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. It was our first European show & we
won based off of sheer online votes and support. So we will

You both have graduated from Sacramento State University; what do you plan on doing with your degrees?
Do either of you do work outside of entertaining and

We’ve been producing now for about 10 years, so I think it’s
safe to say that we’ve put in our 10,000 hours.
You both are physically fit; what are your workout routines and diet, especially as busy, hard working DJs and
magicians?
We believe that getting to know your own body is important. For us, we get results with just weight lifting, minimum
3 days a week, and doing cardio at least 2 to 3 days a week. If
you combine that with eating right and proper nutritional
supplementation, you will see and feel results. Our goal is
