Sydney exports Bioweapon are going to be busy at Magic City this May. The duo is performing twice on the night, showing off both sides to their production output. As Bioweapon they’ll go up against fellow homegrown stars Toneshifterz (who they’re poised to conquer The Netherlands with in 2011), with a second set under their BRK3 moniker back-to-back with Kutski. We found out from the guys how they’re enjoying the Dutch lifestyle and what’s planned for their homecoming.

In February this year you moved to the Netherlands. How are your experiences so far?
Holland is an amazing country. We’re not just talking about how flat it is! It’s a country that is both modern and ancient and so far it’s been really cool. Dutch people are very warm and welcoming, and aside from some minor hiccups the transition has gone pretty much seamlessly! Aside from leaving all our friends and family behind. Cue crowd: “awww!”

You kicked off 2011 with a massive performance at Hard Bass for 25,000 people. How was it?
In a word: electrifying. Being in front of so many people in the legendary venue that is the GelreDome was amazing. Normally it’s a football stadium, but as it has an epic arena with moveable grass (crazy!), the Dutch being Dutch have turned it into a massive party venue and it has a history of huge concerts and parties.

To be up there on the stage that so many have been on, and to be playing with our heroes Zany & Ran-D was an absolute honour. Hard Bass was a sea of people in front of us from front to back and to see them going absolutely insane to our music was nothing short of mind-blowing! By the end of the set everyone was chanting Team Blue, wanting more: incredible.

What are so far the three best things and three worst things about The Netherlands?
We’re going to cop a lot of flack for this, but the three worst things have to be the food, the cold…and the food. I know the Dutch love their fries (frites) and their deep-fried skinless sausage (frikandel) but I’m sorry, nothing beats a good old kebab from South West Sydney! We also decided to make the (not so) smart decision of moving to Holland during the tail-end of the European winter and it’s been amazingly cold. The Dutchies are used to this, but when we left Oz, it was 40-degrees and when we landed in Amsterdam it was 1-degrees – that’s quite a change!

The three best things by far have to be the parties, the music scene and the people. It goes without saying that Holland is definitely the place to party. Everything is so huge, so professional and so well done – they take good care of both their artists and their party-goers. Almost all electronic music is embraced and encouraged here, and hard dance is ingrained into the social culture, so the crowd is really well educated and knowledgeable. These pros far outweigh any cons and definitely make the move to Holland worth it.

In a few weeks time Toneshifterz will join you, and we heard they will be moving in with you. As you have known each other for a long time, what do you expect will be the best and worst things of living together?
Well, we’re going to be in each other’s faces constantly, which is a double-edged sword. It can be a good and bad thing. It will be awesome living with friends, and we’ll be able to bounce ideas back and forth quickly, but it also means that the mound of dishes after dinner is going to be huge. Not so much looking forward to that, but it will mean we’ll get less homesick because we’ll be BBQing all the time, rain hail or shine.

If you are not in the studio or DJing, how do you spend most of your spare time?
We have spare time? I guess we like long walks on the beach, candle-lit dinners, going to the movies and poetry, Destruction Derby and maybe some extreme ironing!
