SOULEYE & DC (of BLVD)
Interview by Katya Guseva
Sounds like you guys were busy in 2008 with an album coming out, signing with Victoria Secret and MTV, playing at festivals and shows like Sea of Dreams with Thievery Corporation. Now you’re touring Europe and US… What’s 2009 looking like for you?
DC: A lot of great things are happening; the band has been writing a lot of new music that’s taking us in new directions. Souleye and I have had some good downtime to write tracks ourselves outside of BLVD.
Souleye: Yes, I am excited to be putting the finishing touches on my next release Balance in Babylon. This will be my fourth album and has been 2 years in the making. You can expect the positive messages symbolic of Souleye, but this time mixed behind some of my favorite producers as well as good friends. DC has produced 5 of the 14 tracks. I have plans to start work on the next Souleye album in the spring of 2009. Finding the balance between working full time with the band as well as cultivating my solo project has been a very exciting juxtaposition.
DC: We have been doing a lot of Souleye/DC sets over the last year and playing as many shows as we can when there’s downtime with the band. This set is fun for us to do and lets us to step outside the box a bit. I DJ mostly original tracks while Souleye weaves through written songs and freestyle flows creating a new experience each time we perform.
