Where are you from?
We're both from Maidstone in Kent (UK).
How did you get into drum & bass?
Wow, that's a tough one. Once first introduced to it there was no turning back I guess.
When did you start playing breakbeat / jungle?
I couldn't tell you an exact date but it was early days just as hardcore was slowly turning into jungle then into dnb. Although it's all the same thing eh!
Where was your first DJ appearance?
First DJ appearance as Unknown Error was in Belgium alongside Calyx. It was amazing and we had a real lot of fun!
How did you guys meet up?
We both used to work at the same place, shared the same interests so decided to make some beats together and this is what came of it.
When was your golden era of drum & bass?
Not sure on exact dates but around the time of Ed Rush & Optical (Wormhole), Bad Company (Inside the Machine and Digital Nation) times: 90s I guess.
Who have you released records for?
Renegade Hardware, Trouble on Vinyl, Cymbalism, Moving Shadow, Defcom, Horizons and the new label Lifted (www.liftedmusic.co.uk), which is a label compiled of just 4 artists: Evol Intent, Ewun, Spor & Unknown Error. The label's run by Chris Renegade and it's a label for a bunch of friends to output good music.
Which are your musical inspirations?
In dnb: Calyx, TeeBee, Noisia, )EIB( and in other genres there are far too many to list: Hendrix, Pink Flloyd, Miles Davies, James Brown etc.
How do you describe your own sound / the sound that you produce?
We always try to do something musical, be it dark or the lighter side of dnb. Orchestral, twisted and rough.
How is work divided in the studio?
We try to be fair with everything so that we are both doing equal amounts, before Rob would do more producing and Jim would do more of the DJ work. But now we are both raising our standards in both fields.
Which track have you written that you are most happy with? Why?
Probably Hellraiser. It all came together so quickly and done some major damage on the dancefloor, but then there's the "more like you remix" which has probably gained the most support.
What does your top 10 at the moment look like? (2006)
1. Calyx & Teebee - Telepathy
2. Calyx & Teebee - Confessions
3. Unknown Error - Bluekey
4. Spor - Knock you down

Which was your best gig/show in 2006?

On which projects are you working on right now / what's coming next?
We've been taking a break from producing for a little while now because we've been so busy with gigs and had a dnb overload as far as producing. But rest assured: We are back in the studio now and are going to come back with a real impact.
With whom would you like to work together with in the future?
Calyx, Noisia, Phace. All of these are on the cards. Watch this space!
Which producer do you rate most at the moment?
Calyx, Teebee, Noisia, Phace and Spor.
Which DJs would you book to play if you had control of a radio station for a day?
See above! haha
Which one LP everyone should listen to?
Edit - Crying over pros for no reason.
What one dnb tune do you wish you'd written and why?
That's a tough one, maybe "The Nine" by Bad Company. It still goes off today like it's never aged. Classic!

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They've got everything you're looking for, who knows what's behind that
door,
"D'ya wanna go where the wild men go?"
"D'ya wanna come and see a dirty movie show?"
"D'ya wanna do what the wild men do?"
Well everything's right here in the
Shadows and lights, on a Saturday night,
In the shadows and lights, on a Saturday night,
Oh yes it is truly amazing...
Take a walk down to old Soho, Chinese restaurant that I know,

Couple of ladies are hanging outside, down in the alley looking for a
ride,
"Little boy d'ya wanna come upstairs?
You'll never get a better offer anywhere young man,
Do you wanna do what the lovers do,"
Well everything's right here in the

If you're feeling a little bit crazy,
In the shadows and lights, it's a double delight,
Oh what can you do to amaze me?
Ooh the shadows and lights, on a Saturday night,
If you're feeling a little bit crazy,
In the shadows and lights, on a Saturday night,
Oh yes it is really amazing...
