We must first know that we live exactly 808 miles from each other (this distance was in fact the title of our first song) BASS-KA and RL lives in Bayonne ITS lives in Paris. So we will explain it is our typical day when you see ...Â
In fact, it's very simple, whatever the season, our typical day is to make music until exhaustion. To ensure the vital functions when we will taste a little mime of the Soulfood "Quick" from the corner and that's all. Making music, being among the machines, refine our tracks, trying new stuff is what we love, during these sessions while the rest is put aside, even to celebrate, though relaxes just this side lately ... must not lose contact with the ground!Â
What are your musical influences?Â
RL SON started Hip Hop in 1991. He is facing the prods New Yorkers and preferably small labels, though this time he has a weakness for the West Coast scene French (Aelpeacha, Southcide 13 ...). Tastes of-BASS KA are more eclectic, it ranges from hip hop to punk through electronic music (Wu Tang Clan, the Bérus, Daft Punk to name a few ...). Being past behind the turntables has opened the music club in general. Added to his passion for machines and it did not take very long before he turns naturally to the production house and electro.Â
When it was soon and RL began to do some house tracks. Like many producers of hip hop he discovered how to make this music was not so far especially in the handling of samples. It is truly our passion for 80's funk and soul that we gathered. It also likes some rock bands like Rage Against The Machine, Infectious Groove, The Black Béruriers few French singers and more fun, Italo disco, new wave, the Moroder Soundtrack ...Â
What you report interviews with internet?Â
Good all say at once, it was more than twenty years (laughs) but we found this fantastic tool. We are amazed every day, honestly. This is surely because we have long known a world without internet with all the limitations that implies. It's still crazy to tell you that you can have contacts around the globe with people with similar passions and similar interests!Â
For music as direct as you say it has changed life as well: we can easily disseminate our work and have an almost instant return, with sites like Rapidshare or MegaUpload you can work remotely exchange files with Forums can find many answers and advice for our old analog synthesizers and drum machines our ...Â
It is anyway convinced that the future of music in a business sense is there. The music will certainly be more physical medium. It gives us a touch of nostalgia because the vinyl will always give us the best medium to write music. But frankly, without internet we would not be sitting here to answer your questions.Â
Sites like Stillmusik are another alternative super interesting and innovative: a structure of production and editing, which sells directly online, it reduces costs for everybody and de facto requirements for profitability. So, it will also raise the level and quality pieces, sure ...Â
Favorite dish or menu?Â
When we are together and we all taf we eat what the industry has created more unhealthy: chocolate bars, cola and menus XL. It is full of cholesterol and diabetes for years! More seriously for RL is the comic Portuguese and Mediterranean (Spain, Greece, Lebanon and Maghreb), plus some tasty sauce dishes of his native Normandy, not forgetting the Basque cider. By cons, BASS-KA is one who eats nothing ...." Joker "So the question ...Â
Except for the vague term of electronica, how you describe your music?Â
Funk revived the automatic defibrillator, Soul rescucitée with an injection of antropine (laughs). We have been very difficult to define us, it's probably the house-funk-tinged hip hop and electro, rock decorated with finely chopped ... In any case this is not music to the message of energy but it was an approach to club music very groovy
