We have no definitive way of making music - it's just whatever we are feeling at the time. Sometimes it's a bass pattern other times a kick drum! Obviously we have other tracks from various artists which we love so they inspire us in one way or another.
It's our home from home. We absolutely love it here, we've been visiting the city for 10 years now. Dubai has so much to offer, it never gets old. It's a really beautiful place with all walks of life bringing something unique to this incredible melting pot.
Ibiza - clubbing capital of world. When the music's right and like minded individuals connect it's like no other party on the planet.
We met Elderbrook at Dairy Studio in Brixton, London. We had the idea of an indie dance track that was reflective of our mood at the time. It was a freezing cold morning in February '17 so the Track was meant to be dark and discreet. Little did we know it would become one of the biggest dance tracks of the summer! We didn't have much time but some how managed to get the track down. Elderbrook is super talented, he made it light work for us as producers & the whole track was put together in less that two hours!
It hasn't sunk in yet... it's all a bit crazy right now. We were actually in a meeting with one of the most important and influential festival promoters in the world then we got a message with a screen grab of the nominations and a message saying get your suits ready (laughs).
We are truly overwhelmed by the nomination, I guess it's like a musical Oscar. For pretty unknown artists/producers like ourselves it's as big as it gets (apart from winning of course). It can really put us on the map and open doors to work with even more talented writers and producers.
That's a good question... Managers & PR teams will tell you social media is everything these days and to a point they have a case but ultimately it's all about the music.
We pride ourselves on not buying any followers across the social media spectrum which has resulted in our supporters/followers being genuinely interested in CamelPhat. So yes it's cool to stay active on the socials but being active in the studio is far more important!
You don't have to be a producer to be "real" DJ, just a serious passion for the music and a good knowledge of the genre/genres you are playing. A great DJ will have the patience and the guts to take you somewhere with his or her music. They will decide for themselves what's hot without jumping on the bandwagon and most importantly have fun.
Set up a Soundcoud account, get your mixes up online for the world to hear. Consider a random and ridiculous name (like CamelPhat) to potentially make you stand out from the rest. Go visit clubs and bars playing the music you're interested in, connect with the DJs and promoters there. It's as much about who you know as it is talent.
Next up is our Australian tour which includes Fiji & New Zealand. Then Columbia in early Jan & fingers crossed a trip to New York for the Grammys 2018. Once January is out of the way we'll be hitting the studio hard and who knows maybe a potential album could be on the cards autumn time.
We just wanna have fun, hopefully that transcends to the dance floor and we can take the audience on a journey and open people's minds to electronic music!
Who were your musical influences growing up?
Wow so many... The Doors, The Beatles, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, New Order, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, Prince to name but a few.
The XX, London Grammar, Drake, Kings of Leon, Eric Prydz, Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Carl Cox, Chemical Brothers & Daft Punk.
We met at 3 Beat Records in Liverpool, UK, we both bought vinyl there at the time. In fact Mike was also the security guard (laughs). We got chatting about music, had very similar tastes and eventually started to go see each other play at our local nightclubs as DJs. From there we got in our makeshift studio & started putting down very under produced basic ideas. I guess you could say we were learning our craft, as we still are to this day!
