<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 30.6666660308838px;">Fully Charged (Lee Watson & Scott Ashworth) begun their musical journey 10 years ago when they first begun DJ’ing. During this time they held a residency at one of the UK’s most iconic clubbing venues The Syndicate, Blackpool and only four (4) years ago they decided to turn their hand to producing, which led them to the formation of aptly named Fully Charged, in 2013.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 30.6666660308838px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 30.6666660308838px;">Since forming in 2013 the duo have already notched up 11 electro/prog-house cross-genre hits, consistently charting inside the Top 100 Beatport Chart along with gaining support from internationally acclaimed DJ’s, Jochen Miller, Pete Tong, Paul Oakenfold, Judge Jules, Richard Grey, Futuristic Polar Bears, Fausto, Pink Panda and Sick Individuals.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 30.6666660308838px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 30.6666660308838px;">Since their collaboration with Richard Grey titled ‘Hey’ (#10 Beatport Electro Chart) the duo have gone from strength to strength. No sooner had the dust settled on ‘Hey’ and ‘Prayer’ was hitting the Top 20 in the Progressive House Chart. Since then the boys have become renowned for their high quality energy fuelled dance-floor hits most notably ‘Prayer’, ‘About The Music’ and recently ‘Showdown’.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">How are you doing
and how was your guy’s summer?</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi
hope you’re well and thanks for your kind words, we love to talk about anything
to do with music :) Our summer was really good, we basically spent it in the
studio which has 4 carpeted walls so didn’t see much sun at all!  <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>To start off tell
us who Lee is and who Scott is? If you could be any animal in the world what
would you be? </b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 23pt;">Lee has been in the spotlight quite a lot over
the last 15 years with his appearance on many TV shows and if he was an animal
then </span></span><span style="line-height: 30.6666660308838px;">definitely</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 23pt;"> a Monkey! He’s always pratting around and being cheeky... Scott
would be a Tiger because of the Eye of the Tiger track – he’s focused on being
the best and </span></span><span style="line-height: 30.6666660308838px;">doesn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 23pt;"> let anything get in his way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>Fully Charged on
what….? </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are
Fully Charged on music and the energy of the crowds – we think it’s all that
matters in life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>We are from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">South Africa</st1:place></st1:country-region>,
and we ask all our “guests” this. What’s the first thing that comes to mind
when you hear <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">South Africa</st1:place></st1:country-region>?</b>  </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For us it has to be the World Cup in 2010, we love football and it was
such a fantastic tournament! The South African people were amazing and the
atmosphere was just awesome :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>Together you
form  Fully Charged for all our readers
out there who don’t know Fully Charged 
please can you tell us a little more about how you both met and how did
you join forces? </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We
both met DJing at the Syndicate super club in Blackpool which was the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region></st1:place>’s
largest club, from the moment we met both of us connected like brothers and to
this day we have still not disagreed on anything. We’re both crazy about music
and starting to produce just seemed like the perfect path for us to go down.
It’s taken a lot of hard work but our music is now we starting to get some
recognition which, we must say, is just fantastic!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>The story goes you
only began producing recently tell us about the first time you sat behind a pc
to make a track? Did you love it or hate it?</b>  </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes
actually, it was a nightmare!  The first
time we ever sat behind a computer it was an old, slow PC and the machine kept
crashing all the time.  As with all our
projects, we weren’t put off and certainly didn’t give up – we decided to
invest in a Mac Pro and have never looked back since.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>Where does your
love for music stem from? Have you always wanted a career in music?</b> </span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yeah definitely, we both fell in love with music from a very early age,
starting to play the keyboard in our teens. We loved the track Underworld by
Born Slippy from the film Trainspotting, it was probably this track that got us
into dance music – it’s such an iconic track.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>You’ve just
recently released Belly Dancer and the track blew up.  Tell us more about the track, it’s not the
typical EDM record?</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are so happy that Belly Dancer is doing really well – it was a bit of a risk
track because like you said, it’s not a typical EDM record.  The track started with us receiving an email
from Chaim in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>
who sent us the original idea which we really liked, we decided to work on it
as a collab which resulted in the Belly Dancer you can hear on Beatport today!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>11 Beatport top100
in one year. That’s pretty impressive. Do you think chart ranking are important
for success in the music industry?</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, 100%.  You need to be in the
Beatport Chart without a doubt, it’s the world’s #1 and most recognised dance
chart so in our opinion, this is where the world will hear your sounds.  So many tracks are released every week so to
get into the Top100 is hard, it goes without saying that we are so incredibly
grateful that people support us because without them we would be nothing.  <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>Out of all the
Fully Charged releases thus far if you had to change one of the tracks which
would it be and what would you change?</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hmm tough one!  Probably “What You Doing”
– it was our first release and we’d probably change everything now!  But at least it’s proof of just how far we
have come in 12 months...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>With so many new
styles of music becoming popular in your opinion what style is here to stay and
won’t change?</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our style! No seriously - music will always have trends where certain genres
become more popular than others but at the end of the day, music is beautiful
and affects many people in so many different ways so no matter what style you
like or are into, as long as it makes you smile then happy days!  <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>You both started
out as DJ’s and it been said to get noticed in the industry as a DJ you need to
put out productions. Do you agree with this?</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, these days this is a must.  You need to produce your own music so we’d
advise all aspiring producers put the hours in refining their craft or take a
music course like we did – then you will stand a much better chance in this
very tough industry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>How would you
describe the Fully Charged sound? Do you see yourself ever changing your sound?</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Fully Charged sound is very
energetic and uplifting, we don’t ever want to change it - we love and it’s
what has worked so far for us.  Although
we understand that any sound has to evolve to stay current, we strongly believe
that if you love doing what you do then stick with it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>Do you think luck
has been on your side or do you make your own luck? </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We believe that sitting in our
studio 12 hours every day has got us to where we are now, oh - and plenty of
cups of coffee!  No, we don’t believe
luck has had anything to do with our achievements - if we had then maybe we
would be playing big festivals by now!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>It’s that time
again DJ Mag 100 . We don’t agree with the poll what’s you guys take on it? Who
do you think is going to be number 1 DJ? And what makes someone a number 1 DJ?</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are not big fans of the DJ
Mag poll, it’s a popularity contest rather than a skill contest so don’t really
take much notice of it really.  Plus, if
anything there should be a DJ Top100 and a Producer Top100 as many don’t do
both… <o:p></o:p></span></div>

you had to invite three people to play at a party you were organizing who would
you invite and where would your party be?</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 23pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Hey guys, thanks for chatting to us! Before we get
on to your latest release, can you tell us the story behind Fully Charged?</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi, thanks for talking to us we really appreciate it! We have
always been into music from a very early age. It was over 20 years ago when we
first begun DJing. During this time we held a residency at The Syndicate in
Blackpool and four years ago we decided to turn our hand to producing, which
led to the formation of Fully Charged in 2013. When we were thinking of what to
call ourselves the name Fully Charged seemed perfect as our DJ sets are of high
energy. We like to jump around and go crazy which in turn makes the crowds do
the same.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">How do you think your combined 20 years’ experience
in DJing/producing makes Fully Charged work?</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, with this much experience it can only mean one thing – we know
what we’re doing! They say it takes 10 years to become an overnight success and
we have double that so we think now is our time to shine. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">How do you complement each other as producers? Do
you each have your own strengths?</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We both have our strengths and have a great connection in the studio. If
one of us is not feeling the track then we simply scrap it and start again. We
spend hours every day working on new ideas and how to better ourselves as producers.
We might have loads of experience but you can never have too much, we always
want to improve.  <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Your new track ‘Belly Dancer’ is a wicked
collaboration with Bumer! Roben and Mike from Israel, and Big Daddi from the US
– how did that come about?</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We have our own label called OOO Records and Chaim aka Bumer! sent us
the idea to have a listen, we immediately liked it and said we would like to
get involved by putting our Fully Charged stamp on it.  Chaim was very happy as he had heard our
sound and loved our track ‘Hey’ with Richard Grey so we went to work and came
up with this finished product. We sent the track to our friends, the In Demand
Lads who have big connections with various labels like AATW. They loved it and
decided to release it through Spincredible.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">The track has had some huge support, were you
expecting big names to be behind it?</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The track is very catchy and has an unusual style to it so we weren’t sure
as most DJs play it safe. But this stands out so were 50/50 on how it might go
down but we’re so happy it’s been getting the support we feel it deserves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Where are you most looking forward to playing it?</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Everywhere! We love dropping it in our sets and whenever we play it people
always ask what it’s called and when it’s released. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">There’s also a video to ‘Belly Dancer’ – have you
got any stories from the shoot?</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Alex aka Big Daddi came to one of our gigs to get some footage of him rapping
on stage for the video. He decided to get two girls on stage with him and one
of them had the biggest pair of heels you could imagine and the shortest dress.
Maybe we shouldn’t laugh but throughout the whole song which is only 3 minutes
she must have fallen 7 or 8 times! The crowd found it pretty hilarious and so
did we!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Your last eight releases have soared into the Top
100 on Beatport, do you feel any pressure to replicate that success with this new
track?</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">No we don’t as we’re confident that all our releases are good enough to
chart, so we just get behind every track to give it the best possible chance.
We would like to thank everyone who buys our music, it means the world to us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Percussive, fluid, shimmies, shivers and vibrations; the characteristic movements of the belly dance and exactly what DJ/producer duo</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><strong style="font-family: inherit;">Fully Charged</strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">hope to get dancefloors doing with their new middle-eastern flavoured track.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Predicted to be their ninth top 100 Beatport hit,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><strong style="font-family: inherit;">‘Belly Dancer’</strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">sees the guys from Blackpool join forces with Israel’s rising stars</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><strong style="font-family: inherit;">Bumer!</strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">,</span><strong style="font-family: inherit;"> Roben and Mike</strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and USA rapper</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><strong style="font-family: inherit;">Big Daddi</strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">. Oozing summer vibes and big room synths, the track has been hammered across dancefloors on the party islands of Europe and is a front runner for catchiest track of the year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Having begun working together last year, Lee Watson and Scott Ashworth have been consistently bringing their high-energy electro/progressive cross-genre hits to clubs in the UK and overseas, gaining massive support from the likes of</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><strong style="font-family: inherit;">Futuristic Polar Bears</strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><strong style="font-family: inherit;">Pete Tong</strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><strong style="font-family: inherit;">Richard Grey</strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><strong style="font-family: inherit;">Sick Individuals</strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With the highly anticipated video to accompany the infectious club banger coming soon, the track is set to continue gathering momentum around the UK and in Europe.</span></div>
