Two members of Front 242, Patrick Codenys and Daniel Bressanutti, discussed their unique approach to production, the importance of paranoia in their work.

On any map of electronic music, Front 242 will inevitably sit somewhere close to the centre. Taking their lead from the British industrial scene of the mid-’70s, the Brussels-based group – which has included seven members over the years – set out on a path of exploration and innovation that has continued to the present day.
