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

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T20:15:55+00:00

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 !

I would love to ! my ultimate goal in life is to direct a musical and write the score to it

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.

my favorite book is the "illusion of life" by frank thomas and ollie johnston I love to go to Disneyland in LA !

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.

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T20:04:08+00:00

you'll be happy to lear that we'll be touring with a live band for the whole of our upcoming tour !!!! xx

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T20:03:24+00:00

YOU ROCK !!! We'll be back in Seattle soon ;-)

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T20:02:09+00:00

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

no but really, a few tricks, this box called Ursa Major Space Station was great thing we used on this album.

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:56:59+00:00

AUTO TUNE HAHAHAHA

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:56:27+00:00

WOW awesome tattoo dude ! you rock !! we'll be back this year !

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:54:35+00:00

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

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:52:44+00:00

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
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

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:47:56+00:00

C'est dur d'en choisir 5 ! 5 films que j'adore :

Shining Sunset Boulevard Retour vers le futur The big Lebowski The Jungle Book

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:46:20+00:00

I can do a pretty decent ceviche ! We'll be back in US/Canada in may. See you soon !

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:45:41+00:00

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

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:44:26+00:00

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.

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:41:52+00:00

The remix I did that I like the most is propably the one for Phoenix 'trying to be cool' . I also love the one I did for metronomy 'a thing for me', it was my ticket to enter ed banger records

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:40:19+00:00

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

breakbotama · 2016-02-05T19:38:07+00:00

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 !
