As one half of dance giants Orbital, Paul and brother Phil have produced some of the biggest electro tunes of the past 30 years, some of the most memorable stage shows and some of the bitterest rows.

The rave pioneer pair make the warring Gallagher brothers look like monks.

The relationship between the Hartnoll boys got so bad that they split in 2004 only to reform in 2008.

They split again in 2014 but returned last year and produced their first album in six years with Monsters Exist.

Its a real return to form for the pair, after the aptly titled Wonky in 2012 which was a mixed bag. This is all House drive, techno precision, immersive rave tunes

The pair are playing some select live gigs this summer across Europe and including Kendal Calling next month.

But they still don’t talk much - either on or off stage.

“We still argue,” says Paul, cheerily. He’s the one who does all the interviews.

“About the usual stuff- nothing is ever good enough.

“It’s only because I can’t hear him that we don’t argue on stage. He tries to talk to me and I point to my headphones.”

The pair tend start their songs separately, then come together to finish them.

“I can write on my own quite happily, then go through it together at the end and some tunes we do write together and all is well in the garden.”

He points out that Lennon and McCartney didn’t write all their songs together and weren’t always best mates.

“Being just brothers is fine,” he says.

“The problems come up, as you would expect, when we work together. We have different ideas on how things should be.”

The two began making music in 1989 after discovering how simple it was to make electronic music.

“I had been through drums and guitar. Singing was the only thing I had never done and I’m not going to start now,” explains Paul.

“It was the ability to compose and do the whole thing that appealed, the most important piece of equipment was the four-track recording deck, not the synth or drum machine.

“House music came along and I thought it was really good but that we could improve it. In all innocence I thought ‘why not do this?’”
