We recently met Above and Beyond in Ibiza. This is the best of the chat from the two hours we spent with Jono and Tony on a sultry July evening in Ibiza Town.

The sexual tension in this interview is off the chart!

quote:

As I arrive he’s sitting on a dark wood chair, sunglasses and sandals against the backdrop of the buildings and hills of Ibiza.

quote:

Jono is quick and intelligent and has a bright positivity reflected in his mercurial sharpness. Far from techy or geek, he has a modest honesty which seems to compliment the more extravagant natures of Tony. I begin to get a feel to the strange symbiosis between the two, the steam in the creative piston as the juxtaposition of their styles simply seems to meld.

quote:

At this point I decide to mention that Oakenfold was the producer on the Happy Mondays masterpiece, ‘Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches.” “Interesting” Tony fires back at me with the faint damning distain [sic] of a lacklustre reply. We’re still in that feeling each other out stage and despite his warmth I get the slight feeling he’s testing me. I make the cat whine “meow” noise back and smile at Tony, and he smiles back. There’s no power or control issue, it’s a playfulness.

quote:

“I like you already” Tony purred approvingly.

quote:

“One of the thing that’s great about working with Jono and Paavo is we all have our ways of doing our thing in the middle.” “If you feel really strongly about something, you become the boss for just that moment” Jono tells us about the relationship dynamic within Above and Beyond.

quote:

We talk about Poker and I get off on a rant about how good I am. I make the boys laugh with a story about playing a mad bluff and the bravado I front when pulling it. It’s not like I’m trying to impress however, it’s getting to the stage where we’ve talked a lot. The guys have given up a lot of themselves, and it’s not just about writing an interview. It’s about meeting someone and sharing something of yourself, after all, one past the music that really is in my opinion what these guys are about.

This is the greatest interview ever

quote:

It's the ultimate legendary night.

quote:

There’s no power or control issue, it’s a playfulness. Almost as if he’s checking I’m reflexive and open enough to travel with him on the journey through his treasured life experiences.

quote:

The relationship between Jono and Tony, in many ways such different people working in a way where they both understand each other in a practiced manner.

quote:

With the guys you get a feel there’s a genuine interest in people, a deeper love, and I’d say that’s what makes them winners.

My god
