INTERVIEW FOR DISCO DROPPINGS.

1. What do you love about electronic music?

I love the sound! Sounds cool & fat, and also the possibilities, there’s some much you can do to make things sound challenging and cool.

2. You’ve played alongside some phenomenal artists (2ManyDJ’s, Erol Alkan, SebAstian, Boys Noize!), who have been some of your favorite artists to share the stage with? Any especially memorable moments at a show?

There’s loads, my favorite is prob Dour Festival in Belgium in 08. Rocking 5000 people going crazy is a great feel. Fav artists to play with? We had a lot of fun with mr Flash in Venice, also with Kavinsky in Milan, doing a tour with Beni was crazy fun, also the mini euro tour we did with Chromeo last autumn was great.

3. How has your music production process developed over time?

We try to go with the times and develop but don’t slavishly follow every new dance music trend that comes along.

4. What kind of equipment do you use? Both for live shows and production..

We use Logic 9 with Ableton in slave mode. Then lods of soft synths, real synths, guitars, live bass, percussion. We dj on CDJ’s only, no Serrato or Live. We do our own edits and fuck ups of all tracks before though.

5. What would you say to anyone interested in getting into DJ’ing/producing….the whole deal?

Don’t give up! Make sure you do your own thing and stick to it, you got to have your own sound!

6. What’s in the works for PJU in the rest of 2010?

We’re just finishing a remix for Kele’s (Bloc Party) new track called Everything. Then we’re doing a remix of Crystal Castles new track Baptism. Our remix of Zongamin – Azzazza should hopefully come out soon.

Then there’s at least one EP with new PJU stuff. We’ve worked hard the last 18 months on our own music and countless co-labs with lots of cool singers and artists all over the world. Names will be revealed very soon!

INTERVIE
W.

1. You guys have recently released the “Love For Those Hustlers” E.P., from what i’ve heard of the opening track, it’s got a very breezy feel…How would you describe this release and what were some of your favorite songs to put together this time around?

Adam: I’ve got a soft spot for the title track. Eazy-E was a lyrical rapper. He had a singing quality with his rhymes and under the gangster exterior you know the guy was full of love. That’s what we wanted to do with this release was cut through a lot of the bravado and just share the love. If you’re alive today and feeding yourself and your family then you’ve got to be a hustler and you deserve some respect. Every song on here is a tribute to artists that have influenced us and made our lives better in some way. We wanted to take each vocal and tease out something unexpected from it, re-contextualizing hardcore rap with beautiful and carefree melodies. Taking something that a lot of people dismiss and sharing the ways in which we believe it to be transformative and sublime.

Andrew: Since early this year we had started experimenting more with garage styles and deeper vibes…We definitely use alot of swooshy white noise in our tracks. My favorite tracks to do on this release were “My Posse on Broadway” and “Sipping on That Sizzurp”. The Mix A Lot track is one of Seattle’s biggest anthems ever and I feel like we updated it nicely with a bit of a dubstep and electronic vibe. That one really only took us a few hours because we were feeling it so much. “Sipping on That Sizzurp” is the longest track I’ve ever written at about 7:30 minutes! It’s so many styles in one – and I had some melodic breakthroughs with counterpoint in it. When I had finished the composing my part of that track I felt like I wanted to write more songs immediately. That’s not always the case when I usually put something to bed.
