Exclusive Interview
In one line, what is “My Eyes” really saying?
EMZMUSICUK: Looks can be deceiving.
KDthePoet: The bigger picture.
What should people expect from the visuals, where are you taking them?
KDthePoet: Countryside all day, country perspective, lets them know we’re not from the city. We’re out here with the Ron’s (bikes).
What do you want people (and the haters) to take from it?
EMZMUSICUK: I want the haters to watch it and think it’s hard, let them know what we’re on… if they like it then they like it, if they don’t, f*** them.
KDthePoet: Authentically where we are from. We’re not tryna be from the city, we are creating our own brand and we are in our own lane. We are creating a new community.
What does DUB 5 represent for you right now?
KDthePoet: We the future, can showcase our talents via DUB 5.
EMZMUSICUK: DUB 5 can show our music to a bigger audience.

What does Swindon do for you personally?
KDthePoet: Swindon keeps me grounded and humble.
Swindon vs London — what’s the difference?
EMZMUSICUK: Swindon gives me comfort, London gets me out my comfort zone.
KDthePoet: DUB 5 shows me the bigger picture. We have experiences of Swindon and bring the creation to DUB 5.
How did Studio A and NYDUS shape the final version?
EMZMUSICUK: Everything I asked for with the tune was done, everything I wanted to tweak, even every sound FX.
KDthePoet: Helped us bring the perspective to life.
Closing
The music video drops at 19:00 today.
Produced by 808 Leek and built in Studio A, the record was recorded, mixed and mastered by NYDUS. This is exactly what the next wave looks like: real place, real perspective, polished execution. Swindon to Central London, no pretending, just two artists building their own lane with DUB 5 behind it.
