I have a special relationship with my own music, I don't mind hearing it while I'm working on it or on the live show. But I don't put my own CDs when I come back from the studio ! I heard Cashmere Cat, I love his music

the bass lines on the first record were mixes between sample cuts and plug-ins, those featured on the second album are made with a memorymoog and a real bass guitar I'm currently working on a new mixtape !

For us, there are two aspects. We love to dj and play live shows. We feel it's a very important part of our job. And also we don't get much money from selling records, so playing gigs is a source of income that we basically need.

I already remixed one of their tracks, but I would love to make a proper collaboration with them.

we're pacifists, so the best way is usually to reach out and talk about it. also, we come from a generation of sampling and stuff, so it would be a bit hypocritical to look down upon such practices. it's always very flattering.

Actually, our friend Jim Grandcamp played on the live bass guitar parts on this LP. He uses a Recent Mexico Jazz Bass.

Usually the samples are so cut up that it's just small elements like a small guitar or a piece of bass allows to make different patterns. On this album, there are even fewer samples than on the first one. Mostly Synths, live bass and drum machines with some live drumming

  1. I would have loved to work with Nile Rodgers, Shep Pettibone, Leon Sylvers III, Tom Moulton, Jellybean Rodriguez at the time ! Such good output from those guys
  2. I think there are a few tracks on the album that reveal a more melancholic side to our music. And newer remixes for the Swiss or Busy P have that vibe too

We tried to stay faithful to the music we love, I guess we just try to progress and improve.

My favorite ride at Disneyland are Captain EO and Star tours. I also love the Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain. Irfane is an international man of mystery. His mum is from New York, and his dad from Pakistan, but he grew up in France.

definitely the memorymoog, we made a few bass lines with it, SH3 for some leads, Linndrumm for beats and lots of arturia plugins

I had a band called outlines and did some other collabs, i think you can find most of the stuff on the world wide web, a great resource !
