You guys have released some great new tracks, tell us more about how it came about.
We normally get together in the studio & start listening to beats that we have produced & see if the artist gets a feel for it. 9 times out of 10 the artist gets the pen & pad out straight away & starts writing ideas down. Then the track just starts to develop from there.
What has the response been like so far?
The response we get for all our E.P’s is really good. We love what we do & to hear people loving our music is an amazing feeling.
What made you go in to music?
