Exron Music: Are you all excited to perform together here at Electric Zoo this weekend?

Cookie Monsta: Yes!!!!!

Funtcase: Yes! It’s been three years I’m excited. The last time I was here was 2016. It’s exciting because we haven’t played b2b together in awhile so we’ve got a lot of new music that hasn’t been heard.

Cookie Monsta: It’s gonna be wild, there’s gonna be deaths everywhere. We are literally gonna kill everyone, with a smile on our faces.

Exron Music:What’s the best part about going b2b? Can you tell us a little bit about how you guys first start collaborating together?

Cookie Monsta: Through Circus Records!

Funtcase: We got booked once out of the blue for a show back to back together. It was actually Tomorrowland. We were performing b2b at Tomorrowland and one of the videos of us just kind of went semi-viral in our scene.  After that everyone was like “we need this” and that’s all it takes.

Exron Music: What was the deciding factor for you guys to both to start producing dubstep?

Cookie Monsta: It’s loud and bass-y. It’s awesome. You can make the most ridiculous sounding noises and travel the world for it. 

Funtcase: Yeah, I like the energy but I like making stupid noises. That’s pretty much the shortest version of it. 

Exron Music: Being a touring artist can take a toll on mental health, what methods do you both use to ensure you are putting your mental health and yourself first?

Cookie Monsta: Just take some time out and drinking lots does not help whatsoever.

Funtcase: I stay sober and I try to do things for me.  I’m a gamer and I have a gaming laptop so I’ll play in the hotel rooms and whatever.  That’s my escape from what I’m doing.

 Exron Music: Funtcase, earlier this summer you announced your DPMO tour, what are you looking forward to with this fall tour?

Funtcase: Just to see how people are going to take to the new guys. We have a lot of new DPMO artists and a lot of new DPMO music.  We’re ready to see how people react to all the new talent that we have lined up. I’m so stoked. 

Exron Music: Cookie Monsta, you’ve been on a bit of hiatus what are you hoping to accomplish for the rest of the year?

Cookie Monsta: To finally release loads of music and smash the shit out of this place. I love stateside and it’s where my family is so it’s good to be back. 

Exron Music: Do you all have any upcoming projects that you are collaborating on that you can share with us?

Funtcase: I’ve got DPMO 3 coming up and I’ve also got something big coming, I can’t tell you what it is yet but it’s being announced sometime next month. It’s gonna be something special.

Cookie Monsta: Just making lots of music, I’ve got loads of ideas and I’m ready to turn it into music.
