Who are you?
Together we are ACT YO AGE
Individually we are the infamous SHIVERS* and the ever prolific PABLO CALAMARI At a sub atomic level we are made of energy.

Where are you from?
We are both Australian, born in Sydney, but share a European heritage - our families coming from Budapest and Sicily.

What do you do?
We are beat makers, club shakers & heart breakers. We are night creatures - we are at home in basements, caverns, crypts or spaceships.

When and where was your best gig?
Wow - its a tough one, so we will give top three:
Pulse Radio Float at Love Parade in 2007 (purely because of the scale and setting - it is v surreal)
Social Club in Paris in Sept 2009
Villa in Berlin in Sept 2009

Who is your all time musical hero?
Another tough one! For us, our tastes are too diverse to offer a singular penultimate hero. We could choose one through each age and genre of music, but the list would be three pages long...

Do you have a favourite place or somewhere where you get the best reaction?
Of course, we love playing in Europe as the tastes are generally more  sophisticated and that is close to our hearts. In Australia there are a few awesome clubs: WHAM in Sydney, EMPIRE in Brisbane and ELECTRIC CIRCUS in Adelaide.They are all smallish rooms but the vibes are hedonistic and the crowds are open to almost anything!

Is there an all-time favourite track you wish you'd produced?
Not a track per say, but the chance to work with someone like Miles Davis would have been a privilege.

Which is more appealing to you while djing - to dig out a relatively old track, or play the newest release?
For us, we think the key to a good Dj set is to explore that balance - New and fresh to generate excitement or interest and some well chosen classics to expose the roots of the new.

Which is your personal favourite track that you’ve produced & why?
Producing our forthcoming EP for Southern Fried was exciting and truly rewarding as it was a return to our roots in house music. We feel the tracks are unique and still sounding fresh - even though we have waited 6 months for the release date :)

What do you have going on for the rest of the year?
Shows & touring, developing our AYA Sound System, Ep release, a few big remix projects and plenty of studio time in between!
