HYPETRAK Interview UZi and Discuss Their Lo-Fi Style

It’s hard to find some solid information on you guys. When did you decide to move from video to audio?

We actually started to do music before we were shooting music videos. However, the thing was that every director was basically flaking on us while shooting our music videos. So we just went ahead and bought a camera and started playing around with that. Once we saw the potential of growing as videographers and growing into the culture as artists, we decided together that we would not drop any music until the timing was right and we would actually be seen by people.

Your video style is very VHS-infused. Your music kind of sounds like that too.

Gabe: Our sound is pop. We try to make pop music for cool people, not pop for kids or soccer moms. We want to make music for kids that know what’s up.

How would you define pop music?

Gabe: That’s a really good question. It is a certain type of sound, just like trap music or country music are certain types of sound. With our songs, we take a lot of the same textures that you hear in Top 40 songs, and then Mike arranges them in a way…

Mike: We try to use the same structures that you can find in a standard pop song.

Gabe: We try to make it more sophisticated and cool.
