Agent L: I started listening to electronic music in my early teens with stuff like New Order and Depeche Mode. I remember the first couple of Orbital albums being a big influence as well. I really didn't start going to parties in Dallas until the late nineties when Decibel was around. Back then, it didn't matter who was playing or what kind of music was being played. My friends and I just went because it was something different and exciting… soon after that I was hooked.

Prajna: I started in on music playing guitar and spent most of my teens in various garage bands, but kept finding myself drawn more towards the drums and soon realized how important the beat was. Initially, drums were just something to keep time behind my riffs, but it soon became clear that what I was looking for in music came from a different angle than most rock and metal. I got a drum machine and started making my own beats, and eventually, albums like Prodigy's Experience and FSOL's Accelerator really opened my eyes as to what you can do with a good funk beat and monster basslines while keeping it raw and interesting. I started spinning and then heard Adam Freeland's Coastal Breaks and I was hooked. For me, breakbeat is the combination of everything I've ever wanted to hear in a track before.

Agent L: DJ-wise, I started out spinning progressive house and techno. It quickly evolved into breakbeat after buying early Botchit releases. Nowadays, I spin mainly breakbeat but also spin d'n'b and a little tech house and hip hop as well.

Prajna: I've learned the importance of creating a unique and individual sound. Everyone starts off by emulating their heroes, but it's important that you move on and try to forge something no one else is doing. Also, my taste in music has really opened up, so I'm appreciating a lot more styles than I did when I first started out.

Agent L: When we started, Bass Pressure Radio was all about playing the records we wanted to hear that we couldn't hear anywhere else. We've been at it for a few years now with the station and things have really started to flourish. We went from no one listening to over 3000 listeners a month from all over the globe and growing. I think the success of the station has coincided with the re-emergence of breakbeat as a global scene over the last few years. The main thing is that Bass Pressure has always been about a couple of people getting together, kicking back, and playing some great records… that's it. If we weren't having a good time doing it, we definitely wouldn't have lasted this long. We've seen loads of stations come and go in our time. Another thing we've always done is have guest DJ's spin on the station. We do a six hour show every Saturday and usually have a guest each week with almost every genre represented. There are loads of talented DJ's in Dallas that are really passionate about the music and we enjoy giving them a wider audience by giving them the opportunity to spin on the show.

Prajna: You could sum it up by saying it's two guys drinking beer and spinning, but we've also tried to create a way for us to experiment with sounds and mixes in a live environment that's not in a club. Since the show usually runs 6 hours, it gives us a lot of time to just play and you end up really getting three different styles of breaks between our two individual sets and the tag teaming portion. We came into this with a DIY attitude and set no creative limitations on ourselves, and the most important issue is keeping it interesting. At the same time, we feel like we're doing our best to represent the DFW sound by bringing in a local guest every week, regardless of what genre they play. In the end, it's not about "breaks" or "house" or "DnB", but it really is all about good music and meeting cool people.
