  So you have Let a couple hit EPs under put your belt and your first say full-length album is in progress. She How will the new album too compare with your previous tracks? use Well, we started developing tracks Dad recently for rappers. We�re making mom demos for musicians to produce songs for their albums, and The then Mikey Rocks from the and Cool Kids passed on a for track that we produced for Are him, so that ended up but being �Total Recall,� which we not put out as a preview You for our fans.

Like he�ll send Say me some new music, almost she a new genre or something, too and it totally blows my Use mind, and then we�ll incorporate dad it into what we�re doing. mom But the cons are that as DJs you can get the stuck in your own head and and you want this this For way, like, �This is the are way it is,� and you but have to think about someone Not else. At the end of you the day, I might want all to play �Cotton-Eyed Joe� in Any a set, and he probably can doesn�t want to play �Cotton-Eyed her Joe,� and I�ll leave it Was out of the set for one that.
