Benjamin Daly and LAST Japan are due to bring their blend
of electro records and insane loops to our Never Grow Up party.
It's a first time the two have mixed out together!!
A Benjamin Daly and LAST Japan debut! :-)

We catch up with the lads and see what they are all about!

Can you introduce yourselves please, who the devil are you guys? :-)

B: Hi im Benjamin Daly.

LJ: Im Last Japan.

So give us a brief bit of History, why / how did you both get into the game?

B: I started DJin as a kid and wanted to play out my
own tunes. So i started writing and producing.

LJ. When i started Uni, i made shit, electro music with
every preset know to logic! then i got really interested in how my
idols like the Bloody Beetroots and Justice got their crazy sounds
and just took it from there. Producing and now Djing.

When did the idea first come about to combine forces for the set?

BD: I think it started as pissed talk but we're actually doing it now!
Quite funny really, we share the same interests in music which inspired us a a lot.

You guys producing together too?

BD: We've been producing a few tracks together that are still
in the pipeline, but we will be getting some tunes out in a couple of
months under a super secretive alias.

What's in the pipeline for you guys at the moment (separately - projects)

LJ: I've just finished my E.P which will be released on
a new label Tunnel Vision in April, u can listen to previews of the
tracks on my myspace.
Now im doing as many sets as i can this year.

What is a Benjamin Daly and Last Japan set going to entail?

BD: The sets gonna be a huge mash-up of filthy electro and house.

How does it evolve on the night? Rigid set list?.... Just go with it?

BD: This is the first time were ever played together so who knows.
We don't like to plan our sets, its more fun that way.

What tunes aren't leaving our box at the moment?

BD: Tunes that haven't left the box are
'Bust A Move' - Young MC (Don Rimini Remix)
'Baggy Bottom Boys' - Jokers
Oi' - Last Japan & 'The Reward Is Cheese' - Deadmau5
and most of the Bloody Beetroots catalogue ha......

You feeling our cross genre vibe; e.g. broken beat and your 4tothefloor all under one roof?

LJ: I love the cross genre vibe. It makes a night so much
more interesting.

What nights you guys really rating at the moment?

LJ: Friday nights and saturday for clubbing. sundays for sleeping
and we both collectively hate mondays. haha!
We really love going to drum and bass nights at Matter to see the
Boss Andy C.
