Before we start, I should ask: have you ever got drunk together?
Myn: Yeah, we did. When you played with Jasss last time in Marseille when this wasted guy wanted to fight with me for no reason, do you remember?
Judaah: Or when we went to META. It’s a small basement with a capacity of 300 people, and it’s the best place in Marseille. A lot of friends of ours play there.
Myn: There we drink pastis, an anise drink made in Marseille. Usually, it’s really cheap to get drunk there because if you go to the bar, you can buy pastis for 2 euros and after 3 of those you are fucked up.
Okay, Matthew, please start the game.
M: What is a perfect song for being sad?
J: Damn. Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind.
What about the party you felt is the one?
M: It was in Moscow at Mutabor. Everyone felt it was a big night. People were dancing almost naked. In Eastern Europe people are very into the music, you know. They dance a lot until they die, hardcore dancers, best crowd, I love them. There are many others, but I remember this one was quite something.
The weirdest track you’ve ever been asked to put on during the set?
J: 'Despacito' by Luis Fonsi. Next one.
What is the most disgusting food you ever tried in your life?
M: It was not disgusting but weird; it was a scorpion.
J: And what is the taste of the scorpion?
M: Scorpion has a taste of chicken.
J: Okay.
M: It was really weird because, in Thailand, you have this beer called Chang. They don’t really know what percentage of alcohol it contains, so if you order a large bottle and drink three of them, they would say “you are chang-over,” because you are completely drunk. So, I got drunk that night, and then I ate a scorpion and tried tarantula and other insects.

What about you, Judaah?
J: Maybe it was in the restaurant. In France, we call people who don’t pay the restaurant and leave “resto baskets.” One day, I had sushi in Lyon, and it was absolutely disgusting, without flavor, and very hard. And the waiter was a fucking bastard. I was with a friend, and when he got back to the restaurant, we started running away.
M: Did you finish your plate?
J: Yes.
M: So it wasn’t so disgusting.
What are your musical guilty pleasures?
J: The last one was the singer Sia. There was a big hit called “Big Girls Cry.”
Next question: What was your coolest party outfit ever?
M: Okay. Fashionable or cheesy?
J: He is a fashion guy.
Let’s go for a cheesy one.
M: It was for Halloween. I had a black shadow shape costume with a zipper in the back from my feet to my head. People couldn’t see my eyes, my long hair, my fingers, my whole body actually. It was tough for me to play and to see what I was doing. So I had to cut out the fabric around my fingers because I was playing vinyl, so I needed a good touch. I was entirely black like a shadow, and my fingertips were the only visible parts of my skin.
Imagine your life is a movie; would you enjoy watching it?
J: I think it would be a bit boring. And you?
M: Yeah, I think I could watch it because I did many different things in my life.
J: Something for me, but I don’t know if….
M: I know what you mean. You are going too deep now.
J: I will be crying in a few minutes.

What about the things which make you happy?
It’s a deep one.
M: This one doesn’t make me happy but reminds me of some really good moments. The song is Mobb Deep - Shook Ones, Pt. II. It has a really badass beat, I enjoyed this track and its music video a lot when I was younger, and I still do now.
J: It was the best. It was real hip hop.
M: This one would remind me of a lot of good times. Do you like this one?
J: Mobb Deep is the best.
M: I actually have this vinyl at home. I also like to play Nas records when I clean my house, the old Nas stuff. When I was a kid, I listened to a lot of hip-hop and metal as well.
J: I am a fan of DIPSET.
M: Yeah, this is more the 00's.
What is the most disastrous party in your life?
We can drop out the names.
J: Well, I don't remember, I was drunk because it was shit.
What about you, Matthieu?
M: I don't know if we can say the worst, but I had a special one. I played in Tijuana, a quite dangerous city. I took a ride from Los Angeles to San Diego, and then upon arrival, I was waiting for people who booked me in San Diego to go to Tijuana by car. I didn't know them. I was waiting for a green Range Rover. Finally, they came, we introduced ourselves and talked a lot during the short ride between those two cities, it was a friendly talk, and those two guys were really cool. Then they told me about some stories from the city, one of them told me: "Yesterday night, several people got hung under the bridge." It was some drugs-related stuff. So I was a bit like hmmm, okay, welcome to TJ!
Later I was followed to the club from my hotel by two kinds of bodyguards who work for the venue, they came to me and put me into the car in a very professional way. They locked the doors of the 4x4 and didn't speak any English. When we arrived, they opened my door where I was sitting, one guy in front of me, and one behind... I played that night from 4 to 9 am.

Then after my set, I went to the bathroom to do a little well deserved pee. And two big guys in white shirts, gold watches, and gold necklaces came in behind me, they started yelling at each other in Spanish, and I felt like they wanted to kill each other because it was really loud and hysterical. They looked at me and came over to me and were like: "You are the DJ! You are the DJ!" I was like: "Yeah, guys, I am the DJ. Okay, I'm leaving now." I just stopped doing what I was doing quickly; it was past 9 am. I was super tired, and a bit worried about the stories I heard about the city.
You know what I learned that night? Do you know where Caesar salad comes from? You think maybe Italy. But no, Caesar salad comes from Tijuana!
What is your weirdest habit?
J: I fall asleep whenever I'm in bed and start watching movies. And my girlfriend always takes her phone and takes photos of me.
The most ridiculous story you got yourself into with alcohol?
M: I don't know if I can say this. Okay, I'll go for it... One time, I was super tipsy - big time. I stayed overnight with a few people because I couldn't go home. I was too drunk, and I wanted to take a shower at my friend's apartment where I was staying. The step into the shower was a bit high, and I just jumped on it and put on the water, and then when I finished, I fell, and kind of broke the shower and also the wall. Okay, I made a big hole in the wall. I paid for the damage obviously.
Anyway, all that was just because of one kind of beer. It was the drink from the devil called 'Kasteel Rouge." It is a beer from Belgium and then after several ones you don't remember what your name is, or what you are doing, and so on.

And you? You have to answer too.
J: I did a lot of shit. But four years ago, I worked as a cook in the kitchen. So one day I was with my chief, and he had kind of tickets for going to a festival of food in Lyon. You know Lyon is a big city in the world of fine cuisine, with a lot of famous chefs. We went to the festival, and we were meeting a lot of people who were drinking. So we drank some champagne, some red wine, some white wine, some whiskey. And then my chef wanted to have a joint for a pure weed, and we started to be so fucking high.
Later we took a bus back to the city as the festival was outside the city. And I was so fucking bad on the bus, I sat down and started to be hot, and I was terrible. I was almost falling and almost collapsed. So my chief grabbed me from the floor and put me in the cab home. And when I was back home, I ran directly to the bed, fell on it, and started to puke and fell asleep on my vomit. The next morning my ex-girlfriend was coming back from Germany, and she opened the room and found me like this. I remember I had a cat, and the cat ate the puke.
What can people say at your funeral? It's a nice one.
M: He was a good DJ, hahahaha.
The last question is on us: "What is the best hangover remedy?"
M: Hmmm, maybe the technique of one glass of water between glasses of alcohol. And a Doliprane if your head is blazing before going to bed. The day after, you're so fresh and so clean.
J: Sex is the best hangover remedy.
