1-What do you think about the actual urban sound in UK ? And the urban dub sound in Europe? What changes you see in the actual music about the digital media and the liberation of tracks via internet ? What do you think about SoundCloud, Ustream and other free media devices? What do you think about Megaupload and S.O.P.A / P.I.P.A.?

The urban & underground sound is very strong in the UK. We make Dub Reggae music, and that is the source of inspiration for many new kinds of music (Dub Step, Drum & Bass etc). The UK is a very culturally diverse place with a unique history and a million influences from both home & oversees, so it's no wonder our music continues to be so inventive. in terms of Urban vibes, the UK is very densely populated, so there are many millions of people living in environments experiencing Urban lifestyles. Our scene, an in particular the UK Dub Reggae Sound System scene grew out of the multi-cultural urban ghettos of England. As for digital changes, the music industry has always made use of the latest technology, so it's just part of the on going development of the music industry. For very underground artist like us, the internet has allowed us to communicate with our fans all over the world and helps us spread our music so much further than we ever thought possible back in the 1990's. The Pirate issue is interesting, but really its just a growth & continuation of how home taping was back in the 1980's, where most people are happy just with a copy of the music rather than the original. What me must be careful with now is to maintain the freedom of the internet, whilst looking at how we can stop people who are profiteering from organised crime - not an easy balance to make!

2-Can you tell us about your new proyect THE FRENCH CONNECTION? How began the connection with MACKA B and the story behind the fantastic track TIRED OF THE WAR ? Can you tell us the story about touring with S.O.J.A.?

I met Macka B here in the UK, as sooner or later you meet everyone in our small underground scene. He lives not far from us, in the next city, we are in Leicester and he s in Birmingham. I invited him over , and we recorded this track. It was written just as the Iraq invasion by the USA & UK was happening, but the message is universal as war continues to persist and mess things up for people. I was always a fan of Macka, his recordings with Mad Professor were great and his lyrics are so clever and funny, it was a real honor to work with him, and now the partnership is established we plan to work more on some new tracks. As for SOJA - as far as I know we've only played a couple of shows with them, maybe in France? We play with and meet so many artists its amazing how many people we have worked with. Thats how the whole French Conection thing came about, we have been playing in France for many years and have seen how the dub scene has grown, and we wanted to celebrate this with a series of collaborations.

3-What are your inspirations in the beginning of this 2012? What artists and producers do you like? And what you can tell us about the label After Before and the artists involved?

More music, more travels, more collaborations, more bass, more echo, more festivals, more continents - all for 2012. There are so many artist I like, from the JA legends like King Tubby and Lee Perry, to the UK producers like Manasseh to music beyond Dub like rock, indie, folk, clasical - the lot!

4-Do you know music Southamerica? Maybe a 2012 tour?

We plan to be in Brazil in May so that will be our first mission into South America. We were in Mexico a few times - but now we plan our trip to the other side of the equator!

5-Can you write any words of free speach to our radiofans around the world?

Look out for more UK Dub to land in Argentina soon as we continue to spread our message across the globe .... BIG UP>>>>>>
