Into The Unknown - Pivot

Having been playing live so intensively has the live element began to influence the production.

Undoubtedly. It already is.  We’ve been working on new stuff and firstly, we’ve been doing it together in the same room which is different from how we made the last album because Dave was in London a lot of times and it was a lot of sending each other files and stuff and now it’s only the three of us. The process is more interactive with the organic element of using technology, and that’s exciting because you don’t know where it’s going to go.

Can you already discern a shift in sound for the future?

Because we don’t really know where it’s going it is kind of exciting. It’s like with the live sampling: when you’ve got someone on stage that’s solely dedicated to making sounds live there’s a lot you can do with that.  We’re just trying to chill out and be good, you know.  The last couple of gigs Dave’s been getting into sampling things and doing lots of strange future beat things with it on his mini table.  I think probably towards the end of the year we probably try and play the new material rather than just play the album.

How did the Warp connection come about?

It just sort of happened quite naturally.  It’s weird because they’re a big influence on us. We’ve listened to their tunes for years, since high school.  It’s strange, if you would have said to me ten years ago you’d put a record out with Warp I would have told you to fuck off, but when it happened it was like, oh it makes sense, because their the label who want to put out the kind of music we care about. We basically made the record we wanted to and thought we’re really happy with this and they were happy to put it out. It was all a happy coincidence!
