1. What does Hip Hop mean to you? and why?

It used to mean rebellious and the only medium to say what you really mean. Now it means “ Show me the money anyway you can “

2. Name some of your favourite artists and why?

Maurice Fulton, Arthur Russell, Talking Heads, J Dilla, Black Sheep, Basement Jaxx, Tuff Crew, Radiohead, Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben, Fela Kuti, D’Angelo, Cymande, because they did what they wanted to without compromise and when they ready to do it.

3. What part of the city did you both grow up in?

I grew up in London Ontario.

4. Ohhhhhhhhhh

5. Your both known as " The gang of two".....why?

It sounded cool, like ironic, you know. A gang usually consists of much more, but we are more than enough to handle.

6.What does ol' skool mean to you?

Without genres, unity, having fun, dancing. None of these things exist in quality anymore.

7. Why parties? Why be dj's?????? Why not hockey players?

It just happened, and I can’t skate, week ankles. I make films too. Dj’ing cause I had a lot of records and I couldn’t play an instrument. We’re justwanna be rock stars

8. How long have you both worked together? and where did you meet?

We met in London, we’ve known each other for about ten years but only really started dj’ing together for three or four.

9. What does the " Academy" mean to you?

It means nothing to me, that’s Todd’s ish.

10. What do you both do when your NOT playing parties?

Going to school (Ocad for film), working two other jobs, being tired, complaining a lot.

11. Tell me about the recent MANIFESTO event? How did it occur?

Ask Todd.

12. I hear that u both can " Party like a rock star"......is that true????


It is true…not are all privy to this though.

13. Are there any Toronto/ Canadian artists that you would love to work with?

No. Maybe Glissandro70, or Abdominal

14.Tell me a bit about " Bang the party"? How did the idea came about and why?+ Why the choice of music that is played?

Check the attachment.

15. If you could transform into a superhero ,who would it be and why?


Wolverine for sure. Fast healing power, strong bones, lives longer than most. But then maybe the Beyonder

16. Whats you favourrite ol' school movie and why?

Define ol’ school movie.

17. Where do you see the gang of two in five years?

In a different country. Somewhere warm, unless Todd gets married.

18. I see your fans of Grace jones(she is on all there party flyers)...How did this occur?? and can you each name your favourite Grace Jones track or album?

My favorite track of all time is Pull Up To The Bumper. She appealed to all things at that time, punky, disco, weird, androgynous, black and white, just like the music we play.

19. "I heard"....that your planning to bring grace jones to toronto?????

That was never true.


20. When can fans check out you next / or upcoming gigs???

All the time, check the myspace, www.myspace.com/gangoftwo

21. What does " A day in the life" of andy capp and rod skimmons include?? I hear( my sources told me) it involves "breakdancing groupies" on E????????

WOW who told you that? It usually involves a lot of yachting, kicking little children and eating Ostrich eggs with Brie.

Thanks guys!!!
