When We Dip: Residents Series: The Willers Brothers interview + mix

The fourth edition of Resident Series sees When We Dip crew make the short trip across to the English capital. London’s Willers Brothers certainly fit the bill to a tee. Currently ensconced at Egg London, one of the UK’s pivotal dance music beacons, the brothers have a keen appreciation for the important role played by a resident dj..

WWD: To kick things off, tell us a little bit about how you got involved with Egg London. Was a residency there a goal for you guys early in your career?

Well, we first went to the club as clubbers in 2011 and then returned a fair few times before we played as we loved the quirkiness about the place along with the music, at the time they had a little beach in the garden which was something different we hadn’t experienced in a club before . We always knew in the back of our minds it would be a dream to play there one day, fast forward 4 years and we are now residents.

The opportunity came to play after a dj competition in 2012 we entered, nothing really came of the actual comp but one of the judges liked what we played then got in touch and asked us to play later on in the year. It went really well and he invited us back to play new years eve and from then on it flourished.

WWD : What makes the vibe there so special?

There is many things that make the vibe so special at Egg with all 3 floors having a great atmosphere, from the crowd different on the Friday and the Saturdays, to the lighting, to the soundsystem…..

Our favourite room to play is the Terrace, which is the middle floor. Always a great place to play whether it’s warming up or closing we always have such fun. Though to be honest any room is fantastic as now they have just upgraded the sound so now the whole club boasts the custom built FlipSide Soundsystem which really does make the difference . The club also has 3 different smoking areas which gives you a chance to relax away from the music for a short while before you get ready to go at it again!

WWD : Can you tell us about the first time you were asked to play there?

It was November 2012 as we mentioned in the first question, it was after the competition and we played in the loft which is a smaller room at the top of the club, but it went really well with a great crowd reaction and atmosphere

WWD: As residencies go you’ve managed quite a long spell, what’s your secret in a world where sometimes a residency may only comprise of a few months and a small number of dates?

Well I think its just where we can call home in London!
There are 2 main residents at the club which is us and also Kyle E, we normally warm the night up he normally closes as we play more deeper house and he plays more techno so it works really well for the club.
