I went to see a Die Antwoord show a few years ago and it was crazy inspiring seeing two people create that much energy and presence. I was completely blown away and immediately started looking into what it was all about, which when I uncovered the performance art aspect of it I was even more impressed! In fact the creative hub of music and art that is Afrikaans culture is crazy impressive! <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Can you tell us a little more about who Shawn and Jeff are when they not making music?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">[Jeff] We are the opposite of each other.

It really was as simple and boring as we talked about music nonstop and decided to meet up and show each other what we were both writing. We did, we wrote a song that day, showed a friend who worked at a record label the song, he wanted to sign it and so we had to pick a name. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">We chose the name because of its open-endedness (if that’s even a word).

There are many parallels between performing music and performing standup so I guess it sort of makes sense now. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>What attracted you both to dance music and how did you get into producing and DJ’n?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">[Shawn] I used to play in bands and found that there's just so much in terms of competing ego's. With dance music, even if you collaborate with other people, I find most people have the sole focus on trying to make the music the best thing instead of being a hero for 5 minutes. I love the music and it's always been about that.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">[Jeff] I got into dance music by complete accident. My teens were spent as an unadulterated indie and brit pop fan and at that point I only knew dance music to be drum beats under other people’s songs, which I thought was completely lame. When a friend forced me to listen to the Northern Exposure mix CD it all started making a lot more sense to me and I recognized there was infact amazing dance music to be discovered. I started buying vinyl right away and after a few years the collection was growing massively and under immense pressure from everyone around me I reluctantly got a mixer and a second deck and it was pretty much all over from there. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3z4X_aFXcXj7rgj_FbfzWQmCQGP0Lh1WsT2avUHUfDwvlinRi5bVq-gYxv1qBLD-4YPt2A00CVK4DAjj-wIuRs_UYXKao9qiPJCmaqFmxvleNPmZ3e4aJCu0K-RNFtkZLUnArGX6bkY2L/s1600/the+only.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black;"><img alt="the only music" border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3z4X_aFXcXj7rgj_FbfzWQmCQGP0Lh1WsT2avUHUfDwvlinRi5bVq-gYxv1qBLD-4YPt2A00CVK4DAjj-wIuRs_UYXKao9qiPJCmaqFmxvleNPmZ3e4aJCu0K-RNFtkZLUnArGX6bkY2L/s1600/the+only.jpg" title="the only" width="640" /></span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="font-family: inherit;">What is a typical day like in The Only studio?

What are some of the challenges you guys are facing in your career as artist?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the big challenges is make something that puts you in a place amongst your peers but sounds unique and completely different at the same time. There are 10's of thousands of new tracks coming out every week from every corner of the world so you really need to come up with something that is not just good but fucking great! And then once you have that in the bag you then need to have the right imagery and marketing so people get to actually hear what </span>you've<span style="font-family: inherit;"> made. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">When working with Tigerlily we asked her to have a go at doing vocals on the track, which for Daylight is that X factor element for the song because nobody has heard her sing on a track before!<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Australia is spilling with talent what makes The Only stand out from other OZ talent? </b><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">At first it was our production, but now it's our hooks and melodies. A great idea always beats great production. We share a twin studio with fellow Oz artist Flume and if he hears something then is whistling it a few minutes later, we know we're onto a killer melody.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>You produce Bigroom Bounce. Which beach in Oz would you guys use to describe your sound? </b><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">haha neither of us have any idea?! We both have studio tans. But yes we do call our sound bigroom bounce because we try to make stadium size sounds but without ever losing the ‘bounce’ because it’s such an important part of what makes a dancefloor actually tick. Groove is an often forgotten element in bigroom music and we use bounce to bring this into our sound. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Your latest release is with <a href="http://www.thinkinelectronic.com/2014/09/tigerlily-teams-up-with-only-for.html" target="_blank">“Daylight”</a>, we are totally loving the track. How did the collaboration come to be?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">When collaborating we try and keep a really open mind and often seek out collaborations which on paper may seem really strange. The crazier ideas or combinations have a habit of creating the most exciting results! <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">We met Dara at a festival we were playing together at and got along really well so we just asked her to come to the studio one day. We first made a hard style track but we both felt it wasn't quite right, then got back in the studio and Daylight was born out of the hook melody. Once the melody was written it became clear the song should have a female vocal. Shawn suggested we think about who could sing it and then Dara mentioned she used to sing. That was it, we put her in front of the mic there and then and two hours later Daylight as you know it was written.  <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="font-family: inherit;">What was it like working with <a href="http://www.thinkinelectronic.com/2014/09/interview-finding-daylight-with.html" target="_blank">Tigerlily? </a><o:p></o:p></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwcvwmwA3E0urcM9kLIJBoXG70OFJ8Rvn-4w4OagRawtFjATiV99PpBEG9FQ3qtVh0dKY_ImAjogtSoJ3E5mqx2VEEiyTecSYfWEeI13OqErKO-OJdPwqIRlOjAkh7G8wEcNNVxFQXPaZ1/s1600/dj+tigerlily+and+the+only+ome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: black;"><img alt="tigerlily and the only" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwcvwmwA3E0urcM9kLIJBoXG70OFJ8Rvn-4w4OagRawtFjATiV99PpBEG9FQ3qtVh0dKY_ImAjogtSoJ3E5mqx2VEEiyTecSYfWEeI13OqErKO-OJdPwqIRlOjAkh7G8wEcNNVxFQXPaZ1/s1600/dj+tigerlily+and+the+only+ome.jpg" title="" width="213" /></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">We're both really busy so it was challenging to get time that we were both around to spend in the studio, but the writing process was really fun and it's actually really refreshing having a female perspective in the studio. We often talk between ourselves about avoiding sounds and vibes that are ’too dude sounding’ as we put it and with Tigerlily there is helped this so much! She helped capture the right feeling.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>We think her colourful hair and sexy voice makes her extra special what do you guys think makes Tigerlily extra special?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the things we think makes Tigerlily so great and why we were excited to work with her is because away from the blue hair and her image, she is the real fucking deal. She does this because she loves records and has good taste. She is a DJ and an artist first, who happens to be a female in a male dominated industry, not the other way round. It’s this authenticity which makes her special.  <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Last year you guys did a remix for Australian hero Flume's dance project What So Not which was released on Skrillex's OWSLA label. That’s pretty huge how was the remix received by the masses?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Harley (Flume) and Chris (from What So Not) are close friends of ours and it was really cool for them to ask us to come on board their remix package. We did a big EDM/club type remix cause that's what we do and weren't sure on how it would go down with the OWSLA crowd, but it got 100,000 plays on their Soundcloud and we got a load of amazing feedback. It really helped set us apart in terms of being a remix artist that can deliver something big but not turn a track into cheese just because it's mainstream.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Do you guys get in to any fights when working together, you know the male ego is something else, who’s the brains and who’s the beauty?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Always haha! And it’s a really healthy part of the process. We both only want the best out of ourselves and each other and if that means fighting with the end goal being a better song we are all about it. The important thing is to always leave it on the pitch so to speak. We have zero problems disagreeing and arguing over a sound or melody one minute and then walk out of the studio and having beer a second later. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Okay so we have to ask this do you think bounce is just a trend and will fade out or is it here to stay?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">It still has lots of growth in it we think.

I’m a 22-year-old DJ/Producer from Sydney, Australia. To be honest I’ve been playing music my whole life whether it be on stage in clubs, in choirs, or in various bands and orchestras. I suppose if I wasn’t doing this then I’d be doing something in a similarly creative field, maybe arts, films, or radio. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>3.

When I was younger I always wanted to be a pop star, and my pop-star name was always going to be ‘Tigerlily’, so I suppose it was just a natural thing that I didn’t have to spend too much time thinking about! <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>6.

From then on, I learnt to sing and play the piano and trombone, and was in heaps of band etc. My family is also super musical which helped me really enjoy my music. When I left school I started to listen to dance music as I began to go to all the clubs, and my eyes (and ears) were opened up to a whole new world and I fell in love!

A lot of people have to train their ears for years, but because I learnt music at such a young age it’s in my blood and is very much second nature. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>8.
