Incoming! As Annix drop the cluster bomp of an ep that is Digital for Playaz, launching soon with a stage production boasting smoke bombs, gymnasts and water cannons. Well, there may be a few small exaggerations here and there but not when it comes to the ep itself. From the title track right through to the contender of title of the year, ‘Have A Party’… it’s properly badass.
If you met it in a dark alley you wouldn’t mess with it.
Digital is a wicked look, one of the best eps this year. When did it all start to come together?
Hi, Thanks a lot. One track on there is about two years old so it’s been in the making for a while
From Annix on the ep front we had ‘Past & Future’… does the ep format appeal to you? Nice and concise.
Yeah, it works, although we’d never rule out the option of doing another album or single: the tunes we’ve been making recently just seemed right for EPs
The sound on Digital is as wicked as ever, as unpredictable, and is very ‘Annix’. But I wanted to ask: do you feel you have changed a lot in the last year?
Yeah I guess, were always trying out new sounds and techniques. We also switched studio for a bit so maybe that had something to do with it.
And I’ve grown my hair (Mike).
Can we talk through the title tune? How did this killer come about?
‘Digital’ began as rough two minute long rough idea that I made on my laptop around 10 months ago. It sat on there for about a month then we decided to take it to the studio and finish it
Why the ‘Digital’ title?
It’s inspired by the vocal sample we used in the tune.
It’s been a big year for Playaz, what with Hazard delivering as always plus stormers from Break, Tyke, Original Sin, what’s it like to be part of the crew?
It’s truly an honour. it was our favourite label when we were younger and they are great to work with. Hype has played a big part of us improving as artists and we are very happy to be releasing music with them
Where can we find Annix playing out next?
Coming up we got London at Coronet, Holland for Noisia Invites, Germany, Australia and much more.
