Simon Harris

yeah yeah so how easy was it to like access different stuff away from your parents was it like getting things off friends or

very very difficult because it's it wasn't on the radio the radio was everything was everything was just that type of music and and you know how the hell are you going to hear indian tabla music and my father was just like here's a check out this guy um uh ravi shankar and you know indian classical music and i was like whoa this is really crazy shit i liked it you know and uh he didn't he gave it to me because he didn't like it so that's how i i got i got all the stuff my father didn't like and i liked that stuff better

i suppose what's interesting with that sort of thing as well is it's not just the rhythms it's the scale that like the musical scales they use that are a lot different as well aren't they

Yeah, just something in my spirit was like, yo, this is taking me to a different dimension, you know?

Yeah, yeah.

You can do a lot quickly, can't you? I think with Mike as well, like listening to some of his early mixes, you hear just the huge range of influences musically as well.

At what point did you start kind of deconstructing? I guess with you guys, like...

And it's not just you guys and it's not to minimise what anyone else does but I think the way that you guys come at scratching is very different looking at the opportunities with it and the ways that you can do it and with rhythm and stuff like that and even kind of like discordance and like the sort of pitching and stuff like that.

Um, he even produced the bulk of it himself.

He said Simon Harris took the song and reworked it a little bit, but the bones of the beat came from Overlord X himself.

He wasn't the only rapper on Let There Be Rock.

In fact, he does like a little bit of a collaboration.
