The Deacon Is Speakin'
“Music is always evolving. You got to work with everybody. Wherever you go, you have to evolve just like rhythm and blues evolved.”

Cosmic Dancers
"Everything we do is now more of a sub-conscious thing... There’s no laws or rules to what we do – everything is put down to our subconscious."

Snap! Crackle! Pop!
“These tracks show today’s producers that being unique is the way to be successful, and not trying to imitate others.”
Features / Music
Macedonia Dreaming
“For millennia, civilizations from East and West have been mixing with each other and, in a way, it influenced the material and the spiritual life of the people... I believe that all those influences at the end provide a new quality of seeing the reality and the music is an ideal way for expressing that.”

Sound As A Pound
“If we hear good things about a producer, be it from Facebook or whatever, then we don’t mind helping them out by releasing their tunes on our label. Phetsta and Tantrum Desire are both fantastic producers and we are very proud of the success that they have achieved.”

"I think it’s domestic nocturnal music... This is why it’s weird to be performing music for excited drunk audiences at various venues around the world."

"Everything’s in the two guitars and voices. Isn’t that what makes the Everly Brothers so great?"
Features / Music
Drop The Debt
"I think the punk scene should be flattered that we’re even being associated with it."
Features / Music

Joker Vision
“In a way no one has a 100 per cent original sound because everyone is influenced from some other music. But instead of copying music you like, take ideas, be influenced by it and turn it into your own thing.”
