Those tracks still feel timeless. Your sound has shifted quite a bit since then and it’s reflected in all your newer releases, it feels less festival, more introspective. Did that shift happen naturally, or was there a point where you consciously decided to move in a different direction? </b></span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #ff0072; font-family: times;">S+S:</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: times;"> We had a period from 2016-2019 where we were really uninspired and just not into what we had started making, besides one or two things. We came to a very intentional agreement in 2019 that if we didn’t start making things we loved we would quit. We got inspired by the melodic, organic and progressive house being made at that time. It reminded us of the music we made when we first started in the mid 2000’s. So it felt like a natural time to return to our roots, but with everything we had learned in the more poppy, big room era. This return also coincided with the pandemic, so there was naturally an introspective feeling in the air. It just aligned so nicely.</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: times;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: times;">TIE:</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: times;"> <b>Listening to your older records and your latest EP <i>Communicate +</i>, it’s easy to hear that the musicality has always been there.

If something goes too far in one direction it can get monotonous. <i>Communicate +</i> was really a response to making so many albums and just wanting to put out instrumental records we could play in the club.

We can’t wait to go back. South Africa has been a part of dance music’s DNA for much longer and the crowds were older and also more diverse. There were people from all over the world there and they really had an amazing  understanding of different eras and styles of dance music. It felt really special to play there and know that if we dropped an older record people would get it. Both places were amazing though.

You just have this sense that they really understand the music in such a deep way, and you can tell they’ve been listening to it their whole lives.
