Milo & Otis sit down with Purple Sneakers and tells us what essential tour items can always be found in their luggage.
Purveyors of all things bass, duo MILO & OTIS (yes - named after the dog and cat camaraderie film of the same name), have been living the dream.
The young duo compromised of DJs NYMZ and Killagraham, have scored themselves backing on Skrillex's OWSLA label and have been touring the world, playing alongside Dillion Francis and What So Not.
The esteemed remixers are taking to Australia and New Zealand next month, playing a mega tour that will see the pair deliver some stellar sets amongst the countries' dance club scene.

On a tour that sees the pair travel to seven cities over the course of eight days, us here at Purple Sneakers were curious to know what essential items they'll be packing for their time down under. Thankfully, we were able to sit down with the boys and uncover what they can't go without when on tour.
MILO'S PICKS
BOW TIE
“To keep it classy amongst all of the ratchetry”.
BLACK BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT
“Essential for the bow tie."
TRIDENT GUM
“TRIDENT SPONSOR ME ALREADY. Necessary for conversation and when brushing teeth is not an option.”
NOISE-CANCELLING HEADPHONES
“Absolutely need these in case of being on a plane and babies start crying.”
HAIR GEL
“Because the most important thing when writing a song is making sure your hair looks great.”
OTIS' PICKS:
BLACK T SHIRTS
“I have so many black shirts I cant even count, but just enough to last me for a tour! You never know what you are gonna get yourself into, so I need as many as possible.”
HAT
“ I always need to have my hat! Especially with this hair that I have, and the good thing is I usually only need one hat, since it always goes with my wardrobe of black shirts.”
COMPUTER
“ It would be a pretty unproductive tour if I didn't have my computer. The computer is where the music is made, the music is found and sometimes where I check TMZ for the latest celebrity gossip.”
TOOTHBRUSH
“ You've got to keep up with your hygiene on tour and your toothbrush is essential! Just remember to bring toothpaste too....or the toothbrush is useless.”
USB
“You can't play the show unless you have your USB! I can't tell you how many times my USB has disappeared and reappeared. It's a good thing I have multiple!”
