Meet the DJ examines the people creating the soundtracks and experiences that make us feel most alive and connected. What drives them to do what they do, what inspires them, frustrates them, turns them on … how did they arrive here, and what do they think is coming next for them and for the world of music, dance, community, technology, and much more.
Eric and Maria are friends and cosmic siblings frequenting the dancefloors in Lisbon, Portugal and around the world.
