    Interview with Classixx

    It all began in a basement apartment in Echo Park, Los Angeles, where hundreds of people appeared at semi-regular Hush Hush parties hosted by Tyler Blake and Michael David — aka Classixx. That was over three years ago; since then, Classixx has become one of the most respected duos in dance music, thanks in no small part to a string of high-profile remixes (including Phoenix’s “Lisztomania” and Yacht’s “Psychic City”).
