<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>

<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;">

<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>
