Can you tell us how you guys met and started working together?
Well we met over 10 years ago when James was producing for a friend of mine, then we met 5 years ago again at the WMC in Miami and on James’s next trip to the U.K we did a day in the studio and went from there
Pete, you’ve recently moved to Ibiza and have spent many summers there over the years. What makes the island so special for you?
The island is so special as it’s a place where so many like minded people come together, the clubs are amazing and the weather is always fantastic and nobody has work the next day!
James, we believe you recently moved back to Canada after living in the UK for many years. Is it good to be back home and is there anything you miss about the UK?
Well i was actually born in the U.K but moved to Toronto when I was 5 years old, I lived there till i moved to London in 1998, I stayed there 6 years and moved back to Toronto but am now living in L.A, but currently spending the summer in ibiza, and the thing I miss about the U.K most is weather!!! lol
Which 4 people (dead or alive, real or fictitious) would you invite to your perfect dinner party?
Bono, Frank Sinatra, Keith Richards & Brain Eno

What was the last album you bought and can you give us a few other recommendations of albums to check out?
Pete – The last album i got was the brand new Stella Polaris compilation, an amazing collection of tracks that is from the annual Danish electronica festival.

What 3 things are the worst about touring?
That’s easy: lack of sleep, hangovers and shallow women, or maybe that last one isn’t so bad! lol
