What is the biggest accomplishment as a DJ duo you have achieved so far? What has been the biggest challenge? The biggest accomplishment was winning that contest to open for Moby in front of over 14,000 people on Jesolo Beach in Jesolo, Italy.

If you combine that with eating right and proper nutritional supplementation, you will see and feel results.
