Can you tell a bit about your story, how you met and what made you work together in the first place?

[K]: We met in our hometown around 1990 in the first raves we went to, as we were a very small group jumping into this movement. We already went to the same new wave club previously, without knowing each other. It’s only when I was asked to compose a track for a compilation that I asked him for help and started working together. Another request from DJ Hell met in another rave, sealed our duet. We made Frank Sinatra and 1982 for our first EP, the rest is history.

[H]: We are from the same city (Grenoble, France) and we met in what was the first techno club in our city almost 30 years ago!! We were both part of a very small scene of people who were into raves and techno, Caroline started to DJ and I started to make music and play live in raves. One day Caroline was asked to do a track for a compilation, she didn’t have any machines to do music, so she asked me and that is how it started.

What are the challenges coming back for a third album? You said that this album is “a return to the core of what you were doing”. Can you expand on this point and talk about what it means to continue working together after all these years?

[K]: It’s already a challenge to be in a band. We survived because we were never a couple, and both consider it as a « big side project » paralel to our solo work. We only did 2 albums, we take our time, quality over quantity. The only pressure we have is: what do we want to say with our music. After 30 years, it’s the same question. The answer is to focus on what we do best, but still be opened enough to reflect the present, not the past, and if we can, tend to timelessness. We are lucky to be extremely different and nourish each other, as well as knowing our role in this project. But it’s still work, as any relationship, gets better, years after years.
