R= Ramon aka Tom P= Pete aka Hills Reporter: Tom & Hills, Ramon and Pete, your debut single is released May 23, How are your feelings right now? R: The spirit is great, this is the first big project. Feels good. P: Im little nervous even though I have done many years of music. After all, its nice to do music with someone professional. Lauri I mean. Reporter: what is the history of Tom & Hills? How did all get started? P: This goes back in beginning of the 2000´s when I met his father. Through is father I met Ramon when he was like 5 years old. You started making music in age of 9. When he was 13 years old I started to get first demos from him Can you listen this? How does it sound?. When he was 15 years old, he started to be so good that I just had to team up with him. Becouse otherwise he would have gone on his own ways! Reporter: You have long musical history. What you have had a chance to do? P: I have done years Synthwave. Synthwave is small sub-genre of dance music. Not many have heard of it. Perhaps the greatest example would be soundtrack of Movie Drive where is R: Kavinsky P:Yes Kavinsky-like music. In USA I have been on small underground label that has released my music! Reporter: Ramon you have also musical background. Your father is Dj Alimo, he is known from famous finnish dance music group Beats and Styles. How much have you been influenced by my fathers music? R: 0%. I have not been influenced by his music. Influences come from neighboring countries such as Sweden. I have released music in Australia. This is my 6th single. I have received good feedback from Avicii´s label and (Swedish House Mafia´s) Axwell´s Axtone records. They both wanted me to go there. Now Universal Music picked us up and its a good thing. Everything is well now. Reporter: EDM is guaranteed to be one of the biggest genres in music business. In Finland there are a lot of producers also. Where is the Tom & Hills place in there? R: Hard question... P: Our main product is radio-friendly music. On each song there will be featuring singer, because it works on radio. Remixes and other mixes are purely club music. Music that we play on our gigs is very different than our radio versions. Reporter: Final question, commercialism, or your own music? P: You can combine both if you do it by heart. R: We don´t do music for the money, we do it because we love it. And when making music comes from heart, everything goes well.
