Why this name?
We have thought up so many names including FROGANTOAD, Funky Universal Cool Kutts, NU-SKOOL NUTTERS, GK VS THE JAZZMAN, MASTER TUBBY & THE PHAT CONTROLLER and many more.To tell the truth we still havent decided to stay with this one yet, but it was tought up for us by a friend.
Do you play live?
Occationally we play live but not very often as we are mainly producers.
A special moment was our first live performance where we performed 'Element of cool' with our live sax player. There was a very dificult crowed booing off previous performers so i didnt want to show my face on stage, i now wish i did because the croud reaction alone gave me a rush when our track reached the break down and everyone jumped to their feet (in a seated venue) and jumped up & down to the music.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
For the worse in terms of money for record companies, but for the beter in terms of availibility of music
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes if we didnt have to change our style or conform to a stupid image
