00:00Oh, come on in. What's up? I know. I feel like it's football.
00:05We'll squeeze in. It's a tight carpet tonight, huh?
00:07Yeah, come on in. Come on in. Come on in.
00:09Come on in. Come on in.
00:10Oh, you've got the Van Cleef on. You know, your fashion.
00:12I like that. That's fire.
00:13Jeez, thanks. I borrowed it.
00:17Oh, I know. I've thought about, like, on the Uber drive over.
00:20I was like, one speed bump. I'm gone. I'm gone. It's over for us.
00:23So these guys, no strangers to Vegas. Loud Luxury.
00:26How's it feel to be at the AMAs?
00:27This is our first AMAs. It's really cool.
00:29We're super excited. And Jennifer Lopez. Let's go.
00:32And, you know, just casually.
00:33Yeah, casual.
00:34We've been to a few Canadian Music Awards before,
00:36but this is, like, the World Series. This is the Super Bowl for us.
00:39So we're very honored. We're very excited.
00:41Like you said, J-Lo. That's what we're here for.
00:44And, I mean, when you guys play so many shows, like, what gets you excited?
00:47You guys have played the biggest festivals and nightclubs and stuff.
00:49What gets you excited in the industry?
00:51It's always the crowd. Like, we'll go and play festivals,
00:53and you can be so tired. Like, we're running on, like, two hours of sleep
00:56coming, like, across the continent, and then we'll pull up,
00:58and there's, like, 30,000 people there, and they're all going crazy.
01:01So it's, like, really an adrenaline rush every time you go on.
01:04Yeah. No.
01:07Sorry, I just had to ask you about EDC.
01:09Yeah.
01:10Yes, yes. So how was it this year compared to years in the past?
01:13It was a very different vibe in the best way.
01:15Because every time we've done EDC, we've played the same stage every time,
01:18which is Kinetic Field.
01:19It's the big one where they do the big art superstructure.
01:22And this time...
01:23We did Cosmic Metal this time.
01:24Yeah. That was cool.
01:25Which is sort of another main stage, but it's right by the bleachers,
01:28and we played a lot later than we usually do.
01:31So what was really exciting is there wasn't the same pressure of, like,
01:34you need everyone jumping up and down at all times, otherwise you kind of suck.
01:37We had them jumping up and down.
01:38Yeah.
01:39Like he said, he goes, but we didn't have them.
01:41We didn't have them.
01:42Just to verify.
01:43It was cool. It's the first thing you see when you walk in the festival,
01:45so it's a really cool vibe because you catch people as you're coming in
01:48or leaving or whatever, so it was really special.
01:50Yeah. Creatively, we just got to go a little bit more house-y,
01:53a little bit more of a vibe versus just energy at all times, and we loved that.
01:58And the reception to our set's been amazing so far.
02:00We put it online.
02:01We're very happy that everyone's receiving it.
02:02Check it out. It's on YouTube.
02:03Yeah.
02:04Incredible.
02:05Amazing. And then I feel like being DJs and creating music,
02:07you have to have your finger on the pulse.
02:09Yeah.
02:10What's the song of the summer right now? Like what has been hitting?
02:12I feel like that Notion song that-
02:14The days.
02:15Yeah.
02:16The days everybody's been playing that.
02:17That one blew up out of nowhere.
02:18Yeah.
02:19On the pop side, love it or hate it, I'm going to say this as a Canadian,
02:23Nokia goes off every time.
02:25We have an edit.
02:26We have an edit that we play in our shows.
02:28Everyone loves to hear it.
02:29You know, I think it's just nice to hear Drake do a more fun song
02:32that's less serious.
02:33Yeah.
02:34And you can tell that people have been wanting that as well.
02:36Cause every time we played the entire front row,
02:38just starts pulling out their fake phones.
02:39Yeah.
02:40Yeah.
02:41Like it just, it's a, it's a very special moment.
02:43Well, that's amazing.
02:44And thank you guys so much for hanging out.
02:45It's always good energy.
02:46Thank you for having me.
02:47Appreciate you guys chatting with Billboard.
02:48We love more than Billboard.
02:49Thank you so much.
02:50Oh, it's so nice.
02:51I don't work here, but it's awesome.
02:53We're happy you're here.
02:54Someday.
02:55Yeah.
02:56I'm happy you guys are here.
02:57Give her the job.
02:58Give her the job.
02:59Yeah.
03:00I'm ready for the job.
