On the day of their triumphal concert in Paris, Die Antwoord agreed to a rare interview with us, the first one after two years of silence. They gave us a scoop: the legendary DJ Muggs from Cypress Hill will be working on their upcoming album, « Rats Rule ».

In Paris for an explosive concert on January 28th at the prestigious Zenith, Die Antwoord decided to make a slight detour through Studio Harcourt for a little shooting. One might think the band would mind the esthetic gap between the studio’s classy reputation and their grungy style, but the South Africans are completely at ease with it.

Thanks to the Studio Harcourt’s incredible lighting, we recorded a unique interview with Ninja and Yo-Landi. We talked about everything from their relationship with the media to their involvement in Neill Blomkamp’s upcoming movie Chappie. On top of it, they revealed they will be working on their next album, Rats Rule, with the legendary DJ from Cypress Hill, DJ Muggs.
