Paul, you recently celebrated 30<br />
years as a DJ, what was that like for<br />
you?<br />
Made me feel old ha ha! It was great. The album<br />
was really well received and so was the 30 hour radio show<br />
that I put together with so many amazing guests. The<br />
amount of interviews that I did around that was immense.<br />
I was so shocked how mush interest came about as a<br />
result.<br />
We do still have more to come to celebrate. A big<br />
party in May in Southampton where both of us are playing<br />
as well as Phil Youngman from RCA Records and Phil<br />
Thompson aka Moonface who made a name for himself<br />
being resident DJ at Bedrock for many years. It’s good to<br />
get my good friends together for the party.<br />
You guys have been organising<br />
live streams for years now, probably<br />
from right back when not many<br />
people were doing it. Any plans for<br />
more?<br />
That’s right, we kicked that off with lots of<br />
amazing guests including Nick Muir, Tripswitch, Dave<br />
Seaman, Betoko, Just Her, Saytek and more.<br />
We are doing another one very soon and<br />
partnering up with Porsche again. We linked up with them<br />
back in 2018 and have been speaking to them again about<br />
recording another one. This time we will be at the Porsche<br />
Centre Portsmouth, so we’ll be announcing the details of<br />
that very soon.<br />
Any Drum and Bass tracks you<br />
guys are listening to at the moment<br />
that you’d like to mention?<br />
Yes, we have been listening to Etherwood,<br />
Echomatics, Electrosoul System, Matt View and Aleyum &<br />
Istoria. All making great music!!!<br />
