Dain: I’m nervous af tbh.

ED: I’m excited af.

FFM: Very excited!! Lotta pressure personally to follow up from the awesome yung bae and aritus and night tempo from yesterday. We’re all trying to bring future funk to the masses.

Q: Will there be videos or livestreams of the whole set?

FFM: Real love is streaming it.

Q: How many shows have you guys done before?

FFM: I DJd in a club for two years and done… a lot of shows…. but this show is still huge to me!

Dain: Some of us have done dozens of shows in the past. Some of us have never done any.

Pan!c Pop: I personally have played shows of varying sizes over the years since 2012. Since I started I haven’t stopped so my show schedule has it’s peaks and vallies They could be as often as once every other month, one a month, twice a month, etc For the most part I’ve played small — mid sized raves A few big concerts at clubs opening for known artists And since 2015 about 3–4 cons at their big raves in the summer across southern ontario, branching off to montreal and now DC.

Tokyo: This is my first show as Tokyo wanderer, most of my gigs are with my metal band.

Q: How long y’all staying in Toronto

FFM: Most of us are here till Sunday.

Q: Is there probably gonna a afterparty with you guys, if so what are you planning to do?

ED: Drink. I wanna go to a salsa club.

Dain: Might go to some bars in Toronto.

Q: Wait mere is there?

Dain: Yes. He’s cute.

FFM: Yeah mere is here and killing it. He drank all my Jameson.

Q: Why did ya’ll choose toronto?

Chevron: Lots of ppl live in Toronto.

FFM: Cause dain said so.

Dain: The people with all the connects live in Toronto.

Q: If this goes successfully are you thinking of touring in other countries such as the uk?

FFM: We’d love to do another show… but a lot of paid to come here and it takes a lot of money and effort. If someone PAID us (lol) we’d be down. For example, I’m from Australia, ev is from scottland, Tokyo is from Portugal. Definitely a lot of people are spending out of pocket and in the red to play this show, speaking personally.

Dain: Yeah, they’re could definitely be more shows. But I’m not personally planning anything at the moment.

Q: Do you think having a tour with a future funk lineup like this could possibly be sustainable with some retooling?

FFM: No, Unless we got sponsored.

ED: If this show goes well there will definitely be more.

Dain: Honestly, I think it could work. The expenses weren’t as heavy as I planned.

Q: So basically, this trip has been mostly out-of-pocket from each artist with little/no money return?

Dain: Yeah, plus a bunch of my funds :/

FFM: Yes, Donate plz

Q: How many of yall are here, like at the show, how many people are performing?

Dain: 10 at the show.

Chevron: In the air bnb Rn like 11, gonna be 12 when fibre comes here.

Q: How much people are you expecting to show up at tommorow’s show?

FFM: 100–150 small show but fun.

Q: Did you guys know each other before this event?

Pan!c Pop: honestly no — from discord ya but not IRL.

Q: In all seriousness, a future funk gig in philly would prob do well, i know skylar spence headlined a vaporwave/future funk party in philly in october — if it were viable would there be interest in such a show?

FFM: I’d go to philly for sure. Been there a lot. Lovely city.

Pan!c Pop: If we had connects there why not.

ED: I can definitely hit up philly.

Q: Possible to create a FF event in France with all of you ? So we could play some French House

Pan!c Pop: If someone is willing to help fiance at trip to france I”m also down. making international shows happen is hella expensive tho. there are many factors — travel, accommodations, food, and everything else. at the moment everyone is independently funding their part in this.

Dain: France sounds like fun. I’d be down for it. Yeah funding is the biggest problem.

ED: So shows outside of the US would be difficult. I Feel thats something more along the way. For now while we’re still growing, the focus will be NA.

Chevron: Most of these would u come to these cities questions come down to money and connections.

Tokyo: Portugal is next to France, if anybody got some :Money: :Money:.

Q: How much $$ would you need to raise to do a show or tour?

Chevron: Thousands of dollars. For example it cost me 1400 for flights.

FFM: A single show…. for everyone …. maybe $5000 tbh.

Dain: In the range of like 4 thousand bucks.

Q: I saw some of you went to Magfest (I’ve been involved with that con as staff) have you thought about branching out to anime conventions to promote the genre and get a foothold on the US?

Dain: Technically we started with anime conventions.

Pan!c Pop: we already kinda doing that but in Canada — Magfest is our only current US con. at the moment. we’d def do more but it’s more of a networking thing.

Q: Any advice for someone who has never performed before?

ED: Practice and most important have fun. That energy definitely translates to the crowd.

Q: What games are you guys playing rn? i see a lot of consoles on the pictures

Pan!c Pop: Smash ultimate all day baby.
