How did you hear about Beinghunted ?

JL: Will Bankhead...

EC: To be honest, I can't remember how I got know about Beinghunted.com. I suppose it's one of those things that you will know if you're with it.

What sort of time have you been viewing the website ?

JL: Pretty recent to be honest - I don't really pay much attention to the Internet thing. I don't really pay much attention because I find it gets over-whelming to be honest. And it's why I don't really get too involved in press and all that kind of stuff. I just find it can sometimes have a negative influence on what you are doing.

Is there anything that you are hunting for ?

JL: I mean there's always bits and pieces but it's more... it tends to be quite unusual pieces of artwork or clothes you know - I'm trying to think what am I hunting...?

EC: There isn't any material stuff that I'm hunting for locally. But my favourite hunting ground would have to be Zouk Club (check: www.zoukclub.com). There isn't anyone or anything that I hunt there but it's the vibe and music that I'm going for.

Anything you'd buy right away if you saw it - no matter what ?

JL: I haven't really got anything like that at the moment. I've got to be honest, but I'm not in a hugely materialistic phase of my life at the moment. I'm quite overwhelmed by everything to the point where I'm not so...
JL: If I saw some old vintage Major Force clothing or some certain kind of Warhol things - I would really like some of the old Warhol T-shirts. I love a few things from Buffalo, that I've been buying recently, and some old Westwood stuff.
If I see something very random to do with something I'm interested in - say if I'm thrift shopping in America - something to do with 2001 or a film prop or something like that - but I wouldn't necessarily be looking for it.

So it would be something you just came across ?

JL: Yes. I like one-off things like prototype toys or just something kind of unusual in that way, but there's nothing specific I'm rooting for.

How, when and where did you guys meet up ?

JL: I met Earn through clubbing originally. I met him in Fabric, and then I met him in Singapore when I played there for the first time about 4 years ago, and we just clicked really. He was a person who was into similar aspects of music that I was.
Because a lot of the street-scene tends to be very image and fashion led. And essentially my background is music, so to meet someone who was coming from that perspective was really interesting.
Because of Zouk in Singapore it was much more full on clubbing, and a lot of kids into the street-scene tend to be more into the indie/hip-hop thing. He was more into the clubbing thing, so there was a good relationship there, and it kind of came from that really.

EC: I met James at Fabric in London 4 years ago. Then he came to Singapore during his tour, we hooked up again.
