cm: What would you like to see developed in the future in terms of studio hardware or software technology?

L&L: “We saw a commercial the other day for the Vochlea Dubler Studio Kit which is a live voice-to-MIDI controller that uses a software app combined with a USB-mic and are tempted to buy one. We haven’t tested it out yet but controlling and shaping a sound on your computer with your mouth/voice seems like a great idea. We think there is a lot of potential in those technologies.”

cm: Tell us a little about your most recent music release?

L&L: “The album Lose Control came out last year on Elevate Records and we are very happy with it. We think it’s our best release so far and it also had a great response from the whole drum & bass scene. We have been working with the same studio setup for many years now because it has been very stable. Whenever we think about making major changes/upgrades though, we realise that we are in the middle of a major project and don’t find the time to do so! So technically you could say that this album wasn’t produced differently than the music or albums that we did before.
