How did the Roni hook-up come about?
Trying to think of some really fun and exciting answer, but unfortunately being truthful, it was just our respective managers at the time talking amongst themselves. I’ve met him a few times here and there and been a fan for years, so it was a no-brainer for me.
How did the track come together? A real-life hook-up or an online thing?
We did a session together in a studio in London, and then passed bits and bobs between ourselves online. It was a good couple of years between that initial session and the track being completed though. He’s a really interesting guy. He’s done it all and got the t-shirt and is a pleasure to work with. He’s also got me onboard for his anniversary live tour of New Forms, which I’m pretty excited about. It was such a pivotal album for me growing up.
Point out an element or a sound where you can feel Roni’s input the most on Easy.
When we first hooked up at the studio we were just flicking through samples on his computer. He played this portamento synth chord which just sounded so typically Roni Size / Full Cycle / Bristol early 2000’s that instantly I knew I wanted to build a track around it.
