I am very happy because we are returning for 2021 with you, we will return shortly after, like me. Think about four months without doing a show because of this pandemic, so I'm very happy. It was like I told you a few seconds ago. It was out of this world. You lost your breath. Even yes, it was magical. Your perception. You were your life. it was magical your outfit is magical this whole place is magical um everything is magical here so thank you very much first of all it comes from you a lot thank you so much a lot of people asked questions about the audience online I think we pick just two and also I have a lot of other questions um and my phone is going off um sorry that's okay oh yeah that's okay so Ahmed Moanese's first question is what did you imagine the place and the environment would be like before you saw it? in real life and how did you prepare for this show we just talked about?

We had a lot of paramedic stuff even though we're from Denmark, it's a Viking thing, but we had some artwork and some costumes, even this hat. that's quite old in some way we feel connected maybe it's to lower the thing but call it that aesthetic at least I feel very connected to getting ready like seeing his photos it always already looked incredible from down here but then when you come it's like majestic You almost got You feel very small and you go inside and you just go numb because you know the whole story and all those years ago people made the works of art and it's quite surprising to experience that in real life it had a very strong impact yesterday. when we were walking, we were struck by how hard it is emotionally that it is such a powerful and deep place of history, so it is a great honor to be here in Egypt, in the beautiful country, in the beautiful palace, yes, we feel very honored and some of the songs have a new meaning when you play them here, we are like each other, hey, it all makes sense, yeah, sweet, I totally agree with you, um, I think it's not the first time you come to Egypt , I think you came a year ago.

We played a year ago, that was the first time we went there, a year ago, so it's pretty new for us back then, we were here like 14 hours, oh yeah, yeah, so I was about to ask what the differences between the first time you came and now, but I imagine there are many differences. um, you are you, this location is actually very powerful, like you said, um, what kind of connection did you feel between your music and Egypt today? Did you feel something? I felt like it was a sense of common history for all of humanity, I know it's quite high, but I felt really connected to the whole story and you saw Ramsay standing with his sign and thinking about the story, I felt a deep connection because everyone We are human beings and Basically, we are here on earth in the middle of a big pandemic and we all want to celebrate and have fun and I think in the past there were also people who struggled a lot because they were killed by yes, yes, but you know, I felt the struggle It dates back to ancient times so that was nice.

I see you touched on a lot of unreleased songs today. You started with two of two new songs that we will be releasing very soon, so not one but two this time, the first one is called Abu. Simbel and the other one, Nefertari is the other temple here. I have many questions to ask about this. These clues I found are amazing. If you could use just one word to describe both tracks. What word would you choose? We need to discuss perhaps a melancholy word. I'd say maybe we'll stick with that one since I like it too.

No, I think the second one for TD also has that feeling that you're captured in the desert, so it has. This desert vibe, yeah, that's our word 'cause I thought I'd say the same thing, it's melancholic desert even though the lyrics are about water, but, but when you're in the water and no, not even in the desert, Yeah you drink water, then you get this trippy vibe, so it was like this feeling of being in the desert without water, but there is water, yeah, there are a lot of questions about Pink Floyd, like you get inspired.

Pink Floyd, is it true? Are you inspired by Pink Floyd or other rock bands? I get very happy when people say that because we are on this border between indie, electronic and club and you always know that we both want to have the club element. And you know, we want to see people happy and dancing, but we're also very inspired by old music and things like Pink Floyd. It's like a huge honor that people think we sound a little bit like them, especially for a show. So, it makes a lot of sense to have these weird synth guitar performances.

I had a very strong Pink Floyd moment with you and you had a very strong Pink Floyd moment with this monument. I felt like I was like, yeah, I think Pitflog was one of the first to do these kinds of shows also without an audience in crazy places, so also maybe it's the link between the two or here you know, you're a three-person band, It is not so common in electronic music, how does the balance work? I work for you. How does the group dynamic work? We are very similar in general. Humidor has always been very flexible so at first we were like a full band with drums, bass and guitar and we started touring a lot and instead of taking a bus we just took the flights and landed some things or rented some things and that was a way to travel the world very easily, so we've all tried to find new easy solutions and also when we're together as a band, sometimes we do.

Two people DJ, yes, and when we work in the studio, sometimes we like to sit in each of our studios in different parts of the world, sometimes even and make music, and sometimes we sit together in a big studio, so any Whatever works, you're very flexible and I'm always up for new challenges, but I guess the dynamic is different, like in a normal band, you'd have the lead singer and then the other guys, and here we have two lead singers, so we're one. kind of producer and the other. Guys, yes, that's good, yes, do you all have a musical background or did you study something else?

If you listen closely, you'll hear that two of us are educated musicians, okay, and the third one, I actually feel like we just went broke. covers one also a question that I think is important is um uh if you had we're living in a strange world right now um if you had to change something about the music industry right now, would you change anything or what would you do? change the music industry has to change because the world is changing so I mean everything needs to change in some way. I think it's a big change for us to try to develop a new type of music that's not necessarily super club oriented, but more creative and open.

It's a big change for us to develop in a new way instead of focusing too much on the functional part. So we can be more open and creative because people won't necessarily be able to go out clubbing for the next few months or when I don't know how long, so for us it's a big openness, I would like, I think more generally, I would I would like the power to return to the artist. There are so many, you know, powerful systems. like record labels spotify and all this and I really feel like artists deserve a little more power and I think you might know that because everything is becoming very decentralized now with the internet yeah hopefully there's a hope that we and we like even bitcoins. uh things like that maybe can help exactly yeah I think it will happen yeah um what's the best advice you've ever been given in life?

There are so many people who dig deep, dig deeper, difficult questions my grandmother told me, always remember to look up and see. that the sky is blue, yes, I also had another tip that is more or less the same and I was inspired by that, but it's like when you see the information you have about the destruction in the whole world, sometimes you have to look out the window and Look at what it's like outside and if you look out the window and see a couple walking together with their hands and birds, then you actually have to focus on what's outside, maybe it's not as destructive as the media says.

And speaking of blue, how about your outfits? Where did you find them? It's a Danish brand and we actually worked with them for many years, and then, but for ten years we didn't have clothes from them and then I saw this. and I thought we should have this, it's amazing and it fits really well with the location because of the contrast and in some shots you can see the sky and your outfit and like the outfits share the same fate, yeah, perfect, yeah, the brain. It's called soul line by the way, they are good friends, very, very good choice, uh, last question I never asked.

Have a question for me? How did you get the idea to start this? Maybe you've had it before, but yeah, he's been kind. of uh many steps before of course uh getting here but at the beginning it started in my apartment which is still my apartment and uh we at some point arrived at the eiffel tower uh four five years ago almost and just sending an email in a contact form and they responded and said yes let's try to do something and we never stopped that's how it started that's amazing guys thank you so much for the great honor because it was really a great honor and life became really magical again we have a little gift for you, it's the mystery box, oh it's beautiful, as you open the gift, I also wanted to thank, of course, our entire team and the production team who did a really amazing job, armor and everything. the team in France too um yeah, it's really beautiful uh some little souvenir uh of this is Egypt which is uh this is ancient ancient ancient I think 4000 years um I also wanted to thank the ministry of antiquities and tourism uh and uh, the minister himself, Dr.

Anani, thank you so much for him, yeah, and he's not here, uh, uh, unfortunately he was supposed to come, but unfortunately he's not here and I also wanted to thank you all for watching, we really are. happy to be back on the track and see you very soon bye guys bye oh and I forgot thanks to the playground and our local promoter who did a crazy job thank you so much to them thank you all bye guys
