Chad Hugo is fully into electronic music, he knows his music like nobody, The Neptunes is an equal partnership but most people recognise Pharrell. Chad is into Depeche Mode and used to collect Plus 8 stuff and concocts amazing beats. You can hear him on the new Bryan Zentz album playing sax, too, and Bryan gets props in the Clones credits. Chad is probably my biggest hero outside of techno/house at the moment, him and Pharrell. Pharrell's Frontin' is my single of the year. I just love the chord changes and the spacy arrangement and jazz feel. I wish Carl Craig could remix it. The Clones album is total genius.
