Ask the DJ/production duo DESIGNER DRUGS how many air miles they’ve logged over the past year and the answer requires more than a bit of calculating. “Over 300,000,” Michael Vincent Patrick referencing numerous spots around the world where the group has performed. “I have a really nice apartment in New York City, but I’ve only been there three days this month.”
It’s a testament both to the duo’s popularity and work ethic that that number may become the annual norm. After nearly 50 remixes for everyone from Mariah Carey to Annie to Thieves Like Us, the diverse electronic group, comprised of Patrick and Theodore Paul Nelson, is set to release their debut album HARDCORE/SOFTCORE on Ultra Records in February 2011.
Where past productions and remixes have been on the poppier end of the musical spectrum, Hardcore conjures up a darker, edgier vibe – think the throbbing, industrial-heavy opening club scene in “The Doom Generation” – yet still retains a melodic center on many of the tracks. “I think we’re making music for the apocalypse,” says Michael, only half-joking. “The state of society is at a place where people just don’t give a fuck and that’s what inspires our music.”
School hasn't stopped the group from putting on memorable live sets as much as possible. Spend a few minutes at one of DESIGNER DRUGS’ live shows and you’ll see the normally humble pair, spurred on by the intense energy of their music, transform into a different beast. “It gets pretty wild,” admits Michael. “Even though we’re mellow, there’s lots of stage diving and almost slam dancing. It’s next level dance club shit that almost morphs into that ‘90s hardcore/punk vibe.”
Designer Drug’s Hardcore/Softcore will be released February 2011 on Ultra Records

For All We Know
Designer Drugs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get ? with strange the sound
It doesn't even see my mind
Knew ones and someone staring
Into the face of time
It doesn't even seem my life
For all we know you can try
For all we know you can try
For all we know you can fight
For all we know
It's all so modern
Get ? with strange the sound
It doesn't even see my mind
Knew ones and someone staring
Into the face of time
It doesn't even seem my life
For all we know you can try
For all we know you can fight
For all we know you can try
For all we know you can fight
For all we know
The lyrics of Designer Drugs's song For All We Know are difficult to interpret due to their brevity and lack of context. However, based on the few lines provided, one can infer that the song has a futuristic or technological theme. The repeated phrase "It's all so modern" suggests a fascination with progress or innovation. The phrase "Get ? with strange the sound" is a bit ambiguous, but could be interpreted as the singer being immersed in new or unusual music. The line "It doesn't even see my mind" contrasts with the modernity theme, suggesting a disconnection from one's thoughts or emotions. The final line "It doesn't even seem my life" implies a sense of alienation or detachment from reality.
The repetition of the phrase "For all we know" implies that the singer is considering all possibilities or outcomes, perhaps acknowledging the uncertainty of the future in the face of technological advancement. The final pair of lines "For all we know you can try / For all we know you can fight" could be interpreted as an encouragement to take action, to try and fight for what one wants or believes in, despite the overwhelming influence of modernity.
