"Total Recall is the first record where we kinda hit our stride as far as how he and I work together. And on the tech side of things we use Dropbox because he lives in Brooklyn I'm in Chicago, so I'm constantly working on something in Chicago and putting it in the Dropbox and it sends right over to him he wakes up in the morning and it’s just right there. He can see what I did, and edit, and kinda work in that session. We use Logic as a music program. So yeah so that was really cool and I feel like the the EP - that’s the first piece of work that we've made with that kind of structure. And it’s more streamlined. Our sound used to be kinda all over the place but like now we have a rhythm going down and we know who does what, it’s just kind of narrowed it down for us."

"I have all my systems backed up to Dropbox and all the plug-ins are on iLok, so if everything fails and I need to borrow or buy a new computer, I can easily download my systems from Dropbox and I’m good to go."
