# 10 x 4 – Shelter Point
While there's no shortage of garage-informed production duos with youth
on their side and a fetish for yearning, treated sonics,
Nottingham's Shelter Point have certainly caught our
ears. And we're not the only ones -- their EP Forever For Now
will be coming out later this month on Scuba's respected
**Hotflush** label, a departure for a label perhaps more acquainted with
the grittier end of the dancefloor. Essentially, If you've a soft spot
for **Breton**, **Mount Kimbie** or the watery sonics of **Joy
Orbison**, we reckon you'll be into these boys. We decided to pose Liam
and Robin a few character-testing questions to help us get better
acquainted.
**1. Is any aspect of fame important and if yes, why's that? **
Liam: I think getting our music heard by a larger audience is the
important part. When we're doing something that we love, and people are
appreciating it, that's awesome.
**2. If you were still in high school, which clique would you belong
to?**
Robin: Liam used to bully me back in school. He once backed me into a
corner and whipped me with a tie until I cried.
L: I'm not that person anymore.
**3. An album that changed the way you thought?**
R: **Flying Lotus --** *Los Angeles*
L: **Radiohead --** *The Bends*
**4. What does underground and mainstream mean to you?**
R: People tend to take you more seriously when you're part of the
underground scene nowadays, though there isn't much underground in
Coventry.
L: There's a lot of great music in both mainstream and underground.
Underground is slowly becoming more and more mainstream in a way, but I
don't tend to label music in that way, I just listen to it for what it
is.
**5. What defines your music-making process?**
R: We struggle to make a tune without Pop and fags.
L: Pepsi or Coke, either of those will suffice. We reward ourselves with
victory cigarettes once a tune is finished.
**6. Latest find on Soundcloud?**
L: Anything by **Lapalux** or **T.I.P**, they both continue to amaze me
with each tune.
R: My flatmate Matt has spent the last 6 months making some spacey
triphop r'n'b. He goes under **Warner o**n Soundcloud.
**7. Name three essential artists.**
Both: **Wu-Tang Clan**, **Jeff Buckley**, **Dilla**.
**8. Indispensable outfit?**
R: Liam's homemade sleeveless jackets.
L: I'm definitely going to throw them all away, they're shit. Robin's
Casio Watch/Calculator combo is the cherry on the cake for any outfit he
wears.
**9. Do you believe in the paranormal?**
L: I was sleeping a couple of nights ago, and I'm certain that something
pulled my toe, so I dipped under the covers.
R: Sometimes, depends how much I've smoked.
**10. One thing you can't live without?**
R: The internet.
L: Pokemon.
