What sort of
atmosphere are you
expecting at ZoukOut
this year?
WJ:
We’re expecting a very
pumped crowd. Months
before the festival, we were
already seeing lots of posts
from fans on Twitter saying
they’re excited to see us
again. That’s a very good
feeling.
What do you like about
spinning in Singapore?
SJ:
The city has such a
unique aesthetic and the
people are super friendly
and nice. In the past, the
vibe from the crowd during
our shows in Singapore
has been mind-blowing so
we always look forward to
our next performance.
While you're in town,
what else are you
looking forward to?
WJ:
We love food so we
can’t wait to tuck into our
next Singapore meal.
SJ:
The local dishes and
flavours are so diverse but
our schedule is so hectic
that we never have enough
time to try them all. We’re
hoping to visit some of the
city’s amazing restaurants
and to spend a little time
relaxing in the sun.
