“Me, Quest, and Anti Social make music to dance to, not music to bang your head to,” explains Silkie. “You can do your own dance, your shoulder dance or nod your head— you don’t have to go all out.” “‘I’ll play the hard aggressive tune at the right time but at the same time I’ll bring it all the way down to something else that’s nice and mellow. The way I see it is a banger is only a banger if the last tune wasn’t. You have to go harder and harder and harder. It’s like heroin: in the end you don’t feel it.”
