End-of-year interview with Prok & Fitch

Tipped by the national media as ‘One’s To Watch’, and Beatport’s Artist tip in 2010, with rave reviews for 2011 Prok & Fitch have more than proved the journalists’ predictions right. The hottest DJ/producer pairing in house music have chalked up an impressive array of achievements over their 5 years working together, with annual worldwide tours including Brazil, North America and Australia alongside their full international DJ diary, a new Ministry of Sound residency looming and releasing both critically acclaimed and dancefloor-approved tracks.

Now focusing on their original productions, Ben Prok and James Fitch’s works have been spread across some of the biggest labels in the business: Axtone, Great Stuff, Toolroom, CR2, Stealth, 303Lovers, Ultra and more. With serious and diverse support from the likes of Carl Cox to the Swedish House Mafia, Pete Tong to Tiesto, there’s few clubs worldwide which haven’t witnessed the Prok & Fitch reaction.

What are the most interesting and significant events that took place in the your (musical) life in 2011

It's always hard looking back on a year because so many things happen but it's been a really great year from lots of perspectives. We've been touring loads and been visiting loads of new countries which is great as it's an indication that our music is reaching these places with some really amazing shows too!! We made a conscious effort this year to do less remixes and focus on our own original material and it seems to have paid off, as the release we've put out have stayed around for longer and gained a lot more support. We've been collaborating in the studio with some really great producers too and have some really strong releases lined up for next year.  We also put out our 1st sample pack with Loopmasters , which we worked our arses off for!!  We've been getting lots of feedback from people saying it's thier 'go to' sample pack when it comes to looking for drums and other bits of inspiration, which shows the hard work paid off.  Our Podcast has really gone from Strength to strength, with over 30.000 subscribers on itunes alone and climbing every day.

Please shed some light on your future plans for the year 2012.

We've got loads of really strong tracks lined up, both for our own Floorplay label and plenty of others: Great Stuff, Toolroom, 303Lovers and Stealth. We're also going to be mixing a compilation for Stealth which is going to have loads of exclusive tracks on from ourselves and other artists, plus some revisits to a few of our older tracks on the label. Should be really exciting!!
We wanted to give something away to our fans so (painfully) decided to give away our 'Kosheen - Hide you' bootleg for a 'like' on our Facebook fan page. We had soooo many people asking for it, so we decided to give something back for all the support, go grab and have yourself a very merry xmas!  We hope to see you in the near future for a few shots of Sambuca!!

Prok & Fitch have been rinsing their passports lately too – Rocking mainstages at many a festival, and playing at some of the most prestigious clubs in the world: Amnesia in Ibiza, Sankeys in Manchester, Pacha in Sao Paolo and Circus in Montreal. It’s difficult to find a country that they haven’t visited in the past 12 months.

Closer to home, the boys have also fulfilled one of their lifetime ambitions: to spin in the Wild Fruit arena at Brighton’s infamous Pride festival, which attracts over a quarter of a million revellers over one weekend, and a residency at the Ministry of Sound in London starting in 2012.

In the DJ booth, it’s all about the groove with these guys, and from the dancefloor it’s all eyes to the energy filled, 4 deck turntablism that’s as much as a show as it is an aural explosion. Whether they are on a line up with the underground crew keeping it deep and dark or playing in the big main rooms for the masses, their versatility and acceptance across genres has been key to their success to date!
