Stick By This: An Interview With The Duo Behind Dusky

in in  



Please note that I have stolen this interview from another website, which is obviously much more cooler than this website. The website in question is called 'House Music Essentials' and I wasn't joking when I said these cats are cool. They are fucking awesome! Their slogan is 'Sex, Drugs, and House Music' for crying out loud! Now how can you not agree with that? Go over there and show some love bitches!

We at House Music Essentials (and A Physical Fraction lol) feel exceptionally lucky to bring to you our recent interview with Dusky. After previewing the forthcoming album 'Stick By This' we were so compelled by what we heard that we did our best to reach out to the duo in order to have our questions answered. Imagine how ecstatic we were to hear back from the label that we would be granted an interview. From the bottom of our hearts, we hope you enjoy the answers received as much as we do.

You mentioned in your interview with Anjunadeep that your sound naturally evolved into what is now recognized as Dusky. Can you attribute this evolution to anything in particular or is this truly just a case of nature taking its course?

It’s definitely just a natural progression – part conscious and part subconscious. We have broad tastes and we decided to start using more eclectic influences in our music. We don’t feel it’s natural to create the same sound, or same music over and over.
Do you find it difficult to return in full force to Solarity style music after time spent with Dusky productions?
No, not really. While we were making the album we were also producing Solarity tracks so we’ve been keeping it going. We still enjoy producing the Solarity style tracks.

Was there ever any question about releasing the identity of Dusky? Michael Cassette, a fellow Anjuna artist has yet to publicly acknowledge his identity, what was the reasoning behind telling the world Dusky is Solarity?
We didn’t see any point in hiding it. There are connections between the sounds – for example the use of strings, and there are a few tracks on the album and in the pipeline that are borderline Solarity/Dusky in style so we thought it natural to keep our existing fans in the know.
You mentioned also in the Anjuna interview that Lost in You has a natural environment in London, does the spirit of London act as your muse in a lot of your productions?
Definitely, we’ve lived in London our whole lives and it’s impossible not to be influenced and inspired by your environment. London is a very diverse city and we reckon that comes across in our music
