They were running super late so we didn't go on until like 3:30. Some drunk kid kept knocking over my mic stand and asking me to play Reggaeton, so I asked this muscled raver who was rolling hard next to us on stage to get rid of him and the guy launched him into the crowd and kept on dancing.Ī.K: I think one of our best gigs was this other warehouse party at the 1896 that we had played a month before THAT fiasco. All the dj’s before us were playing top-forty remixes and the crowd was drunk and loving it, and then we got on there and played some crazy shit and kids were like this is fucking weird I just wanna grind with my baby momma.

We're into computer junkyards, broken machinery, loose wires, empty parking lots, police sirens, L.E.D, neon ads with letters missing…you get the idea.Ī.K. ![]() At a party last year I realized that I feel far more comfortable in a dark room full of dizzying hyper-bright strobe lights than I do on a sunny street, and I think a lot of people can relate. It seems that people are interfacing more and more with machinery and computers and the result is an increasingly fractured way of experiencing the world. What’s the inspiration behind your music?Ī.N: For me, Sssen is about celebrating the ugly side of technology. ![]() AwB: I don’t get to ask this question a lot, but I feel like it applies to you guys more than most of the people I interview. ![]()
