The beauty of it is that you can interpret it any way you like. Hooks: We just thought it would be cool to make a video that was more visually entertaining and ambiguous than a regular story. The video is pretty captivating… Tell us about the brains behind that? What’s the different between a 2.0 version and a remix of yourselves?ĭC: Yeah it’s not like we were trying to say this is an improved version of the song. Let’s spare a moment’s thought for Collapse 2.0…. Anything to not have to deal with airports. Actually, if you could suddenly gain any super power, what would it be and why? Hooks: Probably guitar because you can just take it with you and play it anywhere and really turn up a campfire haha.ĭC: Piano, just because its applications are so far reaching, especially in production. If you could suddenly gain the power to play any instrument really really well, what would it be? Hooks: We both play guitar and piano at very basic levels.
In this one there wasn’t any live playing but if you think it sounds like it that’s good. We’re always trying to make our music not sound so ‘electronic’ by sampling breaks and real instruments. Were real instruments played during the making of it? There’s a really nice loose live-sounding groove about the drums and bassline on the chorus. We wanted to make a heavy head nodding sort of tune and I think we got it. Hooks: We’ve just always loved his tunes and been playing them in our sets for ages so we thought we’d see what we could make together. How did the Megalodon hook up come about?

So we’re chatting right now because of Wit Me… Skanky sickness and free to boot. Also the chocolate is better there than in Canada. So many amazing music scenes and bands come out of the UK. What’s your favourite thing about the UK anyway? First place we ever really toured outside of Canada. Tell you what sucks? The fact you didn’t come to the UK on this tour… What the dickens was up with that?ĭC: We gotta get back soon, we love the UK.
It probably sounds trivial to complain about it when you’re in these epicentres of culture but it’s part of our job. It’s like going back in time to 1999 with the internet in hotels.ĭC: Yeah it’s tough to get work done while traveling in Europe because of the internet lol. By far the worst thing is the WIFI, though. Hooks: Well it goes without saying I guess, but not being able to speak other languages can suck. Now please tell us three things that maybe don’t rock quite as much. The coffee in Europe is almost always really on point, too.ĭC: I concur. BBC, for instance, really is amazing in that it pushes lots of new sounds and not just the same old pop crap we have across the pond. As far as electronic music goes, there is so much talent and forward-thinking ideas coming out of Europe. Everywhere you go has a very detailed history especially in places like Rome, which I went to for my first time on this trip. Please list three things that rock about Europe…. Also ate some pretty bomb food in Rome, but other than that, mostly grinding and traveling. We’ve just been using any spare time we have on the road to work on new music.ĭC: Had a night off in Amsterdam one of my favourite places and good for easing mid-tour tension. Hooks: Nothing really crazy to report on this one. How was your European tour? Let’s have some highlights please… Actually scratch that, I’m robbing a bank at the moment. Usually at this time of day I answer emails so this isn’t really interrupting anything. We’re playing Spring Awakening festival tomorrow.
Hello DC, hello Hooks… Where in the world are you reading these questions and what have we interrupted?ĭC: Currently in NYC, on a high floor with a view of Manhattan… I feel like Batman… you interrupted my brooding. Read on to see where DC and Hooks are at and find out why you should never sing Uptown Funk within the vicinity of Hooks. Then again, when haven’t Zeds Dead got some pretty big sounds lined up?
