About The Musicians
"We are more comfortable with not fighting what comes naturally. Before
we might have thought, 'We need to be smarter than this'"
- Xavier de Rosnay
Xavier de Rosnay & Gaspard Augé
Xavier De Ronsay and Gaspard Augé had a few mutual friends, who
happened to run a record label, seeking tracks for a compilation. With
an immediate connection, the pair decided to try their hand at making
a song. That’s when they created their breakout single, We Are Your
Friends – a feel-good, funk-filled, instant anthem that lost the remix
contest, but won the attention of Pedro Winter, director of the newly
founded Ed Banger Records, who boasted Daft Punk as former clients.
One week later, they were in his office, signing a record deal.
