— How did you become interested in electronic music?
— Korolova: My love for electro music took place long ago in 2005. Before that I listened to British Rock. But when I heard remix of Gabriel&Dresden on Way Out West I understood, that this is my music.
— Alar: The story begins in Saint Petersburg when I was 16. I visited legendary Red Club where they brought such artists like Solomun, Stephan Bodzin, Oliver Huntsma and Oliver Koletzki during thy times…While listening to such artists I couldn't but fall in love with electro music. It was love from the first sight.

— How would you define your sound?
— Korolova: Deep and Intense
— Alar: I like many different styles of music, but most of all I prefer to mix Indie, Progressive and ethno. And of course beautiful vocal is a soul of each track that makes mood and massage of track.

— Olga, can you say that life in Ukraine influenced on your professional growth? If so, how? Oleksandr, the same question to you about Russia.
— Korolova: In Ukraine electronic music is quite popular, but I always looked at foreign market and followed their trends. As a result 90% of my performances take place abroad.
— Alar: I used to live on Bali for 3 years and my new project Alar was created exactly there. When back to CIS I was already known and that's why I was invited to tour. Such way every summer I toured there. But I should say that musical culture in Russia is weaker that in Ukraine. Though it is stronger than in Asia or on Bali.

— Your new mutual release "Like a Fire" will be out soon on Area Verde. What is special about this track? Which reaction do expect from the audience?
— Korolova: We can't wait to see this release. We have been waiting for it more that 3 month. And now we are on a finish line. Audience always meets this track warmly. Because it is very dynamic and vocal by Vlad Sokolovskii(VS20) made it even better. We are satisfied by our common work. Hope this track will be loved by audience.
— Alar: This track charges people with positive. When I play it, I can see how people smile and fly away dancing. The vocal was recorded by our friend Vlad Sokolovskii. He is famous pop singer. But his new project Amplua VS20 showed me his new side. He is fond of electro music and I think Vlad has big future in this style…
