Simple Symmetry - 'Enkidu' (Disco Halal)
Guido: They're the Lipsky brothers from Moscow. The first time we went to Russia we met with Lipelis who is also a great producer and DJ. He introduced us to SimSym's music. And then we had to wait four years to meet them! We finally invited them to a party in Berlin - we have a residency there and can choose the guests and hope they’ll come. And so they came and they're as brilliant as DJs as they are as producers and they are getting bigger and bigger. Everybody wants a remix from them. They are so talented.    Hervé: We were never booked on the same night previous to that. We exchanged a lot of mails and music but we only met last year.
