We wanted to explore the relationship between triplet psytrance and a heavy midtempo sound. There's a lot of inspiration floating around and things flow really naturally. That ends up translating really well into us producing some wild music together. At the end of the day we're a few guys with some crazy ideas and want to take people on a wild psychedelic ride.
We're all friends first, collaborators second. What do the three of you have in common that helps you work together? You can find the leader of the Black Skulls in the live visuals for Night Rider if you know what you're looking for. The Horn Of Abraxis is an artifact used by a cult to summon a demon biker gang called the Black Skulls. Those are the things that make us feel alive. In a time when everything is the most modern, most HD, most cutting-edge, we want to bring a product and experience that invokes some nostalgia, curiosity, and maybe a little fear.
But that's kind of the goal: to give listeners something really different they can sink their teeth into. How it fits into the modern electronic music world, it might not actually. What is the project's position in the electronic world? We really want to embrace our love of weird shit: off-the-wall lo-fi kind of stuff, retro film, low budget '70s sci-fi/horror movies, vintage psychedelic culture like MK Ultra and mind control.

It was a short jump from there to talking about music, and it was shortly after that Jeff asked if we wanted to remix Excision's "The Paradox" with him. She attended a drinking with strangers contest in Vegas for the first Journey Tour in 2016, and since we all lived in Seattle we got together when the tour was over for one of the legendary Montalvo ugly sweater parties. We actually met through Loch's girlfriend, Olivia. Were you friends first and then collaborators? How did you meet, and when? We were having such a good time playing B2Bs that the next logical step was to create something more tangible that allowed us to express ourselves more and take our listeners deeper into the world we wanted to create.
