Jolly Brolly display a deft touch in this lurching dose of dubwise delights. Both heady and headsy.
What were your ideas or plans gong into the mix?
Our planning was only really based on a few songs that we’ve wanted to mix but haven’t been able to in a club context. Then we went from there.
What's it like playing as a duo? Do you each have particular quirks or traits?
Josh - it’s definitely good because Ollie can and will be brutally honest when something doesn’t work. And vice versa when it comes to Ollie's obsession for darude sandstorm remixes
Ollie - I think it is usually ok except for when Josh holds back my creative flow. He just doesn’t seem to understand the value of a well placed remix of darude sandstorm, but I guess creative differences are inevitable in a duo which pushes boundaries in the way we do.
Ok, what have been your favourite releases recently?
Josh - Taking the liberty of 3 months: Perko's Nv Auto or the new James Blake.
Ollie - Taking a liberty of 6 months: The Suspiria soundtrack by Thom Yorke or Twisted Love/About to Burst by Justin Cudmore
How about a set or performance you wish you could go back to and experience all over again?
Josh - Nicholas Jaar at Houghton
Ollie - Loefah at Glastonbury
Nico Jaar is known on occasion to play this absolute mini cheddar of a cheesy rave tune
A track you've always wanted to play out but never had the chance?
Josh - Cameo - 'She's Strange'
Ollie - Cute Heels - 'State of Mind (LA 4A Remix)'
Your dancefloor saver?
Josh - I'm not really in a position to say much but I played 'Ongie Bongie' once and it banged.
Ollie - Daniel Avery - 'Naive Response'
Your favourite club?
Both - Cirkus
(ed: Those Funktion-Ones tho)
The soundtrack for your funeral?
Both - Radiohead - 'Life in a Glasshouse'
And on a lighter note, the tunes you'll still be listening to in 50 years?
