Pick Up
A one man downtempo act. Is it downtempo? I don't know. I just try to make stuff that I want to: I rarely stick to a genre (although Air-style chillouty stuff is my current angle).
I'm James. I'm from England. I have no hardware.

Why this name?
The man Rukin gave it to me, god bless him.
Do you play live?
I played live infront of Bastins in Torquay once. The busker outside SuperDrug didn't like it, though, and punched me in the gob.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
You can effectively 'try before you buy' which is excellent. Or 'try without having to get up off your big fat arse' which is even better.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No. I mean yes. Who wouldn't?
Band History:
History? Well, I bought FL Studio a few years ago, and ever since I've been tinkering with it. I should be the best artist of all time by now, but I just don't make enough songs. I need more experience. And a big, £10,000 studio.
Your influences?
Lemon Jelly. Cornelius. Air. Zero 7. Boards of Canada. Well, some don't sound like me, but they were influential.
Favorite spot?
The bench outside Giles Sports in Torquay.
Equipment used:
FL Studio mainly. But also a load of VSTs - FM7, Pro-53, BassLine, Atmosphere, Lounge Lizard. Reason through rewire lately, too!
How can I afford all them you ask? I half inched them!

Moon Safari is a beautiful album.
