Anyma surprised fans at Coachella by joining Yeat during his set, and we had the opportunity to sit down with the DJ as he shared his excitement about the conclusion of the Genesys trilogy with the release of his album End of Genesys in May, the inspiration behind his Coachella set, and more!

Tetris Kelly:

So from Sphere to Coachella, Anyma, bro, I don’t think people are ready for you to come out joining Yeat, even though you guys have the track together. So how was that whole vibe?

Yeah, no sh*t. I wasn’t ready for it. Like, honestly, like, it’s been just, like, surreal working with him. Like, so talented and like, we just, like, directly went for it, made the song in a few weeks, studied the visual, the whole universe we wanted to make collide, you know? My world, his world, his world’s crazy, like the energy was insane, like it was, for sure, an experience and some crossover even I didn’t expect I would have done this in my life, you know.

And I mean, you have, obviously, through your career, created a really awesome world which people saw at Sphere. So how do you come into like his world and like do your own thing? 

Well, I feel like artists such as me, and yet we have such strong vision for our brands and our art and what it means to be an artist into this contemporary world that when, when two universes like that collide, it or works very well, or is it like a disaster, you know, like, because it’s not obviously something we did for necessary, for commercial purposes, or just to make it happen, you know, we really wanted to see if we can, like, do something next level and sort of like, you know, makes, you know, make people say, Like, what is this?

Tetris Kelly:Bringing the ‘Chella vibes with my girl. Uncle Waffles, what’s going on, boo? 

Uncle Waffles:Hey! 

We’re happy to have you here, but you gotta start by saying, you know, for the people out there that don’t know you, how did you come up with the name? How did we get there? 

So I’m Uncle Waffles. There isn’t really a cool backstory. My friends came up with it in high school, and it just kind of carried on to where I am currently. It was never meant to be Uncle Waffles. It was just meant to be “Waffles,” but my manager decided that “Uncle Waffles” made me more unique. So here we are.

Listen, my name is Tetris, girl, so I understand. It also was a high school nickname, so it just happens. And then here we are. 

Then here you are, like, yeah, I love it. 

Well, you’re playing one of the hottest parties at Coachella. I gotta say, I’ll be having myself a good time at Revolve. So how do you feel to be heading out there? 

I am so excited. I’m so excited to be bringing the sound to the world. You know, I know a lot of people. They probably won’t know what amapiano is, but I’m excited to be their first experience of it. I hope everyone loves it after they get to see me, you know. 

I mean, like, what can people expect from your set?

I’m talking about 21, of them, bad boys. Three top 10. 

Bow Wow:That’s crazy. 

Mr. Bow Weezy. 

What’s up, man? 

How you feeling? 

I’m good. I feel blessed. I’m great. 

Listen, man, we are on tour in Barclays at Brooklyn. Man, how has the tour been for you so far? 

Tour has been a blessing. You know, this is our fourth Millennium Tour, third one for me, and just going out on these … on the stage, and going to these arenas and just looking at 13, 14,000 people every night. Words can’t even describe because now staring at myself at 38 years old knowing that I was doing it 25 years ago and I’m still doing it. I’m still going down these tunnels and hallways. Sometimes, young child artists that start off young, they usually don’t make it this far. For me to still be here doing it, man, something must be going right

That’s God working right there. Absolutely, for cats who haven’t seen you perform, what’s your stage game like right now?
