Interview with M.Y.N.C Project

Q: You're current track 'Something on my mind' started out being called' Edge of seventeen' with a Stevie Nicks sample. Where did the idea for the track come from?

A: We heard the track in the film 'School Of Rock' and instantly thought that it was an idea that could work. We got hold of the soundtrack and listened to the song over and over again, it was such an uplifting song yet the subject matter of 'Edge Of Seventeen' was very personal to Stevie Nicks as it was about the death of her uncle and John Lennon. We tried to keep the emotion of the original version, yet add elements that would work on a dancefloor today. We were pleased that clubbers and djs alike felt the version we did.

Q: It's been snapped up by Matt Jaggers new Apollo label. Did you think the track would cause so much interest?

A: Edge was already proving to be quite a big track, but we couldn't clear the sample, so we had the basis of a big record but it was up to us to come up with a new song that retained the vibe of 'Egde of Seventeen' we felt confident that 'something on your mind' was a strong version and when Pete Tong played it for the first time we were so thrilled and it sounded great! Matt and James at Apollo were both very big fans of the new version and we were pleased that they picked it up for the UK. We never thought it would get to the stage of making videos, pushing for playlists etc, we made the track because we though it was a good idea and really liked the original version.
