#onthe5thday

Ahead of their headline appearance for On the 5th Day on Saturday 17th June, we’re honoured to bring you a teaser of an exclusive interview for On the 5th Day with The Gods Planet (full interview to follow after June 17th’s event).

...........................................................

5th Day: We thoroughly enjoyed both of your sets at our recent On the 5th Day parties, when you each played earlier time slots and set up the nights perfectly, drawing people in with the deeper, more emotional side of your individual sounds. Your collaboration, The Gods Planet will be closing Corsica’s room 1 in June, which we seriously can’t wait for! Can you tell us a little about what can we expect to hear? Claudio PRC: I am very excited to be back at Corsica for the On the 5th Day party, last time was simply beautiful, so this next time is going to be something special which I feel very much. Expect a mantra made of sounds and rhythms, no matter what kind, in which to dive into and lose completely. Ness: Really happy to return to London with you guys. My last solo performance gave me some unforgettable moments! Playing as TGP we’re very focused on the selection of the music and trying to combine each time in different way, I still believe endless ways, it’s gona be an intense wave of pulsating frequencies.

5th Day: We saw you play as The Gods Planet at Corsica in May 2016 and we were blown away, not only by the music and set itself (which was incredible) but by the clear synergy between you, where very little communication was needed yet at the same time, it was clear you were absolutely connected in that moment. How does this work? Is it entirely down to pre-planning? What are each of your roles and how do things work whilst you're actually playing? Claudio PRC: Andrea and me are best friends since long time now, that synergy was born at that time that we met and we took care of it during the years, both in life and in music, so for us it is a natural thing to go in the booth, start to play and follow each other. Of course before playing a gig we check what kind of sounds we want to use, but at the end we let us be lead by the feelings we are getting from that moment. Ness: The only thing we prepare is the starting point (literally the first 2 tracks) then the choice become unpredictable in the stage, we know which tracks works together but we also like to take some risks. Using two mixers while we play allows each other to have more space to build the rhythm structure combined with atmospheres / loops / voices or FX during the set. We’ve redefined this setup during the years and we really feel this is the one we feel more comfortable with at the moment.
