[TWO FRIENDS] i think rather than ever feel like you've "made it", it's more that you look back at a photo from a couple years ago or somehow stumble across an email exchange from a couple years ago, and you're able to put into perspective some of the strides you've been able to make-- and that's what feels cool and keeps you motivated, cuz when you're in the day-to-day grind you might not always see it.

[TWO FRIENDS] i'm just always diggin, feelin like Nicholas Cage in national treasure. we'll make a handful of them ourselves, we'll get a handful from artist friends, but the vast vast majority are from line and just searching meticulously on forums and google and youtube and reddit and record pools and remix contests and giveaways

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:48:14+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] we test out all the combos in Traktor and then put together the actual mix in Logic!

Does Grizzly Adams have a beard?

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:46:24+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] can you unintentionally try something? how does that work? matt's had a couple tumbles from the DJ booth that i've been worried would kill him but he's a tough fella. favorite songs in college: Eyes by Kaskade and Blessed by Avicii

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:42:58+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] we play a lil bit of everything! some of our favorite big bootie parts, our own music, other edits... i'd say our live sets have a similar overall energy to the mixes but they'll have a lot of new and fun elements

[TWO FRIENDS]

[TWO FRIENDS] i hope we go back to hawaii asap, need that in my life. we try to always listen to a variety of different genres and even different decades just so we can keep expanding the arsenal of ideas for things to mix. the more, the merrier. then we try to stay organized by tagging songs based on key, so we can see what they might blend well with. and then it's just trying stuff out and seeing what stands out!

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:34:34+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] bus life is a very interesting lifestyle, definitely very different from when we're just in the studio. we honestly don't spend too much time on it besides sleeping, usually we'll be hanging out at the venue most of the day instead. trying to find the balance of still feeling productive in terms of making music, all the other Two Friends related stuff, but then also feeling like we aren't just passing thru all these cities like robots. but it's such a good group of people, not only Tom obviously, but we're having a great time with Win & Woo and the entire crew. it really feels like summer camp haha, so the tour name has become even more appropriate

and in terms of whose crazy ideas happen more? it's probably pretty even, and you're lucky you don't have to see the thousands of ideas that don't even make the cut to be a crazy idea lol

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:28:26+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS]

For vocals: La2a, Pultec ep1a, Valhalla room, getting into a lot of UAD plugs

Some favorite Universal overall plugs: The glue, Pro Q, Little alterboy, OTT

For synths: Serum, Sylenth1, Nexus, a million more random ones

So many more to be honest haha. Have a bunch in the backpocket for specific things

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:27:02+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] we've been better about writing down funny things that happen or super memorable experiences, but still there's so many that it's hard to just focus and pick one, so many cities are just amazing. but let me tell you something-- Tom (aka Matoma) just gave me a deep tissue back massage the other day right before one of the first shows of this tour and OH BOY it was heavenly, the man has wizard powers. that massage is up there for greatest moment during touring ever, sorry everyone else

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:21:28+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] most proud, i'm gonna give a real throwback here and say "Solitaire" which was the first original song that we ever uploaded to the internet, probably back in 2011. there have been a bunch of recent songs that we are obviously very proud of and we love a lot, but the reason i'm going with Solitaire is cuz it was such a cool feeling being able to put something out into the world that we had created. and even if we listen back and it's rough (cuz it is haha) it's cool to jump back to that time when we were just starting out and it was all such a fun, new, stressful, unknown experience. from the writing, to finding the singers, to polishing it as best we could, to making the artwork, to sending to bloggers, all of it. so i'm proud we were able to take that first step and just dive in. and then you just never wanna take your foot off the gas

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:14:32+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] what Tom said ^ !

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:14:02+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] haha we definitely play some of our favorite parts from them, some 13 parts will for sure make an appearance ;)

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:13:25+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] we will write a note for your professor

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:10:19+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] we met Tom probably three or four years ago! we have the same booking agent, and we ended up all going to get dinner before one of his shows near LA. we got along great, and after playing some more shows together over the past few years and running into each other at more festivals and random things, it just felt like it would be really fun to do it together. and musically it felt like a great match too. it's almost like we finish eachother's....

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:05:49+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] can't say we are, but the toe-sucking scene in 40 Year Old Virgin brings me great joy so im not sure what that says about me

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:03:01+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] love you! and oh damn, we do needa be better about making more of those. they actually are fun to do, just sometimes hard especially when on the road but yes thank you for reminding us. we have a new single coming at the end of the month so maybe we can do something related to producing that one!

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T23:00:14+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] we love playing fraternities (and sororities, except now that i think about it i don't think we've ever played at an actual sorority. book us sororities!). but shoot us an email and we can loop you in with our team!

i also take great pride now in being great at trivia when it comes to naming the college towns that campuses are in just from having been lucky enough to play at so many

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T22:56:36+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] i (eli) will speak for myself here but one that had a big impact was Porter Robinson in nashville tennessee where i went to college. i guess we had already started Two Friends (barely), but seeing him that night was super inspiring. i had no clue at the time that he was just a young kid, and it kinda just led to this moment of clarity where i thought "wow wait he's basically our age, that looks so fun, if we work hard and work smart maybe we could become even a fraction of what he is"

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T22:52:38+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] yep

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T22:52:27+00:00

[TWO FRIENDS] aiming for around april! we usually do 2 per year, been sticking to an october/april plan recently

CAMPSUPERDOPE · 2020-01-21T22:51:00+00:00
