So how did you first get interested in house and electronic music?
Victorien: It's a long story, honestly. I'm not talking about Flo but for myself I've been playing music when I was 8 years old for my parents. At the time it was more like disco and stuff like that. When I was 17 I got my own equipment and played for family parties, birthdays and weddings. When I met Flo we really wanted to do stuff together and so eventually we build ourselves and became really big at parties.

How does your creative process looks like when you're doing a track from start to finish?
Victorien: So for a while we were looking for singers and writers or you can say they were also looking for us. So we met with the artists online and talked. We loved the music and had an idea we could to do together and on Skype we collaborated together. We wanted to focus more on what we played live and produced more on what people like at the moment. Now the process is a lot different I'm just enjoying a lot of funk music recently I'm getting inspiration from samples from the 1970's. Adding disco funk and building a track from there. It's my new groove but the main thing is honestly keeping the roots of deep house and bringing full of melody. All we want to share is joy and happiness if people are appearing like that on my set that's all I want.

The crowds were huge at Outside Lands Music & Arts festival:

What's going through your mind when you're doing a live set how do you interact with your fans as you're playing your music?
Victorien: I'm just having fun I want the people in front of me to have a lot of fun. I want to bring people into my vibe and slowly build off of it. We really want to build our sets to start slow and go up like one of our tracks called control, which is just awesome people love it. I look on the app and I see 500 people saying they want to see us it feels good we're from almost across the world and 500 people like us. Today was awesome to see how people reacted. It feels really good

What advice to do you have for aspiring DJs in their own careers?
Victorien: The biggest advice is stick to what you really love and don't do what people want you to do it's easy to go with the wave but stick for what you believe in. When you're young you want to do what's trending because it's the thing, but when you grow up you change. Think about the future don't think about the right moment. Ask yourself, "How do you see yourself in 5 years?" Every time I produce a track and if I listen to this track I ask myself in 5 years will I like it or not? So try to set a future and just stick to what you really love.
