or drinks. Furthermore, they also see themselves as best friends who are always together, as of November 2009 they were living together. In contrast to others in the South African musical scene they keep a low profile, with Joseph saying that "being all over the place, trying to impress people does more harm than good". They credit entertainment figures such as Ghetto Ruff founder Lance Stehr or Selimathunzi producer Baby Joe for instilling in them the notion that their "industry is not about the glitz and the glamour" but rather culture and specially South African music. Approach to music making The name Revolution was chosen after lengthy brainstorming, with the idea that they "were going to do different music". They name artists such as Jimmy Dludlu, Oliver Mtukudzi and Jay Hlungwani as influences, adding "if the music is good and the artist or DJ is good we will get inspiration from that" whatever the genre. On a similar note, they have worked with a number of musicians from other African countries to create "an African sound" in a slew of languages, claiming they "don't care about the languages they sing in, because the music will still be captured". Owning both their own recording studio and company (Four Sounds Productions), they have complete artistic control over their output, producing all their songs and managing themselves, and also owning their own video production equipment and company for their music videos. They call reconciling both aspects "difficult" as their artistic side strives to write the perfect song whilst their business side wants them to release the track quicker and use less instruments. To explain their staying power, they point out to their "distinct support base who follow our music all the time", and whose feedback they take on board to craft their sound. This strong fan base declaredly allows them to avoid rushing for commercial success and experiment with different sounds. Similarly, this connection to the mainstream public is said to help them "keep in touch, as does deejaying around the SADC region" which means they are able to notice recent trends before the rest of the industry catches up.
