以下為訪談內容：
為何會將自己分化成兩種個性的音樂身分? 它們與你的作品之間有哪些關聯嗎?
以Imaginary Forces來說，它的時間相對來說較長而且一直以來都是在做嚴肅的作品，所以這次我想做一些比較輕鬆而且帶有舞池風格的電子樂。
你曾介紹過Basic Rhythm的背景更接近於你早年在非法電台當廣播員的時期，為何在’Raw Trax’上的音樂類型是寫Bass而非電子舞曲?
我不會特定定義我的音樂風格，它就代表了它自己的音樂類型。但我的確認為Basic
Rhythm的氣息比較偏向電子舞曲。
在單曲中含有人聲的混音，當中有你自己的聲音嗎？
沒有，所有的人聲都是從其他歌手的歌曲中取樣混音的。
我很喜歡這次專輯上的單曲”Maintain”，當中的”I gotta maintain.”是從哪位歌手的單曲上取材呢？特別挑選這句歌詞有什麼喻意嗎？
這首歌混音取材於Mobb Deep，”I gotta maintain.”對於聽者會有他們自己的解釋，會有不同的詮釋。
跟我們多分享這次專輯的概念。
這次的作品是來自我鼓以及貝斯的混音，還有在非法電台的Jungle以及Hardcore時期的延伸，融合了饒舌樂、底特律鐵諾跟芝加哥浩斯電子樂對我的影響。基本上我只要聽到任何可行的，我就會試做混音。
*Jungle與Hardcore都是以極速的碎拍令人著迷，Jungle的特色在於饒舌樂，早期的Jungle樂手幾乎都是黑人，也讓此類的電子樂擁有濃烈的黑人感。
*Detroit Techo與Chicago House也是電子樂中經常與黑人歌曲或是靈魂類型的藍調音樂作融合的音樂類型。
你有欣賞其他歌手或音樂家嗎？
在這次的專輯上的確有幾位歌手影響我，如Alex Reece、Potential
Bad Boy、Mobb Deep等，或是音樂廠牌Her的歌手，但最主要的是來自我早年的經驗。
在發行’Raw Trax’之後，會進行任何演出或是巡迴嗎？
今年我還有為Electronic Explorations做混音帶，以及在Rabits 唱片公司發行黑膠。接下來我有可能將在日本演出。
我們是不是可以期待新的作品了？
我最近正在進行下一張Imaginary Forces的專輯，而第二張以Basic Rhythm為名出的專輯將在下半年發行。

Reading our exclusive interview below :
Why you split yourself as Imaginary Force
and Basic Rhythm? Does it has any connection between you and your work?
I have been making music as Imaginary
Forces for a lot longer and that project has become a lot darker and serious in
tone over time, so I decided I wanted to make something that was a bit more fun
and more for the dance floor.
You've said that Basic Rhythm is more
directly upon your pirate radio years, why you define your genre as Bass not
Electronic dance floor?
I don't really define my music by any
genre. It is what it is. However, I do think that Basic Rhythm is much more
straight forward music for the dance floor.
Does this LP includes your own voice?
No. All vocals are samples from all sorts
of records.
I like "Maintain" so much, what
do you mean in the lyrics "I gotta maintain." ? To keep on working or
it is just a state?
It is a vocal sample from a track by Mobb
Deep. It is up to the listener to interpret what they think it means to them.
Can you tell us more about the concept of this LP?
The music is a mixture of my background
playing Drum & Bass, Jungle and Hardcore on pirate radio stations in and
around London, combined with influences from Rap, Detroit Techno, Chicago House
and a lot of other music. Basically, if I hear something that I think will work
in a track I will sample it.
Are there any specific artists you admire?
In relation to Basic Rhythm there are a
couple of artists who have had an influence on the work. Alex Reece, Potential
Bad Boy, Mobb Deep, record labels like Her Records... but the biggest influence
would be my background playing on pirate radio in London.
Will you have shows or a tour after releasing ‘Raw Trax’?
This year I mix '412 - Electronic Explorations Mix' for Electronic Explorations. I also had a 12"out on Rabits label, Halcyon Veil, and a CD on Entr'acte shortly before that. I might be playing a few shows in Japan in the next couple of months.
