Soul of Man chats to I Like Music
ILM: Can you describe the Soul Of Man process of making such fine music? Is it the beats that come first or the vibe, or sample, or melody or is it just random?
Justin: It's all of those really, although I suppose it is random. The way we set out to make a tune is normally without anything specific in mind in terms of how the end result is going to sound. It may start with a sample. We tend to do it in quite an old school way, starting with something, a sample loop or funk loop and then letting it evolve out of that. I suppose the roles are that Jem is more the Engineer and kind of Funk Master, whereas I am the Director with my house head on. We have different influences in our music but when we get on a roll, like with anything creative, hopefully the magic seeps in and it starts to make sense. It is difficult to answer specifically but generally it is a vibe that starts with a sample and then it is just random.
