First time you fell in love with a crowd, and most recent time?
The first time I fell in love with a crowd was at Beyond Wonderland in 2014 as a fan in GA, and the most recent was my first Red Rocks headline last weekend!
Is it better to speak or to die? Explain.
I will always choose to speak what's on my mind and put those thoughts out into the world. I’d rather regret what I said than forever wish I shared more, and to die knowing I had more to say would be terrible.

First time you fell in love with a crowd, and most recent time?
The first time I truly fell in love with a crowd was in San Diego, where I felt genuine love and presence during my set- it was an epic feeling. More recently, the love was literally pumping through the room and deeply felt during my Boxpac Project set in Salt Lake City.
Where do you feel music in your body the most?
My legs and up my spine, I get goosebumps every easily even when laying in bed working on music.
Who’s your dream B2B and why?
Fred Again. I feel like we’d have such a killer set together and I would love to see his reactions to my drops!
2016 or 2026 and why?
2016 I loved the simplicity back then, technically everything was fine, we didn't need much more. I'd just want the CDJ 3000’s.

Sun, Moon, Rising of Sabrina, Karol G, and Justin
Sun definitely Justin. Moon, I'd say Karol G, and Rising in Sabrina.
Biggest career milestone?
The biggest career moment for me was dropping my album last year. It's called Protect As at All costs. Go listen to it.

This is a Nigerian artist. He's still bubbling under but he is very dope. His name is TUFF KING and I wish him the best.

Biggest career milestone?
We've both achieved a lot but we have to agree performing together at Coachella is different.
2016 or 2026 and why?
2016 no brainer. We’re getting old... it just felt like a simpler time.
First time you fell in love with a crowd, and most recent time?
Every crowd is special in its way but when people let go of their phones and dance in the moment is when it really sticks out.
Is it better to speak or to die? Explain.
Better to let the music say it.

First concert you ever went to?
Growing up in LA, the county fair was a huge thing for my family. My grandfather would take us every year and I remember my first concert at the fair was a tribute Led Zeppelin band, and it honestly changed my 10 year old self.
Where do you feel music in your body the most?
I have to feel the music in my feet first. Being a dancer first, if it doesn’t make me want to dance, I don’t want to play it. I need to feel the bass shake my bodily foundation haha and also a beat that makes me automatically want to 2 step.
Who’s your dream B2B and why?
Omg my dream B2B would be with Sara Landry! Not many know but I have a true passion for hard styles and I just resonate so much with her taste and production. She’s such an badass and her journey with music feels so organic, I really just look up to her as a person as well. And she’s half Latina like me!
Who has been your biggest musical influence thus far?
There’s too many to choose from. But collectively, I will say my Baile World community! All the djs I meet and play with through my party inspire me so much! The music they put me on to, how they work the crowd, and stay true their sound - all things that I value as an artist. And the inspo comes from people I love, it can’t get better than that!

Who has been your biggest musical influence thus far?
That’s tough because our influences come from a lot of different places, but a few that really shaped us are Drake, Sade, Daft Punk, and Kanye West. Jon Brion’s work with Fiona Apple completely changed how I think about production and arrangements, and Hans Zimmer has been a huge influence on how I think about emotion and scale in music.
Any favorite festival memories?
Every festival feels special in its own way, but a few stand out. Being from San Francisco, playing Portola in 2022 as our first big post-pandemic show felt huge. Our first Coachella in 2023 at the Gobi stage was unforgettable, and Portola that same year had one of our favorite crowds ever.
Who’s an up-and-coming artist you’ve been noticing?
Blank Sense — super talented producer/artist from Miami and someone people should definitely pay attention to. M.E.H — she’s from Chicago and incredibly dope.
First time you fell in love with a crowd, and most recent time?
We fall in love with crowds all the time, but Portola in 2022 was one of the first times we really felt that “wow” moment. Most recently, The Do LaB at Coachella in 2026 was incredible — we played unreleased music and the crowd reaction was unreal.
X Club, a London-based duo made up of Australian natives Ben Clarke and Jesse Morath, became a club staple after attracting the attention and support of Mall Grab. Their precise high-energy sound is steeped in the 90’s techno, trance, and drums. Launching their own record label, HIDE THE JUNK, the pair create titillating beats that place the body into a trance.
Biggest career milestone?
Most recently, we played an 8,000-capacity warehouse in Australia, which is home for us, but honestly, being here at Coachella and playing the Do LaB is pretty insane. As two Australian guys, this wasn’t really what we thought would happen three years ago. So being here at Coachella feels surreal. Coachella is such a huge name - it’s a real pinnacle in music - and it wasn’t necessarily something we had on our radar. That makes it even more special. It’s a bit surprising to see ourselves here, playing on such an amazing stage at such an incredible time. It’s definitely nerve-wracking, but it also feels like a major peak for us
Who’s your dream B2B and why?
Dream back-to-back is probably The Chemical Brothers. Recently, we saw them play at Portola Festival in San Francisco, and we’ve been listening to them forever. But seeing them play that DJ set was really inspiring for us. As a duo, and also just listening to their music and how diverse they are, seeing an act like that play a DJ set—god, it was just incredible. That would be really cool for us.
Who has been your biggest musical influence thus far?
To be honest, we’ve had so many musical influences over our lifetimes. We both grew up in music, but recently it’s definitely been Massive Attack, for sure—especially with the new music we’re writing.I think Massive Attack are the ones we look up to the most in terms of interesting, cool electronica, dance music, and hip hop—an electronic group that really breaks down genre barriers. That’s something we’ve always been proud of too. We really look up to that kind of fusion of things, and no one has really done what they’ve done.
Who’s an up-and-coming artist you’ve been noticing?
Up-and-coming is hard because there are so many, but we’ve been listening to this girl from Australia named Purient. She’s in a band called OK EG, which has that kind of downtempo electronic sound, but she also has a really cool side project that we really love. She’s pushing a sound that she loves, and I think it’s a sound we’re starting to hear a lot more of, but she’s definitely very ahead of the curve and really talented.
British DJ, vocalist, and music producer Eliza Rose is best known for her hit song "B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All)."

First time you fell in love with a crowd, and most recent time?
Glastonbury, everyone is just so free and up for it. Recently all my gigs in the US were great, Nowadays in New York was brilliant – no phones, proper dancing.
Who’s your dream B2B and why?
At the moment it would be Donna Dee, one of her tracks is featured on my fabric mix. She is an old school UKG legend.
2016 or 2026 and why?
2016, because I live for nostalgia
Where / how do you find new music?
