How did you guys meet and when did you start writing together? How does it feel when you wake up every morning ... knowing you made probably the best trance ch00n of all-time and the pressure of never living up to it again? Describe your sound in 5 words or less. Why the f*ck did you release one amazing song and then f*ck all for 8 years (except for nightrider etc)? Not really into the music and were happy living on royalties or just scared that nothing will compare to 1998? or what? The Royalties paid were minimal… the original publishing agreement was with a company that went bust, therefore no royalties were paid after that period… The publishing licensee's had the right to do whatever they wanted with the song, hence the numerous remixes… Of which we didn't receive a penny for… Just to put things into perspective for you… I (Stu) live in a very small 1 bed room flat with my fiancé in South London and Matt lives in a bedsit in North Devon… We've both being doing our own thing for the past 8 years, we are just glad to be back together, a lot wiser and a lot more determined to put right some wrongs… (Matt) – I totally agree with Stu, Its payback time and the trance addicts will love every second of it :) Do you prefer hardware or software? What can we expect them to do live? Back 2 back DJing? What's the tour about? The idea is to never have the same set twice... We are also exploring how we can write a custom piece of music for every gig we play… possibly at the intro stage… Who or what inspired you both to start writing? Matt: Eat Static & House parties – also a grounding in music (guitar, bass and drums) – and deep down something really gets me going with funky rhythms… Why did you break up to begin with and what has brought you back together? For me (Stu) I felt I had to remove myself from the circle before it made me really very unhappy… A chance email brought us back together… I (Stu) had lost contact with Matt and whilst out in Australia received a cryptic email! :) We decided to give stuff a go, as we really feel that it isn't us coming back, its Binary Finary actually starting… (Matt) I should have followed Stu :) Have you had any professional musical training? Did they get any money for their Binary Finary melody being used in Kontakt / Show me a sign? Are there any artist collaborations lined up over the next year? Are u two gay lovers? What's your most favourite 1998 mix? What are the key differences between the tracks 1998, 1999 and 2000? How did you get in touch with José Amnesia? Will there maybe be a Binary Finary remix of The Eternal? Have either of you or the two of you as a duo written any other music for release, exploring other genres and types of music; or do you plan to? One thing neither of us like doing is feeling forced to write a certain way or in a certain style… We'd much rather write exactly what we want to at that time… What is it exactly that we can expect in the future? Is it just a release of a new tune, or is there more to come? We have a new song out this summer which we are excited about, there is also plans for a sample cd in the future, but that's unconfirmed as yet… we have lots of ideas its just a matter of getting them from the idea stage to the real stage! J Will there one day be Binary Finary album or Binary Finary in the mix? And what producers you appreciate most? For me (stu) I love early BT stuff and I really dig The Ozric Tentacles… Eat Static, Infected Mushroom, Orbital – all of it (Matt), I like a lot of non-dance productions also. I hope there will be many binary albums. What's the question you would have liked to be asked? What is your favourite track of all time, and why? A lot of people think that the trance sound is dead. What are your thoughts?
