Joe and Will met in 2005, both coming from very different musical backgrounds. Joe was releasing drum and bass 12” records while Will came from the hard house and trance scenes. Their name describes their relentless passion to constantly explore genres of music, and represent their different influences within their own characteristic sound that they have become so well known for.
They started collaborating in 2007, and almost immediately drew attention from local DJs at respected nights such as Trash, as well as club promoters and indie labels. Their residencies at underground club nights soon moved into playing at some of the hottest nights in London; Matter, Trailer Trash, Durrr, Club NME, Boombox, Scala, Ministry of Sound, the Egg to name a few, as well as gigs across the UK, Berlin, Florence, Milan, Budapest, Bucharest, Lille, and Ghent..
Meanwhile their productions have been equally well received. Coming across with dirt and cutting edge production and an eye firmly on the dance floor, but also with effortless musicality not normally associated with techno, they win over fans from the band/ indie scene, as easily as diehard clubbers. They inject tonality and musical flow into everything they touch, all under the banner of techno or electro or whatever you would like to call it, and have been compared to SoulWax, Chemical Brothers, DIM and Popof.
The duo signed to Andrew Friendly’s Gulp Communications in 2008, and have released three EPs worth of material, appearing in the Cool Cuts Chart, and bringing a wide fanbase to themselves including Brodinski who said “My favourite producers of the moment”, Kris Menace, Vicarious Bliss, Casper C, Acid Jacks, AutoKratz, Dark Globe, Jody Wisternoff, Cazals, Matik, Virgin Tears to name a few. They went on to remix a wide array of artists, from the highly blogged Mystery Jets remix, to La Roux on Kitsune/Polydor, Revolver (EMI), The Bell, Jupiters Heroes, Acid Girls, Revolver, Franz & Shape, Division Kent (Sony), Circuit Freq, Milke and Atomizer. There are many other remixes in progress for the likes of Ministry of Sound, and EMI’s new priority band ‘Hockey.’
Joe and Will perform live, as well as DJing. As DJs they are adaptable who like to play to any crowd but their heart lies in techno and minimal on big systems. Live, their setup consists of the pair playing a set of their own material using laptops and midi controllers. The set is hard, and energetic with a balance of musicality to win over the indie crowds as easily as the techno crowds, hailing back to the start of warehouse rave with it’s raw energy and fist pumping breakdowns. Just witness the indie crowd at Club NME go absolutely mental to two lads behind laptops, and you quickly realise this is music that’s connecting on a primal level, with enough raw energy, guts and musicality to win over virtually any audience. And therein lies the answer to what Joe and Will asked.
Heartbeats
Joe and Will Ask? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When every step
Puts us face to face
I'm so lost in your gravity
Pulling me closer
while you pull away
And I feel like I'm falling
Hear your rhythm calling
Left with your impression
Wondering where your heads been
As I lie awake
I lie awake 'cause
I can't sleep
Without your heartbeat
That sweet sweet
Way you breathe
Is all I need
Oh I won't dream
About you next to me
'Cause I can't sleep
Without your heartbeat
Is this what you meant to be
Slowly burning out the best in me
I'm waking up to fantasies
Tossing and turning in your memories
And I feel like I'm falling
Hear your rhythm calling
From my endless daze
Left with your impression
Wondering where your heads been
As I lie awake
I lie awake 'cause
I can't sleep
Without your heartbeat
That sweet sweet
Way you breathe
Is all I need
Oh I won't dream
About you next to me
'Cause I can't sleep
Without your heartbeat
Without your heartbeat
The lyrics of Joe and Will Ask?'s song "Heartbeats" depict a complex emotional struggle between two individuals in a relationship. The singer expresses their difficulty in distancing themselves from the other person, as every step they take seems to bring them closer together. Despite feeling lost in the gravity of their connection, they also sense the other person pulling away. This creates a sense of confusion and vulnerability, as they find themselves falling deeper into their feelings.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's dependence on the other person's presence and the intimate connection they share. They confess that they cannot sleep without the other person's heartbeat, highlighting the importance of their partner in their life. The sweet way the other person breathes becomes a necessity for the singer, representing the comfort and security they find in their relationship.
The second verse delves deeper into the longing and yearning the singer experiences in their separation from the other person. They question if this distance is intentional, feeling as if the other person is slowly extinguishing the best parts of them. They awaken to fantasies and are consumed by memories of their time together, unable to escape the strong emotions that linger.
Overall, "Heartbeats" portrays a desperate desire for connection and the pain that comes with being apart from someone who holds such importance in one's life. The lyrics capture the singer's need for their partner's presence and the way their absence impacts their ability to sleep and dream.

Without your heartbeat
