ILM: What would your advice be to anyone looking to come into the music industry?

Will: Hmm. Good question. I think perserverance is the key thing. You need to be ready to give up your time. It is a bit of a geek thing really. But, you have to be willing to sit in a dark room learning how to make a high hat and this beat or that beat sound really, really good and work together. Get ready to give up any kind of social life, girls and going out and things! haha! Nah, it's not that bad. But perserverance is key. That's not just with learning either. This industry moves at a lot of different paces, and sometimes you can finish a tune and it won't be released for another two years.

ILM: What is your earliest musical memory?

Will: I was always into a lot of different music. I like New Order and Joy Division because my cousin was into them or something. Also, I was a massive U2 fan, I remember being about 14 and playing them a lot. I remember going into Our Price, they don't have them anymore, and seeing a tape with a graffiti picture of some guy looking really cool on the front of it. I didn't know what it was, I had never heard of it, but I bought it anyway. I remember taking it home, putting it in my tape player and it was Grooverider ** and this drum n bass. I just thought 'F*ck. What is this? I have to get into this scene, I need to find out more about this music.' I also remember hearing The Prodigy and Rage on Kiss FM and just thinking the same. That was when I was about 15 or 16. Then I eventually got decks, started collecting records and it just went on from there.
