With releases on powerhouse imprints like Play It Down, Nervous, Toolroom, and Defected, it's safe to say the Prince Club boys have had a good year in the studio. Couple their production success with gigs at festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival and clubs around the world, and it's of little wonder that these deep and tech house producers from Montreal, known to their mums as Zach and Max, have gained attention from jocks like Joris Voorn, Claude Von Stroke, Brodinski, and Riva Starr (who apparently nudged the duo away from their old MADKIDS moniker a little while back). The duo are headed next to Montreal's massive igloofest, playing alongside the dirtybird boss himself, Claude VonStroke, as well as Justin Martin, and will no doubt represent their hometown with pride. In the meantime, however, they've provided us with a taste of what's to come with this exclusive hour-long bouncing deep and tech house mix for you to download and enjoy, as well as a quick chat in order to find out what these up and comers have been up to as of late. Listen, enjoy, and read on.
You guys are heading back to Igloofest early next year. How many times have you played there, and what’s it like to be a part of such a massive festival in your home city? PC: Yes! We’re excited to be back. We’ve played igloofest once before under our old moniker MADKIDS 5 years ago. Playing festivals are a treat but being able to do it in your city, showing how far you’ve come as an artist is always special.
You two have been living apart (Zach in London and Max between LA and Montreal), but I understand you’re planning on living together again in London. Have you made the move yet? If so, how has it been? Max: Yes! I actually made the move to London over the summer and found myself very conflicted with my decision. Zach loves London but for me personally it wasn't for me. It was putting me down creatively and I didn’t feel productive. Therefore I made the move back to Montreal and built myself a cozy studio. I’m going to isolate myself for the winter and try to make the best music I can! Zach is planning to come to Montreal to be with family for a couple weeks before igloofest and I'm looking forward having him in the studio for a few weeks! If only Poupon was still in Canada we could reunite PCP for a new record!
Who’s been on your musical radar (electronic music or not) for 2013? PC: A few of the homies that I've been bigg’d up since last year are blowing up now: Urulu, Steve Huerta, Sage Caswell, of course Zach's personal project Forrest, and Poupon! I'm always proud to see my friends doing big things in the industry and get inspired to step my game up everyday.
You’ve had an incredible year with plenty of great releases and big gigs, but what have been some of the most memorable moments from the year past? PC: It has been a great year with some fun shows and we really appreciate all who come out to the shows, and always showing love! Looking back, the best moment of 2013 for us was starting to work with Toolroom. Being part of such a supportive label that pushes your act as far as possible is really hard to find.
And finally, any big releases or announcements you can tell us about for 2014? PC: 2014 is looking up. Looking forward to continuing the momentum - more releases, more remixes! Some interesting collaborations, and of course more gigs! Keep posted!
