But how did you meet each other, and how did you manage to combine both roots for a joint project? A: We met in Madrid, our home town, over 22 years ago, time flies! Pablo was a young producer and used to bring me his first demos to the night club, where I (Chus) was the resident DJ. Two years after we had the chance to met in person for the first time, there was the coincidence that we quit working with our old studio partners, and we decided to gave us a try. Our musical backgrounds were different as you can listen to on these mixtapes, but from the very first moment in the studio, the magic happened. Some of the top record labels in the world at that moment were right away interested in releasing our music, labels such as Black Vinyl, Hooj Choons, NRK, Yoshitoshi, Shinichi, Nervous Records or Twisted America, to name but a few. We can say that we couldn't expect such a fantastic welcome to what we called the 'Iberican Sound' and here we are 20 years later! Q: Corona crisis is currently hitting us all hard, everyone in a different but also same way. How do you spend your days at the moment? A: We have our studios at home, that's a blessing on these quarantine times. We try to follow a daily routine, working a lot in new music and collaboration projects for our label Stereo Productions and also other ones but without forgetting our mental and physical health. Meditating and exercising every day, trying to be as healthy as possible. Communicating with the people we love, family, and friends has been crucial these days. The only way to go over all of this is together as a community. The music industry needs to go back on its feet as soon as this nightmare ends. Q: Which future projects are on the way? A: We are taking advantage of these no-traveling days, making a lot of music, and focusing on our upcoming album. As soon as these exceptional times end, we'll be back on track, to continue celebrating the 20th anniversary of Chus & Ceballos and Stereo Productions. We started in our home town Madrid then visit Chile and Costa Rica. We hope to begin traveling soon and visit Miami, New York, Chicago, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vegas, Barcelona, Mexico, Athens, Lima, Buenos Aires, and Tokyo to complete the STEREO2020 Tour. We are also working on a TV documentary and an extraordinary music release and many other surprises to celebrate this great 20 years together, stay tuned.
