PET Duo - We have lots of work during the last few months, but we love so much what we are doing, that we cannot complain…also we do not see djing as work, we see it as a way of life, we put so much of ourselves into what we do, that we feel the limits of work and private life blurring on the dancefloor J

David – I would love to be an astronaut, drift into zero gravity, contemplate the stars and then see the earth and the rain falling down on the people on the ground…I would like to do that, for sure!

Ana – I would like to be the co-pilot of that space ship that would bring David to space…we hate to be separated!

PET Duo - We just played in the continents of South America and Europe, and in South America, we like to play at Lov.e Club, in São Paulo, our hometown in Brasil, and in Europe we like to play at M47, of course!

PET Duo - We like to play Techno, but also we play different styles of music on top of our Techno sets. We listen at home to Techno, House, Electro, Minimal, Experimental, Rap, EBM, Rock, Classical music, French Music, Brazilian folk...We listen to so many different stuff, one normal day at home could start with Beethoven in the morning, then some old classic rap like Public Enemy or Beastie Boys to warm up, afterwards we would put on some Motorhead heavy metal, then we would listen to some Electro from Detroit, after, we would practice on the decks with some Techno, and then, before we sleep, Love Me tender, from Elvis, is a good invitation for some romance…we love music!

PET Duo - We used to have daytime jobs before being fulltime DJs. Ana worked in a record store, with webdesign and audio studio. David worked as the manager of a hairdresser saloon, producer of video publicity, then, later on, video editor.

PET Duo - We can name a few artist that are the main inspirations for our music :

DJ Rush, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, Jeff Mills, DJ Godfather, Mark EG, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, as DJs and producers.

Now for the artists that just produce music, we can say Ministry, Sepultura, Front 242, french singer Serge Gainsbourg, Nine Inch Nails…but really, too many to name.

PET Duo - No. We do not know how to play any other instrument, besides playing records and producing with computer.

PET Duo - As technology grows, and as a style that is mainly based on the advance of this technology, We just see the future of Techno as bright as ever, with many influences coming from all other styles, like Electro, Minimal, Rap, Drum´n´Bass.

PET Duo - When we first came to tour Europe with DJ Rush, back in 2002, was amazing moment, to see how much space and understanding of the electronic music is possible, this blew our minds…also when we played first time at the club were we met and got married, the Hell´s Club, in São Paulo, was a very sentimental moment. When we played the first time at ILoveTechno and at Spanish festival Monegros were very special moments in our lifes. And when we played the first time at M47, in 2003, at the same night that Speedy J played a wonderful 3 hours live pa, was a blast, the club was full of energy, we remember the faces of the crowd, enjoying that moment and smiling all the way, that was such a good feeling!

PET Duo - Some years ago we played at a party in the interior of Brazil, and the DJ that played after us did something really strange, after every record he played, he used a blowpipe to melt the vinyls and then, would give to the crowd so they could wear it as a hat! After that gig, we never heard about him ever again, maybe he melted all his collection and got out of records to play, uhaahuuaha!!

PET Duo - We are dominated by this will for doing what we are doing…we cannot explain why, besides our love for it, we see no other reason that is needed to do this…of course, we are happy that people enjoy our work, and that we can get paid for it, but even if people hated it, and we could not live from the music, then we would be doing the same thing we were doing when we started, having daytime jobs, and still keep playing and writing tracks during our free time.

PET Duo - We play videogames, watch movies, surf on the net, read books, play with our 4 cats and go out for a walk in the city.

PET Duo - Web shops are nice, but illegal downloads sucks. Please, give support to the artists!!

PET Duo - We use Cubase, Reason, Ableton Live, Sound Forge, Acid Pro softwares, and Waves , Ultrafunk, Antares, Battery, Absynth, Halion, vst instruments and plug ins. Now we are learning how to make music with gear, we bought the samplers Akai MPC2500 and Korg Electribe ESX1.

PET Duo - MAC! Much more stable system, ideal for doing music.

PET Duo - Techno is a special force behind electronic music, we see this style not as popular as trance or house music, but the way it is developed, always searching for that sound that we never heard before, always based in a highly danceable 4 by 4 format, it is pretty much important as the origin and influence to other styles, like Trance, Hardcore, House and Rap. So in the map of electronic music, we would position it as number 4, behind Rap, Trance, and House, but number one in our hearts and in the minds of the free people!

PET Duo - 4 Decks, 2 mixers, a good sound system, a good open crowd and, of course, cold beer!
