# 10 x 4 – Voyeur
# **[Kerris Chandler][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}**'s latest signing on his new **MadTech** imprint is the Leeds-based house duo **Voyeur**,** **consisting of Benson Herbert and Leo Picking.
Their acclaimed *Blame It On The Youth* EP was [released][2]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"} this week, and that's why we caught up
with the boys to flash through our small but perfectly formed interview
series [10 x 4][3]. Time to get acquainted, then.
**1 . Your most memorable show?**
Gottwood Festival, playing in a caravan on a beautiful day with
beautiful people!
**2. If you were still in high school, which clique would you belong
to?**
The Grungers.
**3. An album that changed the way you thought?**
Benson: Diggin' in the Crates -- [Buckwild][4]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}
Leo: [NYC][5]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} -- Steve Reid &
Kieran Hebden
**4 . Should music be free?**
A difficult question to answer... I'm all for artists giving away free
tracks; it's a nice idea and a nice thank you to the people who support
them. But not everything should be free, people work hard and when you
buy something you tend to value it more. It makes you listen more
considerably to the music.
**5 What defines your music-making process?**
In general? Listening. Lots of listening. To as many different styles
of music as possible! The mood we're in always has a strong bearing on
the style of music we make.
**6. Latest find on Soundcloud?**
[Kahwe][6]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}
**7. Name three essential artists.**
Detroit Swindle, Robert Glasper, Smallpeople
**8. Indispensable outfit?**
Leo: Brogues and string vest!
B: Hawain shirt, gold chain.
**9. A film or book that greatly influenced your music?**
Book: [The AB Guide to Music Theory][7]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}
Film: *24 Hour Party People*
**10. Your current favorite song?**
Leo: Patti Page -- Old Cape Cod
Benson: Smallpeople -- Salty Days
*Voyeur 'Blame It On A Youth' EP is out this week on MadTech Record.*
