DJ Q&A: Mat.Joe
We are so pleased to have you return with Riva Starr! This show will be epic! He seems like a cool cat! Are you friends with Riva?
We can’t wait! Big love for San Francisco and Halcyon is an amazing place and it will definitely be epic! Riva is one of our favorite producers and a great DJ. We put out some stuff on his label and we’re down with him.
Congratulations on LOVE STREAM being No.1 on BeatPort! You finally knocked out COLA and LOVELEE DAE!! How does that feel?
Haha…thanks! It’s a great feeling. It’s our first number 1 overall…the other one was with Sonny Fodera. We’re good homies with CamelPhat and Amine Edge & DANCE…so we’re in wonderful company. And yes it happened because we played it a lot before on our shows and people were asking…sooo haha
Actually, we really love duos and just had both Camelphat and Amine Edge & DANCE at the club. What is the best thing about being a duo? What is the worst?
We can just speak for ourselves but we’re big friends since years and it’s amazing to live the dream together. Both of us try to keep up the good vibes and when one is down the other one is pushing back to happiness. Sure you can have issues every now and then because it’s a relationship. Things like that make you stronger…and we have loved each for 12 years. 🙂
We were at DC10 in Ibiza when Nicole Moudaber dropped your track. That was amazing! You then met her and she said she had played two of your tracks that night! Have you since connected with her and sent her music?
Omg that night was so funny! Unfortunately we didn’t send her tracks but we saw in the promo feedback reports that she love tracks. We hear from different kind of djs that they love our music…so yeah really happy about it.
The last time you played for us you played 8.5 hours! Unbelievable! What is your favorite thing about playing a long set?
When the vibe is right and we’re in the mood – we can’t stop….hahahaa. But from hospitality to just everything the Halcyon team is really great. Gina is one of our favorite people ever.
You guys are so good about taking great photos! Where would you like to do a photo shoot in San Francisco?
Ohhhh soooo many incredible spots. From the Golden Gate Bridge to the wonderful downhills, cable cars and Twin Peaks…so many nice places. As skaters we’re big fans of San Francisco…so it’s quite hard to make a decision about it yet but once we’re there we’ll show you the outcome.
Cool! We can’t wait to see the photos and we can’t wait to have you back at the club Friday!
