Hi Guys, thanks for joining us. How has your start to the year been and please tell us something interesting about your day today? Rodriguez Jr. Hello! Always a pleasure talking with you guys. I had a beautiful start into 2024. January and February are months I like to keep quiet in order to spend time in the studio and with my family, so I only played a few shows in Mexico and in the USA where I live now. It’s an important time of the year because I finally get to relax a bit, mentally digest the previous tour and prepare about upcoming projects with my team. KIKO: Hello everyone, my start to the year has been very enriching for me since I was able to finish this album 'Digital Family' that I started 3 years ago. Both of you were born and raised in France I believe, so please tell us about how growing up and living there affected your journey into electronic music? Rodriguez Jr. The electronic music scene was extremely exciting and fertile in France during the 90s. Eve

Hello Guys, thanks for joining us. How are you doing today and what was the last piece of music you listened to? Dave: Chaka Khan’s ‘I Feel For You’.

Tell us something interesting about your day today? Dave: I’ve just been traveling home from Mexico so nothing too exciting to report. Although I did just finish Guy Ritchie’s latest Netflix series ‘The Gentlemen’ on the plane which was a highly enjoyable gangster romp. John: Well, most of it will be taken up answering these questions because I’m so crap at typing. Hopefully some of it will be interesting though. Looking back on 2023 what gigs of yours have stood out and why? Dave: I really enjoyed my t
