As I promised. More interviews will come. And here you are, the first one has already arrived! I had the chance to interview Jeroen who forms together with his friend Simon, the Dead Disco Drivers. They’re 19 and 18 years of age and both live in Kortrijk, Belgium. Enjoy the interview and don’t forget to check out two of their tracks.
Interview:
1. So guys! To start off with an original question Tell me. How did you get in the electronic music scene? And how did you get into it together?
Well that second question is quite easy. We are neighbours, we went to the same school, we’re friends and during these years we developed the same taste for music. Simon grew up in a very musical family. Together we took our first steps in the music world. I did piano lessons for 4 years, Simon did 11 or 12, I’m not sure. Anyway you can say we have a musical background. right?
While I quited doing piano, Simon kept improving his skills with keyboards, pianos and such. And I started experimenting with DJing about 2 years ago. Now one year back we both really fell in love with electro/techno and … what you think? Dead Disco Drivers was born. Then with support from friends it didn’t take long before we made our first track.
2. So … you have already done some small gigs I suppose?
Yeah! Small… like 200 people or something. We’re not so big yet.
3. You will! So I think I can ask this. What do you guys personally love about playing for a crowd?
Hands going up and down! OOOORGASME!
4. For sure! And you guys get an orgasme from whom?
Dude! Carmen Electra!!!
5. Understandable! But I mean who’re you guys’ big idols?
Wow, that’s a big list. But of course … Daft Punk! Their synths, their way to build up a song … they’re just so unique live … their creativity … I mean there’re not many who can bring up their live performance to that level … if there are.
But we’ve got like 1000s of idols. Vitalic, Boys Noize, Justice, Surkin, Crookers, Bloody Beetroots, Brodinski, shameboy, The Subs, Soulwax and of course Goose (They’re also from Kortrijk)!
6. This might be a hard question for new djs/producers like you guys. But who would be for Dead Disco Drivers the ‘perfect match’ to produce a track with?
Yeah, that’s pretty hard to tell. If I really need to choose I would say … MSTRKRFT. Simon says … haha … okay Simon thinks Shameboy would be a perfect match. We’d WANT to be a perfect match with so many artists.
7. One night with a willing Carmen Electra or playing with along side Daft Punk?
Playing with Daft Punk in the famous piramid in Paris while Carmen is giving a blowj*b!!!
ORGASMMMEE!!!
Beatiful end!
Thanks for the interview guys! I wish you the best of luck for your further music career! Hope to see you on a gig soon!
