Ferry TayleGuestRuben de RondeHostTonKsGuestum now in the meantime like i said you were doing your own releases and music and stuff like that and then fast forward um at a certain moment you guys were like hey we need to start getting back together was that when you moved back to strasbourg or was it
yeah when it's when i moved back to facebook i have long long years i i've been um I'm doing less music because I'm a cook and a chef.
I'm spending too much time in work and when I came back to Strasbourg, Ferry calls me and let's go back to music again a bit and so i need to to start like by zero with ableton and everything and i because you didn't make music for years no i didn't have the time i have two kids and yeah and so uh then a few years later when i still grow up with ableton and i have more skills so one day he told me let's let's do it something together
yeah
and i think as well like that we're starting to make like music when it came back as well um because i used to organize events in strasbourg as well i put i put him back on the truck in mixing vinyls and everything and i i think during kovit we were like in touch and after kovit when this terrible era passed I told him, I think there is a gap we can fill now with live act.
And because Giuseppe made us realize that we don't need to be surrounded by shitloads of machines right now.
And then I said, I would say, a lot of people can become djs right now because it's um mixing is not it's not that complicated with all the tools they yeah
i think the the the the the importance of a dj is being able to read the crowd which is the most uh skills you can learn than actually mixing and because yeah we musicians we before before being producer so i said let's try to do our own things not let's try to be the the new or the next giuseppe he has his own way of making live up and and of course we are too uh so change a little bit the setup as well but we feel we feel like we can do more yeah we can do more and we want to to like somehow bring the the john michelle vibes on stage um so yeah that's how we decided to to move into live show
but did it start with just one track and see where it goes or was it like okay we're gonna start mirage and this is what it's gonna be from the get-go we started by zero
And then, yeah, all the hassle you can get because it's new even for promoter it's pretty hard to bring a live show yeah so yeah it's trial and error we learned that way and the setup evolved for the last two or three years but we have um and we still have a proper idea in our heads on where we want to go But the point was as well to make as much track as possible.
