KUNGS: Iโm currently working on a new album. The new direction and story that I am trying to tell will be more mellow and emotional. Iโve been to LA a lot to write songs so Iโll try to release the new single before summer and Iโll have 5-6 tracks ready to be release!

AsiaLive365: Given a chance to host a stage at one of the big music festival, who will be in your lineup?
KUNGS: Iโd love to have Calvin Harris for sure! I think heโs probably one of my favourite DJs. Also Boys Noize, Skrillex and maybe also with Dua Lipa and other Pop singers.
AsiaLive365: Have you performed a B2B set before? If not who would the artist of your dreams be for a B2B set?
KUNGS: Iโve done a lot of B2B mostly with friends and DJ friends at after parties. My dream B2B would definitely be with Daft Punk!
AsiaLive365: Is it important to be a DJ and a producer nowadays in order to be noticed?
KUNGS: Yes I think itโs important to be a DJ as well as a producer because it allows you to have your own atmosphere and your own vibe. Thereโs nothing better than to be able to play your own tracks on stage! I think it would be really sad if I didnโt produce!
