This week we bring you 3 bombs with a collab EP between @the_beatboys_ & @whiteoff_music 💣 We caught up with them all this week to find out how their musical journeys started and what it’s like collaborating on music 👇🏽 Q. (The Beatboy’s) How did you guys meet and what’s it been like working as a duo? A. We met at a DJ academy and after spending some time together learning and making music in the studio we became “The Beatboys” We found it better working as a duo as we believe two minds are greater than one and if one of us are struggling for motivation then the other can use theirs to lift us up. Q. (Whiteoff) When did you start making music and how long did it take you until you knew what sound you preferred to focus on? A. I began around 8 years ago but it was only until the last 2 years that this glitchy deep tech sound emerged on to the scene that I decided to focus on it and I think lately I have consolidated it. Q. (Whiteoff) How did the EP come about? A. I had been following The Beatboy’s for some time on IG and really enjoyed listening to their music, so I wrote to them about a possible collaboration and the rest was history. We went on to make “WTF” and “Twins” which we are all super proud of with the support it’s been getting! Scroll to the last slide to hear the A-Side “WTF” supported by the likes of Jamie Jones, Wheats, Ilario Alicante, Joseph Capriati and many many more! #gway

Our 15th release features an EP from @brendanjames.music with a beastly remix from @gioluccamusic We sat down with Brendan to chat about his influences, and how the track came about, check that out below and swipe right for a preview… Q) What’s been your favourite moment DJing so far? A) When I had my gig at the depo in Plymouth, my home town. I hadn’t been DJing for that long, and was used to playing to about 80-100. So, jumping to a full professional club setup, with around 400 people in the crowd at peak time, was a massive jump. That will change soon, as I’ve got bookings coming in up and down the country which I’m super excited about! Coming from such a small town, it can be really hard to get gigs, so I’m super grateful. Q) What have been your musical influences growing up? A) I’ve always been surrounded by electronic music, due to my dad liking all kinds of elcectronic genres, such as drum and bass, house, breakbeats, the lot. He always used to just like the beats of tracks, even within hip hop and genres outside of electronic music. So that’s where I got my love for just stripped back beats across all genres, often I prefer stuff without vocals. Then, as I got older, I’d always be buying obscure music for a young teen, from the likes of edm, deep house, drum and bass etc. I was listening to Hot Since 82 at the time, not even knowing he was such a big deal. Then, once I got into raving around 2018/19, I kind of just went down the rabbit hole from there. Once I started producing, around 2 years ago, I was making a lot of minimal house at that time. But, wanted to push my sound to a more darker tone, as that’s the kind of house music that got me into raving. Q) How did the idea behind the A-Side come about? A) I knew I needed to make some kind of edit, as I often just make original tracks with the occasional well known sample (I just enjoy producing that way). So it was a nice test at the time, as I made this track about a year ago, to see if my producing skills/sound could carry across to something so heavily sampled and well known. A lot of the sounds and techniques in this track are still current in my productions 12 months later!  #gway
