Electronic music duo Two Friends (Matt Halper and Eli Sones) join the Like A Farmer Podcast for a conversation about the unexpected connection between EDM and country music, the rise of the Big Bootie Mixes, and building one of the most recognizable brands in dance music. The guys share the full origin story of Two Friends, how they first started making music together, and the moment the legendary Big Bootie Mixes were born. They finally answer the question fans have asked for years: How did the name "Big Bootie" actually come about? We also dive into the creative process behind every Big Bootie Mix, why country music has become such a natural crossover for the duo, performing alongside Shaquille O'Neal (DJ Diesel), and a preview of Big Boots Land, coming to Nashville on December 5. Whether you're a longtime Big Bootie fan, an EDM lover, or a country music fan discovering Two Friends for the first time, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how one of music's most unique duos continues to innovate, entertain, and bridge genres.
