Tell us about your newest single.

E: We really wanted to capture the feeling of arriving to a party at like 3 a.m. when it’s already fucking crazy. We felt like “Boytoy” was kind of the prelude to this feeling, because it takes a while for the song to “explode.” And “EQetamine” is like insane sex from second one. We were listening a lot to 2000-2010 club music like Deadmau5 or Uffie so that’s the vibe kinda.

Q: “EQetamine” for me sounds like when you just walked into a party and the dancefloor is already filled with people sweating, your friend’s out of her mind dancing on top of a table, and you’re like, “Wait, I just got here.” We would be the DJs mixing this track at the party.

What’s the scene like in Buenos Aires right now?

E: I definitely see it growing from the present to the next years. I grew up alongside the alternative rock and shoegaze scene in Buenos Aires, which has been like nutrients for me and my artistic growth. In recent years, I’ve gotten into the electronic and everything “PC music” scene, because I wanted to make that type of music, and because I started working and making friends with people from that side of the local music scene. I think, since the whole independent scene has changed a lot, people are really in solidarity with each other to create this sort of autonomous new ecosystem. Because of the neoliberal capitalist policies that have ruled our country and the whole southern hemisphere for the last decades, it is also necessary that it would be this way. We cannot depend on any political authority to survive.

Q: I find it’s changed a lot very quickly. I think that the current political climate makes a lot of us uneasy and artists are putting more effort into making themselves heard and achieving greater art—more refined, better articulated and louder than ever. The government silencing us, shutting parties down, and defunding everything art-related only makes us want to fight back harder. I would like to see more of this. The scene is ever-evolving and even with top industry level artists there's this guerrilla, DIY feel to it.
