Sometimes we start with rhythm, sometimes words, sometimes something quite slight, like an atmosphere or a lyric idea, and then let it follow its own path as much as possible.Į: Every track on the album came about in a different way. We can both play, engineer and programme, so we'll start with that and see where it takes us. How do you approach the creative process? The lure to make music with somebody else is strange as there are many people I respect but I’m not sure I'd want to get into something so intimate and revealing with them. We started swapping tunes, then DJing, then re-animating, and finally making our own music.Įrol (E): We started working together through mutual respect. We started making music together after meeting on a BBC London radio show, where I was playing psych and Erol was the other guest. I went to Erol's night Trash, and we also played some of the same places occasionally. Richard (R): We knew each other from London clubs. How did the two of you first meet? And what prompted you to start making music together? We take a trip with them down their rabbit hole to find out more… With guests including Jane Weaver, Euros Childs and Blaine Harris from the Mystery Jets, the album succeeds in showing off their love for dreamy shoe gaze pop to roof raising club material and everything else in between.

The duo hit it off on meeting, gradually unveiling edits for a raft of artists including Midlake, the Chemical Brothers and Goldfrapp before focusing their attention on a debut full length record of their own music. Meeting in London’s cooler clubs in the noughties, Richard Norris and Erol Alkan have their roots embedded in nocturnal activities, the former as producer behind chart tickling rave act The Grid and the latter as the head honcho of revered night Trash.
From remixes and re-animations to their own shimmering material through latest debut LP, The Soft Bounce, Beyond’s the Wizard Sleeve’s (BTWS) hazy rise into orbit has touched on the best bits of rave, sixties psych freak outs and much, much more.
