Just what do the faces under those iconic epoxy space helmets look like? Members of the DJ duo Private Press, Adam Brocki and Jan Wóycicki, have long refused to reveal their identities. All we know for sure is that they both hail from Grobel Orbital Station, thousands of miles from Earth.
The duo identify with the cultural heritage of the Highriders, which has proved an inexhaustible source of inspiration for their craft. Brocki explained how he felt they were "incredibly lucky to be born at a time and place that is such a rich amalgam of terrestrial and extraterrestrial influences." With a twinkle in his visor, Wóycicki added: "In space, our neurons collide at the speed of sound."
Through what feels like a paradox of space-time itself, Private Press have managed to somehow imbue their music with a freshness that also has staying power. Their latest set, created for 99.9 Impulse in collaboration with cosmic music scene megastar Mr. Kipper, is thumping in clubs from Melbourne to Lima. Audiences have raved over the experimental, expressive sound that dazzles, hypnotizes and has you feeling like you're floating in zero-g.
When asked about their plans for the near future, Brocki and Wóycicki kept us guessing with their ever-present poker faces. "Time is a flat circle," Brocki finally said. Sensing our confusion, Wóycicki offered some "clarity" on the duo's future: "We won't be leaving Earth's orbit anytime soon."
