I realized I hadn’t looked at the crowd at all during my set and knew I was going to learn CDJs the next week. That phase lasted about 6 months before I realized I was just staring at my laptop screen for the whole show. Just me and a bottle of Veuve.Ī long time ago I had to request table space for an APC40 because I was using Ableton to DJ. Now I’ve settled into a nice single bottle of champagne. But then I realized I was drinking like 6 beers a night every weekend, which honestly must have been horrible for me. It’s light, refreshing, easy to drink, and hard to get drunk on. So I switched it up, and from 2012-2014 or so I always requested some sort of Mexican beer. Every night I played I was having like 7 stiff cocktails and getting entirely too faded. If there’s a drink in front of me, I’m gonna drink it quickly. The problem was, and is, that I’m way too restless when I DJ. Jamo Ginger was totally my go-to at all bars from like 2008-2012. So when I started getting booked away from LA to DJ, I asked for a bottle of Jameson.

I’m getting the impression that my rider is very modest, I’m going to fix that. I love flying first class, bottle service at the club, and a good light show when I’m playing… As far as the CO2 blasts, no thank you. There’s actually a few things I like about that life, but would never normally tell anyone. Is there anything about “dat EDM lyfe” that you like?

I’m annoyed by it enough that I actually have a “no cryo” section in my rider. We were recently talking about using cryo (compressed CO2 blasts) at clubs and festivals and how much we hate it. How’d the conversation go? Read on to find out and be sure to catch their b2b at CRSSD this Saturday at The Palms from 5-6PM. In preparation for the festival this weekend we asked the guys if they’d be willing to do something a little different than their run of the mill interview – we asked if they’d interview each other. Goldroom and Le Youth have always been favorites of ours on their own – but after a killer Mixmag Lab tag team session, a Le Youth remix of Goldroom’s “Embrace” fresh off the press, and a b2b set on the books for CRSSD, the musical and creative chemistry is no longer easy to ignore (just check out their Mixmag Lab below).
