Seattle House Mafia Industry Interviews by Seattle House Mafia S04E04
Seattle House Mafia sits down with Sloane Motion, and this time the crew is in the hot seat. This episode brings all three members of Seattle House Mafia together for a deep, unfiltered conversation about how three DJs with completely different backgrounds became a crew, a brand, and lifelong friends. The trio traces their individual paths into electronic music: Phil's Seattle upbringing and first rave at 16, Paul's journey from UK happy hardcore tape packs to house music, and Sang-Do's route from Seoul to Honolulu to West Seattle's rave scene. They also share how they actually found each other, starting with a SoundCloud connection and a Global Dance Records release, and how pandemic-era beach sessions at Alki turned into the crew that exists today. Listeners get a real look at how the Mafia builds a b2b2b set. No pre-planned track lists, just genre-based folders and an unspoken system for setting each other up rather than trying to outdo one another. They revisit some of their favorite recent gigs, including Flammable, Be My Guest and opening for global headliners. There's a great detour into Seattle nightlife history with the story of Medusa (and how it eventually became Foundation), plus a candid discussion on identity, balancing DJing with full-time careers, and why none of them see it as a sacrifice. The episode closes with a look at where the Seattle House Mafia brand is headed next, from expanding the interview series to production plans on the horizon. #SeattleHouseMafia #HouseMusic #DJInterview

Mixed Up Mike Industry Interviews by Seattle House Mafia S04E03
Phil Anthony sits down with Mixed Up Mike (Mike Comella), a Seattle DJ, promoter, and dance music veteran with more than 25 years in the scene. Mike's introduction to dance music is one you won't forget. After growing up between Portland and Seattle and getting into trouble as a teenager, he found himself being hauled off to a wilderness rehabilitation program by two giant dudes, an experience that changed the course of his life. There, he met a new group of friends who introduced him to his first rave at NAFF Studios in 1999, and the rest is history. Later that same summer, watching Seattle DJ legend Donald Glaude perform at Bumbershoot became the defining moment when he realized exactly what he wanted to do with his life. Phil and Mike trace the full arc, from the early days grinding on Gemini belt-drive turntables and building a vinyl collection to landing his first residency at Watertown in Belltown while working a day job at Guitar Center. They also dive into his work with Kaos Theory Events alongside promoter Jeff Dowlz, including the story of bringing Skrillex to Seattle for the very first time in 2011. The contract was signed before "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" exploded a month later, setting the stage for a memorable call from the booking agent asking to renegotiate the deal. The conversation also explores why Mike stepped away from DJing for a time, and what ultimately brought him back. That story is deeply personal. One afternoon, Mike's three-year-old daughter Lyla wandered into the garage and instinctively started back-spinning on his turntables. As a non-verbal child with autism, music has become one of the ways she connects with the world, and one of the ways Mike connects with her. Watching her that day, Mike realized DJing had become something bigger than himself. About a year into creating content, Mike's "Bring These Tracks Back" series caught Phil's attention on Instagram, long before he realized Mike was local. That's what led to this conversation. They also dive into a thoughtful discussion about AI in music, what it means for creators, why it sparks such strong reactions, and what it could eventually mean for people like Lila. Honest, experienced, and refreshingly free of clout-chasing. Just a deep love of music and a story worth hearing. Be sure to check out Mixed Up Mike and his thoughtful, raw, and often hilarious content: Instagram: @_mixedupmike_Instagram: @groove_refugeTikTok: @grooverefuge And if you're in the Seattle area, don't miss his monthly party, Disco Sucks, at Calypso in Edmonds. #DJInterview #ElectronicMusic #SeattleDJ #HouseMusic #RaveHistory

Jason Brown Industry Interviews by Seattle House Mafia S04E02
In this episode of Seattle House Mafia Industry Interviews, we sat down with Jason Brown, DJ, producer, and grandson of the Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown. Jason came through Seattle for back-to-back gigs, playing Elevated Frequencies’ 3rd anniversary party, Transcend, at Nectar Lounge and the Populus Hotel, hosted by the Pacific Skyline Club. We were lucky enough to catch him between shows. We got into Jason’s upbringing in Augusta, Georgia, just minutes from where his grandfather lived, and what it was like growing up under the Brown legacy. He didn’t fully grasp the scale of who James Brown was until the funeral at the Apollo Theater, when he was just 16. Seeing the crowds and the celebrities who showed up that day changed everything. Music ran through the entire family. His uncle played in James Brown’s band, his aunt performed alongside Bootsy Collins, and his mom became a radio DJ, which is where Jason spent his formative years. She now runs the James Brown Academy of Music in Augusta, teaching kids ages 4–18 through his grandfather’s catalog, and leads the James Brown Family Historical Tour. Jason earned his degree in film and worked on the Get On Up before fully committing to music. He spoke candidly about navigating the weight of the Brown name while building his own identity as an artist, not wanting to rely solely on James Brown remixes, but proving he has a real ear and a sound of his own. We talked about how it all started when he brought a track featuring his granddad to Universal Music Group. They liked it, but said it needed a bigger name attached. He took that note and, through cold DMs, locked in Laidback Luke, then landed a Carl Cox collaboration shortly after, turning that early moment into real traction. He also teased upcoming collabs with Ferreck Dawn, Todd Terry, Will Clarke, and Born Dirty. The conversation got real when Jason opened up about the grind of self-managed touring, the difference between a $500 booking and a $50,000 one, and why his core mission is bringing James Brown’s music to the next generation through electronic music and beyond. Raw, honest, and genuinely inspiring. Listen to his guest mix: https://youtu.be/Su9ekmv2q_E #SeattleHouseMafia #JasonBrown #JamesBrown
