Will you please put your hands together?
0:07
I'm talking about everybody outside the room as well.
0:10
We can hear you all over the globe. Young Miko >> What's up? What's up? What's up? >> Wow. How are you?
0:18
Welcome back from the desert. How was it? >> Thank you so much. I'm good. How are you?
0:22
See, I kind of lost my voice. >> Same. We all did. >> Cuz I gave it my all. >> Yeah, I know. >> All these humans. >> I know. I know.
0:27
And plus that dry air, all that desert, all of that dust and everything.
0:31
>> god, I feel like I brought the desert back with me. In my lungs. >> That's fine.
0:35
You can leave it there when you go back this weekend.
0:37
>> getting better already. It was worth it.
0:40
>> So, let's talk a little bit about the experience overall and keep it as of the moment.
0:43
You know, how was the overall experience of the festival as a fan as well as as an artist, you know?
0:48
>> It's so different from going and performing.
0:50
Um I think it was my first time ever going to any sort of festival just like as a fan to enjoy the shows.
0:57
And it was my first time at that festival as well going as a fan.
1:02
And I got I was able to go with my friends.
1:03
It was my brother's birthday weekend. >> Amazing. Happy birthday. >> him.
1:08
It was his first time as well.
1:08
He got to see all the artists he wanted to see. He met a bunch of them. >> Beautiful. >> god, I had a blast.
1:14
It was probably one of the best weekends ever.
1:17
>> Isn't it amazing when you have this dream that you want to go and be a part of this community, be an artist, have experiences, meet like-minded wonderful creative people, but then you get to share that with the people you love?
1:27
>> It's so crazy, actually. Yeah.
1:27
And then like just being able to have that like space, as you say.
1:33
Like, for example, my brother was dying to see the Cat Thai Girls.
1:38
And then we were able to go see them.
1:40
And I was able to say hi to a few of them backstage.
1:42
And I took my brother with me.
1:44
And they all wished him a happy birthday. >> nice, those girls. >> They're sweethearts. I love them. >> really are.
1:49
Working really hard at it. >> amazing. Yeah.
1:51
>> Working really, really hard.
1:51
And people don't talk enough about the work that it takes. You put in the work.
1:54
You are definitely somebody who understands that it talent is not enough and you have boundless talent, but you match it with this work ethic. Was it always you?
2:03
Were you always a hard worker as a kid? >> Always.
2:07
I've I've always been like an overachiever.
2:08
Like when I played soccer, I played national team and then when I tattooed, I work I worked at a tattoo shop and I was like I was fully booked on like tattoo appointments and then when I did I started doing music, I was like I'm going all out as I usually do.
2:24
So it's all or nothing, you know, that's the way I've been taught to do things.
2:29
You either go with your all or you just don't.
2:34
>> Rewinding a little bit to some of those other passions that you had.
2:35
Talking about soccer for a second, obviously sports at one point was your focus because we all know the effort it requires to get into a national team in a sport.
2:43
You know, you can't be like a part-timer.
2:47
At what point did did you decide that you didn't want to see that through?
2:51
>> I I studied at one college and then I had to transfer to another college.
2:54
And then I got like a penalty where I couldn't play for a year cuz I got the transfer.
3:02
And then during that transfer, I started tattooing and I started playing around with music.
3:08
And then I just like instantly fell in love and I think it was a sort of love that I had never felt before towards something and I just knew.
3:16
So I just kind of kind of like stopped playing soccer.
3:18
I went from like 100 to zero.
3:21
>> Is there a part of you, even with all the success that you've had and the fulfillment you get out of the arts, that feels a little bit divorced from that passion of soccer and playing the sport, you know?
3:29
Because you obviously when you're a kid and you start finding a sport that you love, man, it consumes you, you know?
3:35
So when you break that connection hard and fast, with time do you look back on it and be like, I kind of miss it in a nice way? >> Yeah, I do.
3:44
Like sometimes my friends and I joke that we should like get together and play for fun.
3:48
You know, there's like soccer fields all over Puerto Rico that people could sort of rent out just for fun. >> social. >> Yeah, exactly.
3:55
And then we talk about that all the time because like it even feels like it didn't even happen, you know, it was so so long ago.
4:02
I feel like I've lived so many lives.
4:04
>> Would it be strange for you to go back and even play socially given that it was something that is kind of unfulfilled to some degree even though you made the decision to stop, you know, because everyone else is like, "We want to see you play whatever."
4:12
But I can imagine for you it's a little bit like, "Guys, this kind of deep." >> It is.
4:15
It is kind of deep actually. But I don't know.
4:18
I think it would come natural to me, you know, sort of like riding a bicycle.
4:22
>> Oh, no doubt about that.
4:22
I'm sure you could do like a thousand keepie uppies just in front of it.
4:26
>> Um but like I bet I would bet I bet it would bring back so many memories. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
4:31
>> Like so many nice memories like all of my best friends, like most of them I met them playing soccer, like Mariana included and and Mauro is is her brother, so I met him as well, and Gali who's around me all the time and >> you'll get to go on this road on this journey.
4:46
>> sort of like we're playing a a different sort of field, you know, what I mean?
4:49
>> Yeah, beautifully put.
4:49
And by the way, you know, it is I don't like the idea of music being competitive even though it undeniably is to the fact that you have to try to carve a lane for yourself, which means you have to cut through others.
4:59
But there was a work ethic and there was a focus that you get from athletics, so I do believe that some artists understand the art.
5:05
>> I think it's completely I think it goes hand in hand. >> Yeah.
5:08
>> Like um I definitely learned a lot from the sport to have dedication, to be consistent, to be responsible, to work in teams.
5:19
That teamwork is definitely um stronger than trying to do things by yourself.
5:24
And I think I've unconsciously like applied all of that to to my music and my career and then it just like came naturally and anytime anybody asked me about a secret recipe or something I think that was like crucial in in our success.
5:37
I definitely have to like mention the fact that I've I've always worked with my team from day one and I've I've I allowed myself to be taken care of by the people that generally want um my best interests at heart, you know?
5:54
>> Oh, that's a truth bomb right there. I love that.
5:56
Allow yourself to be taken care of.
5:59
>> And to be helped as well, you know, to like recognize when you need help and when you need a hug and and have people that ground you around you all the time allows you to stay true to yourself.
6:10
I always feel like I'm stuck in my ways but like in a good way.
6:13
>> Yeah, and also trust is an exercise and you have to exercise it. And it's not easy.
6:17
It's not easy and it's not that thing that it's like often people talk about the concept of trust being like, "Well, I don't trust you or I trust you."
6:22
It's all you you you you.
6:22
But trust really is a self-fulfilling exercise.
6:26
It's about allowing yourself to be yourself around others.
6:31
>> It's putting yourself out there and like um even like being open to the possibility that you might be let down or get hurt but like it's part of the process, you know? >> Yeah.
6:43
>> And we can't be like holding back in life just cuz we're scared of a certain outcome.
6:50
>> How you going to write a song, "Baby, I'm a freak" if you're not going to be open about your freakiness? >> Exactly.
6:55
>> to be able to say, "I'm a I'm a total freak."
6:57
And someone goes, "I'm a freak as well."
6:59
>> Let's be open about our freakiness. That's called trust. >> Let's bring it back. >> Let's bring it back.
7:04
>> Let's bring back freakiness.
7:06
>> Let's bring back freakiness.
7:06
>> I'm bringing freaky back.
7:08
>> You are bringing freaky.
7:09
You're bringing freaky back.
7:11
Justin uh Timberlake would agree with that.
7:13
>> I was going crazy on this can a little bit. >> It was. Uh all right.
7:16
I love it when we can work our our sound board into conversation naturally.
7:20
>> had that in there casually.
7:21
>> I I never thought we would be able to drop the cantaloupe into conversation. >> That's hilarious.
7:26
>> That was an always out of context sound board drop.
7:27
But you know, you start bringing up Justin Timberlake and >> I was going crazy on this can a little bit. >> Apparently so.
7:32
I mean, when you heard that you must just be like, "Oh, the pen's going to do the work right now."
7:36
Because the beat is just so delightful.
7:39
It's so hard and it's so almost Miami bass but it's playful and light on its feet as well, you know?
7:44
>> When Mauro showed me the beat, he named it sexy ass beat.
7:48
>> He's right, and he's right.
7:49
>> That's why he named it. >> He's right. Yeah, man.
7:53
So, we're getting this this beautiful addition to an already great album.
7:58
Let me ask you, was this one part of the album sessions or is this a new one? >> This is a new one.
8:02
>> Cuz you wouldn't have left this off the album. >> No, of course not. >> No, no, no.
8:05
>> This is actually the first song to be created out of the deluxe. >> Amazing.
8:11
>> That'll be coming out.
8:12
>> It speaks to me that you came out of the whole experience of making that record and releasing that record with confidence, because I hear you coming into this like, oh, I know what I'm doing now.
8:20
This is like, do you know what I mean?
8:22
>> I appreciate that so much.
8:22
It definitely feel like that. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
8:25
So, how has recording music changed since you got that album out and how has it We talk about confidence, that's a loose term.
8:31
If we could be a bit more specific about how you're walking into studios now and what you're trying to say and how you feel about your own art. >> I love that.
8:40
When I was creating the Do Not Disturb album, I was going through a weird time like in my life and I I mostly used the album as like an outlet. >> Mhm.
8:50
>> And like um I I really wanted it to at the end of the day feel like it was a an important healing process for me. >> Mhm.
8:57
>> And I feel like the N D was like a a project where I had a lot of things I needed to say and like get out of my chest.
9:03
And like um I needed to put in the work to start to have fun again. >> Mhm.
9:09
>> Um I don't know where that got lost a little bit and it wasn't intentional and I'm not saying I didn't have fun.
9:13
But but there was definitely a sort of um weight on my shoulders.
9:20
And I don't know, there was like um a little rock in my shoe.
9:23
I don't know how to explain it, you know? >> beautifully put. It's very descriptive.
9:27
The idea that I still want to walk, but it's just not as comfortable as I want it to be.
9:31
>> And then like with with this deluxe I was so happy to be able to feel like I I was able to really achieve that with with DND.
9:43
Um like I decided to make the deluxe because I think I had a little bit of like an emotional attachment to the Do Not Disturb world.
9:50
And I I'm so happy with the person I came out the other side of the album and I I feel like I really like was able to heal a lot of things and or at least really start healing a lot of things that I I wanted to work on and and the deluxe like this this single was so perfect to put it out first cuz this is the energy throughout the deluxe.
10:15
>> is out of this >> Exactly. Yeah.
10:17
And you can really really really really like feel me having fun again in the studio and >> If you want to chat by the way, I would totally respect it.
10:25
>> My friends had to drag me through my feet to get me out of the studio cuz we were like on a roll.
10:29
I It was just like a a great momentum going and we got them done pretty quick cuz like it was just I don't know.
10:36
It was in the air and me and Modern I were really connected in the studio as well.
10:39
And all my friends that got to work writing with me I'm so excited.
10:45
>> You know, you've been such a generous collaborator with others and it it speaks to um your music and you as a person too.
10:50
I think a lot of people get very confused and they think the collaborations are purely a trade.
10:55
The best collaborations happen because there's a personal connection. >> Totally.
10:58
>> Cuz someone wants to actually have someone on their record cuz they like their energy >> Totally.
11:02
>> and how they make them feel.
11:02
It's not just because you have a million followers and I have a million followers so together we're going to have two million followers. Whatever, that.
11:08
>> It's something you can't fight.
11:09
>> You can't fight it, right? >> the record. >> It really does.
11:11
So when I ask you obviously that's very important to you um what makes you say yes? How do you know yes?
11:21
>> I think it's I think it's a feeling like um like I said like it transcends music.
11:26
Like it's something that you feel with this person and like for example in the DND album, I only had Eladio as the only feature.
11:32
It was a project where I really wasn't chasing features.
11:37
It was a really introspective like >> You just said it was about you.
11:40
>> Yeah, piece of work and I was so like I had this crazy tunnel vision, you know, with the album that I wasn't really looking at anything else.
11:48
And then one day I was just like casually it happened randomly like I had a session in one room and Eladio was in a room next to me. >> Mhm.
11:56
>> And then we sort of just um collided. He He came by to say hi.
11:59
We started chatting and >> And then just I guess >> And just happened.
12:03
And then we were like casually chatting.
12:05
I was showing him some of the songs and he heard Traviesa and like his eyes were like wide open. He's like, "Woah." I'm like, "You like it? You want to hop on it?" He's like, "Hell yeah."
12:14
And then the feature just happened and I'm really happy it it came like that way. >> Mhm.
12:19
>> And features are all about complementing each other. That's how I feel.
12:24
And like working with chemistry with another person is such a fun adventure.
12:28
Like, how do we make our worlds, you know, collaborate and how will we sound together on this project?
12:37
What would be a ground where we both your feel comfortable and like bring the best out of each other and make it feel genuine and fun as well.
12:43
I think you can tell when you listen to a song when a feature was like genuinely super fun or it was sort of a little bit forced. >> Yeah.
12:53
And I was just thinking it must be really fun.
12:55
I often talk about this, the fact that you know, you you know, people get to like include your rations in their sets and you get to bring elements of what you've done with others in your set and it's like you can go on stage now in any arenas and and for the rest of your life just decide to work a little bit of Gabriella into the set or not. >> Totally. >> You know what I mean?
13:12
It's just touch it for a second cuz it's just like, "Hey man, that's the Cats Eyes song but you know, I crushed that Let me get on that shit."
13:19
>> They make you a part of it and you can revisit old collaborations as well anytime if it feels right. >> Yeah, for sure. >> it lives forever. It's timeless.
13:26
>> We had the incredible Luisa Sonza on yesterday and uh what an what a deep artist she is. >> Totally. Her album was amazing. >> Amazing.
13:34
Like so much creativity, progressive and adventurous.
13:38
>> The transitions between songs were seamless.
13:41
>> I was talking to her I was saying like man it feels like sometimes you took half that song and a third of that song and she was like yeah.
13:44
Like they didn't construct it in a lot of ways.
13:46
They obviously there are beautiful complete song structures and arrangements but there's moments where I just feel they're like try it. Just try it.
13:55
>> And you can really feel that. >> You can feel that.
13:56
How was that experience working with Luisa Sonza and and for yourself in particular who are two artists who have built an enormous and very passionate fan base coming out of the community to the wider world but are just starting to really get the world's attention now.
14:11
>> Yeah, it was really fun.
14:11
Um we had followed each other on on social media for a while now. >> Yeah.
14:18
>> And I had heard her music for a really long time as well.
14:19
And I had always like been really intrigued in working with an artist from Brazil.
14:26
I've never been to Brazil and I have a lot of fans over there and I'm dying to visit.
14:29
Hopefully I will someday.
14:31
And then when she reached out and I heard the song I heard five seconds of the song. I knew.
14:34
I was already like looking at Mado like when are we going to book the day to record this one cuz this is so fun.
14:44
>> This is dream chasing everybody.
14:44
If you listen to this around the world, you know, let's just acknowledge the amount of work that's required and the commitment and the sacrifice of the travel and being away from family as much.
14:54
But let's also take the time to acknowledge that when you get to a place where you start to receive inspiration and opportunities from people you admire that is dream chasing.
15:05
All right, for those people that don't know and they haven't done the math, let me break it down for you.
15:07
As well as making your own amazing music you have also done just to finish the conversation and close the loop on that.
15:15
Collaborations with and not don't just think about how many here think about who they are and how often they work with people. Skrillex. That in itself is crazy.
15:28
>> Sonny just doesn't with anybody.
15:28
He is so deliberate with who he works with.
15:33
That guy is like razor-focused. >> got along so well. >> He's the best. >> He's the best. >> He's the best.
15:38
He took me out on tour when I was a young DJ, well younger DJ.
15:42
He took me out on tour, multiple tours.
15:44
>> That must have been crazy. >> Incredible, right?
15:44
It was just when it was happening, you know, Monsters, the whole thing, Bangarang, all that time and nice, so generous with his time. Skrillex. Bia. >> Shout out to Bia. >> Rush! >> Shout out to Bia. >> Unbelievable. >> great artist. >> Cat's eye. >> Love them. >> KAYTRANADA. >> Me entiendes? >> Russian. Bad Bunny. Karol G. Sech. Sech. >> Sech. >> Sech.
16:10
I mean, one of the what Sorry, Sech.
16:13
You're going to hate me for saying this.
16:15
One of the sweetest, nicest, quietest, most just >> Agreed.
16:20
>> really personable, but very internal.
16:23
>> His aura is so gentle. >> So gentle.
16:26
>> Yeah, he's a sweetheart.
16:27
>> People think he's like stand-offish.
16:27
No, he's introverted, I think, in a really lovely way. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. In a lovely way.
16:33
>> In a lovely way, not in an offensive way, in a lovely way.
16:34
But anyway, he'll be like, "Man, don't don't say that." >> He gets shy. >> Don't say that, man.
16:39
They'll all think I'm not >> No, he's badass to be a sweetheart.
16:45
>> Man, I mean, it's incredible, um, you know, what you're doing and how you've established your voice in really short order as well.
16:53
I mean, I used to be obsessed with time.
16:55
I try not to let be obsessed with time.
16:58
I try to I try to not to be controlled by time anymore.
17:01
So, I don't like to make too much of a thing about like, "Oh, it's happened so fast." Like, >> Mhm.
17:05
>> it happens fast, it happens slow, it happens.
17:07
But, um, how do you stay present?
17:10
>> You know, I got this tattoo done when I was working on the album. It says "ukiyo". >> Is it Japanese? >> Yeah.
17:16
It literally translates to the floating world. >> Mhm.
17:19
>> It basically says like if you don't be in the present, it'll just go right by you.
17:24
>> you find that the inspiration for that or the language?
17:26
>> So, I've been pretty obsessed ever since I've been a jet um with the anime world.
17:32
And then so I just continue to stumble upon like things like this and mantras and like Japanese mythology and I don't know.
17:40
I really admire it they really treat life as it's as if it's so precious.
17:48
>> Man, that's why Tokyo is my favorite city that >> I've never been. >> when I'm not home.
17:53
Ah, Miko, you are going to love >> My fans know that if I disappear for months, I'm probably in Japan.
17:59
>> Yeah, like it's it's profound. >> Mhm.
18:02
>> It's not just enjoyable. It's profound.
18:05
I found and my family found when we went there.
18:07
Like >> You went with your family? >> Yeah. >> That's so nice.
18:10
>> And then I went on my own later.
18:10
It it's just like so incre I mean a few times, but it's just when you go there you find your it's crazy because you're in this city which when you're up high overlooking it is feels bigger than any city on the planet. It feels like Gotham. It does.
18:25
It kind of dwarfs New York in a in a way cuz New York is goes up and is intense, but this just it goes on forever.
18:30
And then when you would then when you're there I find myself so calm and so at peace. >> That's magical.
18:37
>> And I think it's because and I'm not saying it's not a stressful city for people, but I think it's because of the time people take to do things. They don't rush.
18:46
And you come back here and everyone's try I mean I'm driving here I'm like, "Ah, the way what are you doing?
18:48
Oh, no, don't stop at the light. Oh, what are you doing?"
18:50
It's like they knew >> I was on the way here.
18:52
>> Yeah, and you never get that feeling out there at all.
18:53
You get a sense of like yeah, they're moving with purpose. >> Yeah.
18:57
>> But there's an order to things and there's a real like you to your point care and thought that is like centuries old of of like you know, longer of trying to sort of do things the right way. It's cool, man. >> It is.
19:08
I really hug um everything I can that I read, that I just like, um, resonate with.
19:14
And that was definitely one of them.
19:16
And so, I feel like this last year with the album and and with this deluxe, I've been more present than ever.
19:25
And I'm so happy about that.
19:25
I'm really I'm really enjoying myself right now.
19:29
I'm really enjoying my space and my freedom and my creativity.
19:31
I'm really enjoying my friends and everything I've done, like going to the festival, for example, just with my friends and my brother.
19:38
I had never done something like that.
19:40
>> Super Bowl and just rolling in and being a part of that celebration and just dancing and having a good time.
19:44
And it wasn't even like you had to go with the pressure of it all.
19:48
It was just like B is like, I got this. Just roll with me.
19:51
Benny like, just come with me. >> I know.
19:53
And then it's like and it was so genuine and like intentions, you know, and let's that they just it ends up working for you. >> Yeah.
20:03
>> When you just do things to have fun and >> Cuz you're genuine and well-intentioned.
20:07
It's like you do put out and you do get back, you know. >> Totally.
20:10
>> All right, touring shows. >> Let's go. >> Let's go. Biggest shows ever.
20:12
Biggest run ever, right from the start. >> excited.
20:16
It's been my dream to do arenas >> Yeah.
20:18
I'm so happy to see that. >> so patient with it. >> Yeah. You took your time.
20:21
But again, we talked a little bit about this off the air about the right time for things and just because there's an interest or an invitation doesn't mean you need to necessarily accept it. >> totally.
20:31
>> So, now that you've accepted it and you're and you're ready to take on this and and bring your show to tens of thousands of people, how have you approached it?
20:37
Without giving anything away, how fun has it been to approach the creative?
20:40
Cuz it's a big room to fill.
20:43
>> Actually, it's the easy part cuz like especially like for this case, for example, where I've imagined it for such a long time and and like manifested it for such a long time, I already envision so many things that I just like the moment we got we got it confirmed, I was like, I already know what I'm going to do. I want this. I want this. I want that.
21:01
I'm going to wear this and I'm going to do this.
21:02
And it's like it's like you say, like everything happens when it has to happen.
21:09
I've been so respectful of the steps and the process and the eras, you know?
21:15
Um I really want to, like I said, with the with this Ukiyo, like, mindset.
21:20
I really want to hug the present and I really I really want to hug every stage I'm in.
21:24
I don't want to feel like I jump steps. >> Mhm.
21:27
>> Like, maybe I could have done arena a few years ago, maybe, you know?
21:28
But, like, I was like, "Wait, but then I'll look back and back and say I never did theaters."
21:34
Or I never did the clubs.
21:34
And I really want to feel like I respected every single step of the way and and I enjoyed it so much.
21:40
And then these shows, where you're so close to the fans, is when they'll never see you like that again, you know, that close.
21:45
I mean, hopefully they will, but >> These are wise words from a sage and good human.
21:52
I'm telling you, if you're listening to this right now and you're an artist, >> What's the rush?
21:58
>> Wow, that's a great question. That's a great question.
22:01
And it's actually deeper than just It's the kind of question gets thrown at you when you're a kid and you're trying to you're trying to get somewhere at the front of a queue or whatever and a teacher, a parent, or a guardian, or a friend, or a older sibling goes, "What's the rush?"
22:15
But, it's actually a great question because I think we have been drawn into this environment where the rush is real for people.
22:24
And they're like, "Why aren't I there yet?
22:25
Why haven't I got there yet?"
22:25
Did you ever feel that way at times? >> Yeah, for sure.
22:31
>> What got you through it?
22:32
>> I tried to look at it from another angle, like, instead of going, "Why am I not there yet?"
22:38
I I tried to look at it from a perspective of there must be a reason why I'm not there yet.
22:42
And I probably have to enjoy these these things and life will put other things in my way that when this moment comes, I'm going to feel as ready as ever.
22:50
And that feels like the case right now, which makes me really happy.
22:54
I'm like, dreaming about these arenas and I'm just I feel so ready for them.
22:57
And I'm so excited for the fans just the things that we're putting together and how amazing it's going to come out and I always try to deliver my best, you know, and leave it out all on the field or the in this case the stage.
23:10
>> We've gone full circle.
23:10
We're back on the field, right?
23:13
>> Yeah, and I love that pressure.
23:13
I love um the jitters before stage to get ready and like just knowing that you're going to kill it and if if there's uh a little mistake in the show or like electrical technical issue or whatever >> It was It was already written in history.
23:29
So, why am I going to stress over it?
23:30
How am I going to deal with this, you know?
23:31
Like the energy I put out with this little issue is what's going to define the whole moment or maybe even the whole show.
23:40
>> It can also make for something that's actually you didn't even think about.
23:42
>> Like um when we did the trolley back in Puerto Rico, the first night we had a little technical issue where the sound went off. >> Mhm.
23:49
>> I lost my in-ears, uh the box, everything, the dancers, everything.
23:53
And the sound went out and I remember thinking like, I'm already here. What can I do?
23:58
All I can do right now is smile and look pretty.
24:00
That's really I remember, you know, the Madagascar movie when the penguins go, "Just smile and wave, boys."
24:07
That's honestly what was going through my mind and it became one of my favorite moments actually of both nights cuz then the fans just like bounced it right back. >> you.
24:17
I mean >> And they never stopped screaming and they never stopped smiling and it was just such a special moment.
24:22
>> so many good stories of people I admire who have embraced those kind of mistakes and the crazy way There's a technical difficulty.
24:27
One of them makes a mistake.
24:29
I remember screaming and Benga shouts to scream and Benga.
24:32
During the dubstep crazy and it was really crazy. I don't know, man.
24:36
Something happened and the tent went from supportive to rowdy to judgmental to angry pretty fast. >> It Yeah. >> Pretty fast.
24:43
It can turn on you pretty fast.
24:45
>> These two guys stepped back from the decks.
24:47
I was outside the tent looking in.
24:48
They lit cigarettes, took and they started having a conversation.
24:52
And just literally like they were in the pub.
24:53
Just drinking a beer, having a conversation, having a laugh, having a good time, cracking up, high fiving someone, coming on like nothing mattered.
25:01
Everything was totally fine.
25:05
You know, and then like and then after about 3 minutes like everyone started to go stop stop getting really angry and start to sort of wonder what was going on.
25:12
And then they started to calm down and have a drink and talk amongst themselves and no one left and everyone was really chill.
25:18
And then sure enough just when the time was right, you know, it was like all right, we ready?
25:22
And then they didn't say anything.
25:23
They just they just walked back on and they would and they would literally just like all right, cool, let's you know, let's do it.
25:27
And they came on and they just literally >> I mean >> went on went on.
25:30
And the crowd went crazy cuz they leaned into it. >> Totally.
25:34
>> And they accepted it for what it was.
25:36
>> Carol did that in her show.
25:36
She was finishing finishing her show.
25:38
She was singing Si una vez reconocido.
25:40
And then she stops the song and then she goes, guys, I'm short on time so there's a song I really want to sing before I leave so can we do that instead of like >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:51
>> And then the fans were like, yes, whatever you want queen, you know what I mean?
25:54
And then she just killed that And that's something you learn along the way.
26:00
>> It can be the best thing.
26:00
I remember the Prodigy said it to me when they everything went down.
26:02
I said >> It's probably the best thing you can learn.
26:05
>> I said this is terrible and Keith, rest his soul, said this is the best thing that could have happened. >> Totally.
26:09
It shows how in control you are.
26:10
>> Yeah, and when we go back on, we have an opportunity >> Totally. >> to do it again.
26:13
To take that thing that had happened at like 20 minutes ago at the start of the show and do it again. >> Totally.
26:20
>> Why would we reject that?
26:21
>> gave you an opportunity to live again. Isn't that crazy? >> Exactly.
26:25
>> It's actually poetic if you think about it. >> Yeah, it is.
26:26
Man, I've had a great time.
26:28
That was a very very fast 35 minutes.
26:31
And I feel like next time we talk we should stretch out even longer and have a much longer conversation.
26:36
>> However long you want. I'd love to.
26:38
>> You really are a real one. >> Thank you so much.
26:41
Thank you so much for having me, guys.
26:44
>> Young Miko, nothing but nothing but love and success to you.
26:46
>> Shout out to you, man. >> Mhm.
