For those who have no idea what we're talking about, Big Bootyland is Coachella, for example. We went in to do like a sound check two nights before our set. It was the first time testing out this new stage design we had. A spaceship lifts up into the air. And it was the first time testing up, testing out the lift where we go up and come back down. And when it like landed, the mixer, like all the CDJs just shut off immediately and stopped working.

0:21.1

It was just like a car crash.

0:22.3

Who are the top three colleges that you guys have performed at?

0:25.4

We haven't been asked us in a while.

0:26.7
