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.
Last Forever
Joe and Will Ask? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had a dream
We we're both together
And I didn't want it to end
I wish this would last forever
Sometimes the sun shines
But you can't predict the weather
But nothing last forever
You called me on my birthday
And everything seemed okay
Then by the following Thursday
You had nothing left to say
Well sometimes the sun shines
But you can't predict the weather
And some things last a long time
But nothing lasts forever
The lyrics of Joe and Will Ask?'s song "Last Forever" evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia for a moment that felt perfect and fleeting. The singer describes having a dream where they were with someone they cared deeply about and expressing a desire for that moment to never end. This longing for eternal connection and happiness signifies the fear of losing something special and hoping to preserve that joy forever. The dream serves as a metaphor for a past experience that was uplifting and transformative for the singer, leaving a lasting impact on their emotional state.
The lyrics also touch upon the impermanence of life and relationships, emphasizing that while some moments may feel eternal in their beauty and significance, they are inherently transient. The analogy of the sun shining amidst unpredictable weather reflects the idea that fleeting moments of happiness and contentment can be overshadowed by unexpected challenges and obstacles. This contrasts the yearning for permanence with the reality of impermanence, highlighting the transient nature of human connections and experiences.
The narrative of a phone call on the singer's birthday followed by silence and emotional distance by the next week conveys the bittersweet nature of relationships. Despite moments of clarity and connection, relationships can gradually fade away, leaving behind a sense of loss and confusion. The sudden shift from apparent harmony to detachment signifies the unpredictability of human emotions and behaviors, reinforcing the idea that everything is subject to change and nothing is guaranteed to last forever.
In conclusion, "Last Forever" by Joe and Will Ask? encapsulates the complexities of longing, impermanence, and emotional vulnerability in relationships. The dream-like quality of the lyrics conveys a timeless desire for eternal joy and connection, while the harsh reality of life's unpredictability and fleeting moments serves as a stark reminder of impermanence. This juxtaposition of yearning for permanence and acceptance of transience creates a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the ephemeral beauty of human experiences.

Last night
In my dreams, I experienced a moment of happiness
I had a dream
I imagined a scenario where we were united
We were both together
We were in each other's presence
And I didn't want it to end
I wished for the moment to never fade away
I wish this would last forever
I desire for this happiness to never cease
Sometimes the sun shines
Occasionally, everything seems perfect
But you can't predict the weather
Events can be unpredictable
And some things last a long time
Certain experiences endure for an extended period
But nothing lasts forever
However, all good things eventually come to an end
You called me on my birthday
You reached out to me on a special occasion
And everything seemed okay
Initially, everything appeared fine
Then by the following Thursday
But soon after, the situation changed
You had nothing left to say
You had no more words to communicate
Well sometimes the sun shines
Indeed, certain moments seem bright and promising
But you can't predict the weather
Yet, the future remains uncertain
And some things last a long time
While some experiences persist for a while
But nothing lasts forever
Ultimately, all moments are fleeting

I never believed in dreamin'
It never got me very far
I never believed that love could find me
Like an arrow through the heart
I never believed in miracles
Or building castles in the air
Not until that day I found you
Turned around and you were there
From the day you came you gave me
A whole new point of view
I've been touched by an angel
It's impossible but true
I believe in you
I swear that forever from today
No one will ever take your place
I believe in you
(I believe in you, oh yeah)
And I believe our love will last always
(Oh, yeah)
I never believed in fairy tales
Though sometime I wish I could
I never believed that golden slippers
Could ever find the perfect foot
I never believed in magic
Or that wishes could come true
But your very first kiss changed all this
Something only you could do, yeah
You made me a believer
You made me trust again
You showed me there's a pot of gold
At every rainbow's end
I believe in you
(I believe in you)
I swear that forever from today
No one will ever take your place
(No, no, no, no, no)
I believe in you
(I believe in you)
And I believe our love will last always
(Yeah)
Only love
And if it's up to fate
Then you're my destiny, yeah
Now I know, now I see
Anything can happen
(Anything)
If you just believe
I believe in you
(I believe in you)
(I believe in you, babe)
I swear that forever from today
(Forever)
No one will ever take your place
(No one is gonna take your place)
I believe in you
(I believe in you, baby, oh yeah)
And I believe our love will last always
(Believe our love will last)
I believe in you
(Oh, I believe in you)
I swear that forever from today
(Swear)
(Forever)
No one will ever take your place
(No one is gonna take your place)
(I believe, I believe in you)
And I believe our love will last always
(It's gonna last, it's gonna last, it's gonna last)
I believe in you
(I believe in you, babe)
(I believe in you)
I swear that forever from today
(Forever)
No one will ever take your place
(No one is gonna take your place)
I believe in you
(I believe)
(I believe)
(And you believe)
(And you believe)
And I believe our love will last always

My husband kept on listening to this song last year this time. A few weeks or days later our 1.5 year old son was diagnosed with a rare and very aggressive brain tumor quarter the size of his brain… it shook us to the core especially when the doctors called us after a failed op with a mass bleeding that they couldn’t do anything anymore… 5mins to live… I arose within and wrestled with the living Christ to display His power right now. We kept on speaking the Word over this little body. He made it through the night, the doctors couldn’t believe their eyes. God Almighty parted the Red Sea in front of our eyes! God spoke to us that His glory is going to be revealed… here we are after one year of much refinement… 10 months of intense chemo and now have started intense radiation to “medically stabilize the remaining tumors”… even tough we are going through all the natural procedures our hope and faith is not in medicine… but in the Living God who will still part the Jordan to enter into the Promised Land of Divine Health and Healing!!! We pray salvation to everyone that has been involved in the process and a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit to the glory of the beautiful Son of God Jesus Christ!!!
