First off, we can’t thank you enough for getting involved with the Live Twitter Q&A with Shiftee last week! Things got seriously out of control! So much so, in fact, that our man Shiftee actually exceeded his daily tweeting limit. In ONE HOUR!
For the next few weeks we’ll be letting YOU ask our producers and DJ’s anything you want. You can ask them how they produced their latest track, which artists they dig right now or what their favorite sandwich filling is! It can be as deep or as silly as you like.
Each Q&A will last for one hour only and it’s your chance to get an insight into the inner workings of the Seclusiasis crew and how their minds work. Last week saw our boy DJ Shiftee take the hot seat, answering questions on everything from his label Hot Mom USA with Rx to his favorite touring equipment and something about James Bond cars filled with jello?!! It was super silly and super fun!
For those of you who missed it we thought we’d post up the results so you can feel bad and get involved with the next one with the first lady of Street Bass, Suzi Analog who features on Dev79‘s hottest track of the moment “Black Hoodie” – more on that soon!
