on this particular song because I’ve always liked Matt Fear's releases.  It was very satisfying!

Did you always plan for the remix to come out sounding uplifting?

RC – Yes this was the idea, we just played with that and went for it. Very happy with the end result…

TEBAH – Yes, I really love make music in this way!

What benefits do you find of working with others on productions?

RC – It’s always good doing collabs with other artists.  You think you have a sound in mind and once you both have worked on the track, it will normally go off in a completely different direction.  Working with people with different sounds has this effect and pushes you as an artist.

TEBAH – For each new song, it raises new ideas and learnings.  It’s always a good idea to unite the best qualities of each one.

Do you have anything else planned together coming up in the future and what else can we expect from you separately in 2018?

RC – Not currently, but it’s always fun working with Tebah or on his other project NoShame.  But no doubt there will be something new started very soon.  At moment myself and Bren are both dads and this does not give us as much time as we are used to in the studio.

We’re finishing up an EP for Runnin Wild – Bubba’s label.  So really can’t wait for this, been following this label from the beginning, so really excited now to be working on an EP for them.

TEBAH – Every year we release something together, so there will certainly be more musical collaboration between us.  This year I reactivated my project called "Tebah" that was stopped in 2017, next to that, I will become a father and certainly new energies will bring a lot of inspiration to new songs and I intend to make this year one of the best I have ever had in all aspects.

Finally, where are your absolute best terrace venues for partying or DJing?

RC – Well DC10 sticks out, but always love partying in Amnesia!
