Interview With Evolution


With enough quality releases and years of tenure to fill two family scrap books, how do you guys re-create and revamp a sound you've almost Single-handed pioneered? How do you keep up with the direct changes? In style this type of music so rapidly goes through?

With having the label it helps to keep us on our toes with all types of art… trends come and go, keeping an eye on the trends is almost as hard as making the music.

With more and more Fluid releases consisting of other artists, is Evolution fitting in the picture more as behind the scene producers of up and comers? Or is this a way to fill in the gap while a build up of material for other projects such as the new Evolution album?

Yes and no. It seems the more the label grows the more demos we get and the quality of the demos is getting better all the time, plus we did not want the label to start sounding all the same.

What would you say was the turning point of your musical careers...what was you first big break?

Meeting Sasha.

Fiction or nonfictions. What has been a high and low point of your recording careers thus far?

Highs… there have been many, people getting your tracks in clubs and going mad. Lows… people not getting your tracks in clubs and walking off the floor (but that only happened once and then some guy had his pants around his ankles masturbating, I think he got it!)

With the wealth of new artists popping up all over the globe, do you feel that the quality of the music has gotten/or will get better/worse?

Hopefully better and different… it has to get. Evolve or it will die. It is a bit like any society… change is a necessity. Apathy is one of mankind's downfalls.

Many artists are now adding DJing to their resumes, as too are the more notable djs taking an interest in studio time. Do you feel that it is easier to gain more exposure by moving on from an artist to dj or from a dj to artist? Why?

I suppose all exposure is good it works when it is done well, but sucks when it doesn't.

You have recently completed an Evolution album titled "Unnatural Selection" which is due to hit the stores very soon...this month I believe. I've noticed one or two older pieces on the album and would imagine the rest is all new material. How many of these will be released

I wish I could answer this but, to be truthful I don't know.

How long did it take to write and assemble the material for the album...from start to finish?

About 2 years on and off...but 15 years is more like a better estimate.

You have had past/recent collaborations with vocalist Jayne Hanna such as the new Walking on Fire which is also featured on the album. How did you guys team up together to produce such meaningful vocal tracks?

We have been friends for 8 years now. Our publisher introduced us at the time, a great man called Mike Seffton. We hit it off straight away and have never looked back. Jayne is one of the best songwriters out there… nd watch this space for her solo work…it is amazing.

What is in store for Evolution release wise in the not so distant Future?

We have already started work on the second album. I think there will be more songs, rather then all out dance, but who no's… the future is that bright we have to wear shades.

Thank you to Rachel at Fluid for setting up the interview… and to the boys for taking the time out of their busy schedule.
