DJTODJ – YOUNG MARCO & HUNEE INTERVIEW EACH OTHer

Continuing the series of DJ to DJ where we ask two of our favourite Discos Jockos to interview each other up steps Young Marco and Hunee ahead of this year's Farr Festival. 

Hunee is a good eater. He comes from a grey and boring city, where heavy industrialization and green forests go hand in hand. Now being a Berlin resident for almost ten years he eats bumpin disco for breakfast, heats up deep jackin music for lunch and slows it soulfully down for dinner.  Young Marco has been on the forefront of Amsterdam's bustling underground scene for nearly a decade. Coming up through several now infamous residencies, he's  released records on Rush Hour and Lovefingers ESP Institute where he continues to craft his house filled with broken drum computers and uncool 90s new-age synthesizers. Not sure if he's a good eater…

Gentleman, what have you got to say to each other?

Young Marco: What's so great about LA anyway?

Hunee: Endless Summer! 

YM: Why do you like airports so much?

H: Yogi Jazz, a german modal jazz record. Thanks to a recommendation from MCDE! 

YM: Do you play a musical instrument, and if not would you want to?

H: Everyone wants to play the Piano. So do I.

YM: Whats up with that guy at Franz & Josef record store?

H: A mouse trapped in a hole. 

YM: Who is your favourite scientist?

H: Sun Ra.

YM: For the rest of your life: Jeans or Slacks?

H: Slacks all the way. Or maybe denim slacks?

YM: Is being a DJ working hard, or hardly working?

H: Work it, work it, work it, work it, work work work work …

H: Back to the future. I am glad of all the benefits of our time and look forward to a bright and challenging future.

H: No more Daft Punk talk, please!

Hunee: What mediocre superpower would you like to possess?

Young Marco: Telepathic internet

YM: Playing on badly maintained turntables, which i do, sadly, most of the time.

H: What is your favourite activity while flying around to gigs. Books, Music, Thinking?

H: What thought did come to your mind this morning, when you woke up?
