It just looks bad in the public eye and the mayor obviously has to take action. Yeah, it will probably move to a different location it’s such an epic, amazing festival. They are just still two kids, I don’t care who it is, it’s still two kids that passed away, it’s just so sad. I realize that with drugs, when you throw them in the mix, there are going to be repercussions. They were just trying to go to the festival and have a good time. My first thought was I feel so sorry for these kids’ parents and their friends.
It’s really hard to cope with something like that happening especially when you know these kids are either fans or fans’ friends and you know everyone is just having a great time. There are police everywhere and ambulances are there ready. They have tents with water that they are giving out. It’s really under wraps and everything is pretty taken care of at EZOO. It’s pretty rare and it’s such a huge festival with lots of security. When they found out a second person died, I think it was just a big blow because that never happens at festivals. I don’t think anyone wanted to blow it out of proportion yet because they didn’t know any causes. Everything was still running smoothly and so at that point I thought we would just keep going it was kind of flying under the radar. When we got to EZoo we found out that someone had passed and the festival was still going on. How did you feel when you heard the news that the last day was cancelled? You were scheduled to perform on Sunday… We were really looking forward to play because we played last year and had such a good experience. I love the theme of if it too, Electric Zoo, the animal theme. I think that’s what I love about it and it’s just amazing to see such a diverse crowd. I think the cool thing about Electric Zoo is that it brings in people from both coasts as well as people from all over the country.

It has more culture than other city and is full of color. This is one of our favorite festivals in the states just because New York itself has so much culture and so many foreigners. Last year was our first year – it was awesome. You came to New York for Electric Zoo, have you performed at the festival before? It’s really exciting to have features like that in a song that we actually wrote with Patrick Stump and Travis. We are trying to bring that back into the music we are making now. We grew up listening to pop, punk, metal, and rock. That’s a good example of how we are trying to blend all of our influences. That’s probably one of our favorite tracks on this album. We have a dope collaboration on this album with Patrick Stump and Travis Barker. We tried to really open our minds to making music that did not stay in a box of a genre. There is everything from drum and bass, carnival step, progressive house, electro house, and dub step. We have been working on this album for about 14 months now and it’s a combination of those past 14 months. You have a new album coming out called “Get Wet” can you tell me about it? They are not our little minions, they are our family and friends. We call them our Krew because we feel like they are our friends, our buddies, our team, and our family. We naturally started calling our fans our “Krew”. That’s another thing that’s kind of fallen into place too, “Get Wet”. It really represents our sound with Chris’ dark, metal inspired production along with our melodic vocals. I love how it is feminine yet it feels dark and evil at the same time. With Krewella I really feel like it’s something that people won’t forget. The spelling is different to the Disney character, “Cruella”. I love names that are unforgettable, names that you can Google. It was a very unique name as titles go, song titles, and artists names.
The name popped in my head and I didn’t second-guess it. We tried out a couple of other girls beforehand, when it was just Chris and I. This was before Yasmine joined the group. How did you come up with you stage name Krewella? We put out our first songs and it seems like so long ago. It was July 2011 – so exactly 2 years, 2 months ago. We are singers and song writers and we all DJ.Īlmost seven years, since 2007, but we debuted only 3 years ago. We have a third member Chris aka Rain Man and he’s our producer. Krewella: I’m Yasmine and I’m Jahan we are two thirds of Krewella. Indira Cesarine: I hear you have a new album coming out, and a lot of performances lined up – tell me everything! We caught up with the hybrid DJ / performance trio Krewella while they were in New York this week for an exclusive interview. Krewella by Indira Cesarine for The Untitled Magazine
