Iluka
Olden Daze
"I’d pretty much completely run out of money, so I was staying with a friend in this tiny little attic that she lived in over there. I obviously didn’t stay in Paris too long."

Has Landed
"I’m super heavily inspired by guys like Sampology and DJ Yoda overseas. I definitely think Sampology has paved the way for me and a lot of other guys around the world to really get their head around what’s possible."

Finally Free
"The inspiration for it was always friendship. I think for me – and for all the guys in the band, really, but especially for me – that’s something that I always dreamed of having."

Hand Of Doom
"We did our last live show in March of 1995 and I didn’t take my guitar out of the case until I started with my next band Debris Inc. around 2000."

Double Edge
"You know, we’ve never called ourselves a pop band or an indie band or an electronic band. That’s not to say we’re doing anything pioneering - because we’re not - but we don’t sit comfortably within a genre."

It’s an exciting and invigorating release that, with a more streamlined approach, could easily transcend its retro origins altogether.
Features / Music
Changing Horses
"I’m basically the major writer of the group; I have been since formation. It was never intended that way. When I started it off, it was a collaborative band. It’s just gradually turned into me doing everything."
Features / Music
Back To Their Roots
"Sometimes I think we’re not as successful as we should be. Depending on how you gauge success. You know, overseas touring or releasing more albums."
