He was the one who wasn’t back, he was out there, going to places. Wire: You started off listening to music because of your older brother?īurial: My older brother loved tunes, rave tunes, jungle, he lived all that stuff, and he was gone, he was on the other side of the night, almost. Sometimes some other kids would get us tunes, I'd record off of pirate radio all night. I miss being on the bus to school listening to Dj Hype mixes. Intense, Alex Reece, Digital, Goldie, Dillinja, EL-B, D-Bridge, Steve Gurley. My favorite tunes were underground and moody but with killer vocals: 'Let Go' by Teebee, 'Being with you remix' by Foul Play. Then I couldn’t believe that I’d done a tune that gave me that feeling that proper real records used to, and the vocal was the one thing that seemed to take the tune to that place. It was the thing that made me excited about doing it. But as long as it had a bit of singing in it, it forgave the rest of the tune. So when I started doing tunes, I didn’t have the kit and I didn’t understand how to do it properly, so I can't make the drums and bass sound massive, no loud sounds taking up the whole tune. To me it’s like a pure UK style of music, and I wanted to make tunes based on what UK underground hardcore tunes mean to me, and I want a dose of real life in there too, something people can relate to. Something happens when I hear the subs, the rolling drums and vocals together. ![]() I was into the cut-up singing as much as the dark basslines. I’d love these vocals that would come in, not proper singing but cut-up and repeating, and executed coldly. but sometimes I used to listen to the ones with vocals on my own and it was almost a secret thing. Wire: Vocals were always central to your sound, but they have become even more important on this album than they were on your first LP.īurial: I was brought up on old jungle tunes and garage tunes had lots of vocals in but me and my brothers loved intense, darker tunes too, I found something I could believe in.
