Enemy, Gigantor and Knick are Evol Intent — straight out of Atlanta, Georgia, rockin’ out proper! After dropping their recent EP “Police State” and “Assemble the Monster” on Dieselboy’s “The Human Resource” these guys are shaking the rafters. Here’s what Enemy had to say ...

What and who turned you on to drum ’n bass?
Enemy - We all grew up playing in bands and into the punk and hardcore side of things. Once we discovered electronic music, we were drawn to the aggressive high tempo of jungle and the glitchy experimental weirdness of IDM and triphop.

When did all of you get into the production side?
We joined up around 2001 and started producing tracks together after a few remix trades.

When did everything begin to come into place, is there anyone responsible for the Evol Intent of today?
Most of the big dominoes started falling once we remixed “Where’s the Score” by DJ Hidden and Slacknote (ei005). That caught the attention of the big players in the scene and worldwide fans via Internet message boards and helped us make some really good connections. “Barcode 002” – Corrupt Cops remix / 7 Angels with 7 Plagues was another big milestone. That led to signing with Renegade Hardware and then working with Human Imprint and so on.

Release after release seems to be the reality of Evol Intent. What is in the formula; where can producers get this jungle juice?
Personally when I go into making a track, I’m not looking for a ‘filler’ or a B-side. My approach is to make something that someone who isn’t into drum ’n bass would find interesting and be into. Something that would make your uncle or grandma go “oh, that’s hot.” Sadly there is no jungle juice. Just make what you love, keep it interesting, different and perfect your mixdowns.

Tell us about Evol Intent the label ...
We are bringing on some newer names, trying to break them in and get a ‘family’ oriented community started with our artists. We’ve got a lot of big things planned with steady solid releases. Ewun is also wrapping up an EP for us that is ridiculous, definitely watch out for that.

So Dieselboy’s “The Human Resource” just dropped this past June of 2006. Tell us how you got involved doing Disc Two of that release “Evol Intent Assemble the Monster,” and just how monstrous is it?
We have been working closely with Dieselboy over the last couple years, doing some tunes and remixes for Human Imprint. I’m not sure why or how he got the idea to ask us to mix the second disc, but we were very excited when he asked us to come on board for the project. We actually had to put the monster down after we assembled it. It just had really bad behavior problems and none of us wanted to deal with it. Luckily, we caught the assembly of it on tape so we can cherish those loving moments forever.

Are there any upcoming projects involving Evol Intent that can be disclosed?
A full-length album that will be released on 4x12” vinyl and 2xCD, all new material. Nonstop worldwide touring: hitting Europe about every two months, Australia/NZ again in the next year and of course a steady rotation in the states.
